Like a protective harbour, You are my refuge. I make my way through the narrows, Straight into your arms. Protected by the high cliffs and steep mountain sides, You cover me. A place of refreshing, repairing and mending, You make me new. Unbeknownst to the enemy, I am safe inside the walls. Come weary ones, … Continue reading The Safe Harbour

So I spent two hours writing yesterday, and my WordPress App glitched out and I lost EVERYTHING I wrote (it was a pretty solid blog post too, if I do say so myself). Yet even after I complained … Continue reading “You Can’t Stop It!”
Walking past the blossoming flowers, the scent of lavender fills my nose. A beautiful aroma, cascading my senses and reminding me of Your Grace. I need this reminder. Why?

Even though it is one of the most rewarding things in life - having the responsibility to love, guide, support and parent … Continue reading Days Gone By: Enjoying The Moments Before They Are Gone
If I had to pick a powerful image from the Second World War it would be the one above. American tank crews of four Sherman M4A2 tanks, heads bowed and hands clasped, with a Chaplin leading them in prayer in Northern France,1945. Quite an amazing image of battle hardened soldiers, crouching in the mud with … Continue reading The Power of Prayer During Wartime
I want to share this special post with you all today. I transcribed the audio from my children's prayers this morning, on their way to school in the van. I felt I had to record their prayers, as the past few days have been beautiful just listening to them pray. There is great power in … Continue reading The Prayers of Four Children for Ukraine
I awake to see the grey sky, the dark clouds covering, and the reminder of yesterday. All I can do is ask, “Why?” The emptiness inside that comes with defeat, the feeling of failure, and fear. All I can do is ask, “Why?” As tears roll down my face, and my heart yearns for change, … Continue reading Underserved Mercy
