Panic. Sheer panic! The front door closed behind me and I realised my keys to the car and house, my wallet, my phone were inside. I was left outside the house, holding my 12 month old needing to get to school to pick up my newly at school son and I was seriously almost out… Continue reading It takes a Village

Except
God uses, God works with, God blesses what we have, not what we don’t have. What we have is enough for God. Moses had a stick, a widow had a handful of flour and a boy had a lunch. The stick became the Rod of God – turned into a serpant, made water come out of a rock. The… Continue reading Except
My banner will be clear
Martyred for his faith in 1980, a young African Pastor had written the below. He was forced by Rwandan rebels to either renounce Christ or face death. He refused to renounce Christ, and he was killed on the spot. This was found in his belongings. “I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy… Continue reading My banner will be clear

Not all Superheroes wear capes

All the Superheroes have some amazing… Continue reading Not all Superheroes wear capes
A Legacy of Love
This Mother’s Day I celebrate it with my 7 year old, 5 year old and 3 year old. I've moved on from those first rungs of the motherhood ladder when days were filled with night feeds, nappy changes and cuddles to being the soccer mum and knowing where all the best playgrounds are. I still get the cuddles though! Motherhood doesn’t… Continue reading A Legacy of Love
You’re doing a grand job!
I have a card stuck in my journal. My sister gave it to me a couple of years ago, when we were both with little babies, and toddlers, oh and school age kids too! The card said "We're in the trenches, but chin up, you're doing a grand job!" It gave me hope, encouragement and a… Continue reading You’re doing a grand job!
