It all began a couple of weeks ago. Leaving my parents’ house one evening I glimpsed up and saw the beginnings of a sunset. I decided that on reaching home I’d take the opportunity to pause and watch it. Unfortunately by the time I arrived home the sunset had faded into dusk. A few days… Continue reading Chasing Sunsets

Unexpected
Sometimes in life you find yourself attending appointments you'd never thought you'd need to go to, sitting in waiting rooms you never knew existed, ordering books you never thought you would use. Sometimes you feel like you hopped on board a rollercoaster when you were expecting a sedate train ride. That's life. The unexpected does happen. As… Continue reading Unexpected
The Colours of Winter
If I could be permitted to generalise about Winter, I'd say it's barren. Nothing compared to Spring for sure. Trees bare of leaves, gardens bereft of colour. Or so I thought.

When we're in the dark, going through a hard time, we can be… Continue reading In the darkness – {Easter}
Walking on Water
His faith got him out of the boat. Walking towards Jesus. Jesus had called and he had responded. In the middle of a storm, on a rough and stormy sea, Peter walked on water.

3 2 1 Countdown – {Advent}
The countdown to Christmas is well underway in my household. From how many days left at school before Christmas, to how many sleeps. You name it, the boys are counting it and this is even before the Advent Calendar makes its appearance! That's part of the excitement about Christmas. The anticipation of the day to come, the expectation for… Continue reading 3 2 1 Countdown – {Advent}
