Over the next few weeks I’m going to keep writing around the topic of faith, believing and receiving from God but also the things that hinder that. God showed me about a year ago that unbelief was a problem for me but if I’m honest I didn’t exactly understand what it was, as it is …
Choosing Hope
Hello all! Sorry it’s been so long, I’m planning to try to write on here a bit more and do one shorter post a week. Putting my goal here publicly will hopefully help me stick to it! This week I have been wrestling with what it means to really hope. Hope being not just the …
A few strategies to survive and thrive in isolation
COVID-19 has caused extreme disruption to most of us, however my life hasn’t really changed. Since developing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in May 2016 I have spent the majority of that time in isolation at home, with limited social contact and doubts about my future.

When we experience a personal season of winter in our lives, the frozen and apparently barren landscape we find ourselves in leaves us hoping the relief of spring will come quickly. The repetition of the seasons surely teaches …
Consider it pure joy…
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Mini Review: She Is Free
