In a way that is reminiscent of my very first post on here, this is not what I had planned! If you visit a website that is still being designed, and there is a placeholder on the internet as it were until it is finished, you will see a message that says, “under construction” orContinue reading “Heart Work”

In the last few weeks, I have had a bit of a battle going on in my home.  It has caused internet research, the trying out of different strategies and rearranging of the household in various ways.  What have I been battling with?  I’m not even sure what they are called.  They are those little,Continue reading “Stay alert!”

Imagine you pick up your post from the doormat one day and there is a letter in a beautiful, expensive-looking, high-quality envelope.  When you open it, it is an invitation to dine with royalty, in beautifully crafted, exquisite writing; the kind that makes you want to keep the invitation long after the event.  What doContinue reading “At His Table”

Last week I ended with a prayer for God to keep my heart teachable.  I have been thinking about that more.  In the process, I have become aware that I categorise people in my life.  I rank them subconsciously in terms of those whose opinions I value, those I give permission to speak into myContinue reading “Sitting at His feet”

A few weeks ago, I had an encounter before the throne of God which impacted me deeply (as a side note, I can’t imagine a scenario where a genuine encounter with God wouldn’t have a significant effect!).  A bit like Isaiah in chapter 6, I was reminded of the awesomeness of the pure, holy GodContinue reading “Resisting rebellion”

When I was learning to drive at night, I had to learn not to look into the light of the oncoming cars as I discovered that it made me veer towards them.  Fortunately, I learned this quick enough to avoid catastrophe, but I had to consciously choose to look elsewhere for many years until itContinue reading “Fix your gaze”

After having spent an hour or so battling with distraction, sleepiness and other things that interrupted my devotional time, I decided to go out somewhere different for a walk.  It’s good to be adventurous!  The discipline of devotional time is good but my relationship with Jesus does not have to look predictably the same everyContinue reading “New Paths”

I can think I’ve broken through to freedom in a certain area of life, only for it to come round again in a different scenario or for God to bring more revelation that takes me deeper.  Does that happen to you?  It happened to me this week. As part of my healing from the pastContinue reading “Ties that Bind”

This is not what I planned.  I had spent time looking at a completely different topic but at the last minute I felt I was to look at receiving.  This is an area that God has been working on for some time in me, but I’m definitely still on the journey. I have been quiteContinue reading “Life in its fullness”

For as long as I can remember I have loved going out for walks in the beauty of the amazing creation that surrounds me. Not the kind of walk that ticks off a target, just a meandering, appreciative walk that feeds my soul. I love rivers and lakes, trees and flowers, birds and (some) insects,Continue reading “Making space to …”
