"I know just how much I rely on my faith to guide me through the good times and the bad. Each day is a new beginning. I know the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all… Continue reading Wisdom from the Servant Queen

Daylight
The room was gloomy in the morning. Like a blanket the gloom slipped over me too. Everything felt dreary and depressing. The luminous colour of life had gone. Dullness left in its place. But then I opened the curtains and the early morning sun and light blazed in. The sunlight outside beckoning joy and life. Colour returned. I am… Continue reading Daylight
Declaration
Complications at the birth of my son led to what seemed like a parade of specialists and medical staff through my hospital room with their pronouncements of what the future would look like. Oft times even well meaning words actually just incited grief and fear. But I made the decision to stop listening. I chose to stop letting these… Continue reading Declaration

It’s… Continue reading The Wibbly Wobblies

I recently read a quote of hers - "you might have to fight a battle more than once to win it." I'm not sure as to what political context it fitted… Continue reading The Battlefield
King of My Heart
Sometimes in worship, a song can completely undo you. It's as if the quiet and secret meditations of your heart are articulated, transformed into music and song. Suddenly you find youself singing words that match your heartbeat and you feel the breath of Heaven, the touch of God upon you. The King of my Heart was just… Continue reading King of My Heart
Whose side are you leaning on?
There's a Children's Church song that's been on repeat in my head for several days now! It starts with the question "Whose side are you leaning on?" The response is "I'm leaning on the Lord's side." Good question to ask oneself! Are we leaning, dependent, trusting on the Lord? Are we leaning on the Lord's side or… Continue reading Whose side are you leaning on?
