As a child I was always up for adventure. My reading choices often involved the exploits of the hero defeating the bad guys with great courage, daring and a band of unlikely underdog heroes! In my latest season with God, I am trying to remember to frame it as adventure because life with Jesus ISContinue reading “Staying Flexible”

I went for a walk last week and was enjoying the sounds and colours, the signs of life. I love spring. I was musing with God that actually I love all the seasons, for different reasons. The budding of spring life, daffodils, the returning birds and the lambs; the long summer days, ice cream, theContinue reading “Enjoying the Season!”

When I was younger, I loved the cautionary tales of Hilaire Belloc, partly because I grew up with my dad quoting “Matilda told such dreadful lies, it made one gasp and stretch ones eyes” and other classic lines. (For the uninitiated, they are free on http://www.gutenberg.org!) This week, what I want to share is aContinue reading “A Cautionary Tale”

Have you ever had that moment where you pull at what you think is a loose thread on a piece of clothing and then you realise it is still attached and it starts to unravel? I had an experience a bit like that this week … only not with clothing! Someone questioned a quote IContinue reading “Unravelling”

You will probably know this verse from Acts 1:8 well: But you will receive power when the spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. I have been thinking about the word “witness” and what it means. AtContinue reading “Show and tell”

As a child, I used to sometimes, reluctantly, accompany Mum, relatively new in her faith, to the villageContinue reading “Freedom!”

Earlier this week, I was writing out a prophetic word and I was struggling because I felt that what I had heard from God sounded a bit extreme. He had started me off with the phrase “naked truth” and as he started to unpack what he wanted me to say, it felt uncomfortably stern. ThenContinue reading “The Real Deal”

A few weeks ago, someone close to me made a comment that has sent me on quite a journey with God. In a passing remark, he said, “I think you are quite ambitious”. At the time, I did not think anything much of it and I guess I dismissed it, but then weeks later, HolyContinue reading “The Only Way is Down!”

For years I have believed something completely erroneous it seems! Last week I had a break from work and went exploring in the highlands of Scotland. Earlier in the year God spoke to me about going further North, and then I heard the phrase “true north” which resonated in my spirit. So, I decided toContinue reading “Recalibrating”
