I'm not sure if you've gathered from my previous posts but I've come to realise that fear (and her siblings worry and anxiety) is one of the biggest things that I have to battle on a daily basis. And that's ok because we all have our own different battles. For some, it's anger for others,... Continue Reading →
Jesus Calms the Storm 35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it... Continue Reading →
In the past month, I travelled to three countries as part of my sabbatical away from work. Through my travels, and time spent in the Word of God, God dropped a few thoughts in my heart which I will try my best to share in the next few blog posts coming up/to be posted. Joshua... Continue Reading →

I came across this Bible verse earlier on in the week and it literally blew my mind. So, you're telling me that God encourages us to... Continue Reading →

Inspired by John 14 The cool evening breeze lifted the leaves of an old oak tree as Jesus and his disciples sat under the shade and comfort; taking refuge from the day’s woes and hustle and bustle. The air hung with anticipation and was weighed down with the thickness of the words that the Saviour... Continue Reading →
Feeling a bit nostalgic today so I decided to post a short poem. It’s been a while but I’ll try to channel my inner poetess… The night draws nigh,You call to me with an anxious expression, I wait with bated breath for your words You’d suffered long enough, Waiting for acceptance from a world which was never...

Lately I’ve been listening to a few sermons, and they’ve been making me think; primarily about purpose but most importantly, about passion. I’ve been questioning myself and wondering why as a person there are very few things that I‘m passionate about, and why very few things move me; and if I’m honest with you, it scares...
