MY PERSONAL JOURNEY AND MUSINGS
How do I start this one? I don’t know. Will it be more of a private journal entry? More blog-like? How deep will I go? How vulnerable do I want to be… How vulnerable can I be? Where is that fragile balance between wisdom and privacy, versus surrendering enough of myself that the power of […]
Bring your troubles to the Lord, and with strength and His righteous power, declare out loud this truth over each one: JESUS, THE VICTORY IS YOURS! Proclaim it and watch it be done on earth and in the heavenly realms: JESUS, THE VICTORY IS YOURS! Watch as the enemy and his minions flee: JESUS, THE […]
My mother is Irish, and my father is Sierra Leonean. We lived in Sierra Leone when I was young and I have strong memories of that time.Memories of our home. Playing with the other children in the compound, dancing around the parlour, being chased by my grandmother, Mama Abbie – with my baby brother on […]
Is there anything worse than untrue narratives or perceptions being created about you? Is there anything more frustrating than having to deal with lies and negativity being spread against you? Slowly. Steadily. Insidiously. It feels so unjust and can feel like you are constantly a step behind, trying to undo the damage of a spiteful […]
Lately, there is a lot of concern about the fast rising cost of living, energy, taxes, property and mortgage interest rates. The list goes on. There is very real stress and anxiety out there for people, trying to keep their families afloat. The daily news headlines and incessant discussion about it does not help, but […]

Tall like your Daddy,Those hands gave it away.Jet black hair, Asher eyesSahr Samuel, you’re our beauty. Dedicated to the Lord,He called you, as His own.‘Samuel’, He […]
I’m forever grateful for our haven, ‘Tearmann’ 🙏🏽Over 1-2 years He heard our prayers and then when the timing was right, graciously answered every single teeny tiny and notion filled request, right down to the type of shower for the en suite🚿 (Don’t even ask about the previous one). And when I say requests, I […]
Dear Little One, Let His glory shine in and through you, Let your peace be evident to all, May you forever be a Carrier of Joy, May you daily protect yourself with His armour. With mighty strength and grace, may you always stand firm for Christ. May you stand for justice and be a fierce […]
One thing I often ask God for, is wisdom. Wisdom and discernment. I pray these gifts for my family, for my daughter. One can be the most talented, gifted, intelligent person in the world, but without heavenly wisdom, that person will encounter many problems and suffer a lot as they try to navigate through life. […]
‘Oh, how I love your dancing, wondering heart A daffodil in a garden of roses, I have set you apart Vibrant and bright in colour, you brighten up the day When the clouds are thunderous, you shine joy in their way My special little treasure, a song inside my heart I love you just as […]
I have now been a mum for a grand total of 10 weeks! Cliché as it sounds, it truly is life changing. My life has changed forever. It is not the same. It is richer. But I have discovered that richness is formed with grit! This is my assessment and experience of motherhood; sprinkled, no, […]
‘But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint’ – Isaiah 40:31 This day last year, I put up Blog 33. The Blessing. Today, I want to record the verse that carried […]
See this man? This is a man who has just turned THIRTY!!!🥳 To me, this picture really showcases his loving character. Brian is always writing kind words about me and I tend to save mine for the cards. But today of all days, I’m going to shout from the rooftops about my darling and dedicate […]
‘His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor His delight in the legs of the warrior; the Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love’. – Psalm 147: 10-11 I love these verses. I first heard them on a sunny 2nd September 2017, whilst sitting […]
Have you ever felt misunderstood? We all have moments in life where we have felt misunderstood. It may be that we said something in a tone of voice or a way we didn’t mean to. It may be because someone heard something about us that was untrue or misconstrued. It can happen very easily for […]
Let’s start with a little background and an answered prayer… And then we’ll move on to the letter I want to write for my child who is currently kicking up a storm against my bladder! Part 1 When I was growing up, I loved listening to my parents whenever they were debating or discussing a […]
He sees you from the inside out, not from the outside in. “Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations. Isaiah 42:1 I am grateful that our Father in heaven truly sees us. In […]
What does the voice of God sound like? Listen to the lyrics of this song. It’s in the details. ‘Listen, listen to the texture and the toneListen, listen for the kindness, for the hopeListen, listen it’s the sound that leads you homeIt’s the voice of God Oh that still small voiceThe voice of God…’ Listen… […]
