The Bridge, the Caterpillar and the Suitcase

I've also had a recurring dream of being about to leave on a trip and desperately trying to pack at the last minute. The suitcase is out on the bed, but I am always struggling to decide what to put in it, and time is fast running out. There is a personal application which I recognize, but it also feels like a more general call to us as a community to get prepared. This was reinforced when we spent time with God processing what I had seen; Father reminded us of the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matthew 25), and the importance of being ready.

The Pruning of the Lord

On this particular morning, I woke with the song ‘Hallelujah, Our God Reigns’ and it stayed with me as I began the day. I looked out into the back garden and my attention was caught by the framework of a yellow clematis. I had pruned it heavily before our trip as we had

Out of the Blue - Part 2

Analogies are great but obviously don't work for everyone, even in similar situations. The tsunami picture was something I couldn't have initially articulated as I was too busy drowning! When you are busy using all your energy for survival, reflection doesn't come easily. I had the picture some years later when praying for a young lady whose Dad had suddenly passed away. I am not sure how much it helped her but it has helped me for years.

Out of the Blue - Part 1

It had been a beautiful day and I was walking along a beach, along the water's edge. There weren't many people there as it was late afternoon and people had abandoned the sand for fish and chips dinners.

It hit me.

Time makes all the difference

There have been so many times in my life where spending any length of time in God’s presence has had a huge impact on my life. Whether it be at the end of a very busy and hectic day, spending some time getting direction and clarification or even just to hear His soothing voice of love and encouragement.

Ever since my teenage years, I have always longed to spend time with Him in a quiet place to hear what He has got to say to me. Over the years this has taken different forms and involved different aspects of what I do. But the essence of seeking Him is still the same. I long to hear His voice and be with Him.

Under the Blanket

A couple of weeks ago marked a momentous occasion in our household. A ‘coming of age moment’ you might say. My little girl and I watched Cinderella (the original Walt Disney version) for the very first time. Well, it was her first viewing, I obviously watched it hundreds of times in my childhood, and I think my sister and I probably wore the VHS thin throughout the mid-’90s.

A Weird Season

We talk a lot about seasons. If you live in the UK, it’s one of our favourite topics of conversation: “Isn’t the weather unusual for this time of year?”, “I wonder if we’ll get our April showers in June again?”, and the classic “It’s raining, it must be the school holidays!”.

Insights on Lockdown

During these last few weeks of lockdown, we have been discovering some new things.

Along with many other Christians who are at home unable to go out to work, we have had more time and opportunity to read the Bible, pray, and worship together. During this time our love for Jesus has been reignited as we have uncovered more of God's truth that has always been there, but we have not appreciated before.

Fostering and Adoption Month

Paul (MacD) caught it - the story of the Old Testament is relevant to us. At the end he said it - Father God wants a connection with each of us. It is a story, and we are part of it.

Dig Deeper - A Book Review

Reading the Bible was something I knew I should do. A good habit I needed to get into. I have made countless resolutions to read my Bible more! I knew it was something I should treasure.
