Having already postponed the full wedding celebrations, due to the coronavirus pandemic, we still wanted to get married, no matter what format that had to take. The plan was for dad to […]
Dear Friend, I don’t know you and I don’t know your situation. All I know is that you have a family member who is compassionate and caring and wants you to feel encouraged. They reached out for a quote/word for you. I have to admit, I felt both honoured and a little bit unsure if […]
‘I call on You, my God, for You will answer me; turn Your ear to me and hear my prayer.’ Psalm 17:6 Some raw thoughts… When you speak to your Heavenly Father, speak in earnest. Pray with conviction. Even if it is a cry for help or a cry of helplessness. Cry it with conviction. […]
‘The name of Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe’. The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale’ Proverbs 18:10-11 These contrasting verses are powerful.

‘Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those […]

Myself and my fiancé have recently been reading through the book of Daniel. Daniel is most known for the time God rescued him from the lion’s den. But that was just one incredible event where God moved in his life, amongst many others. Due to his absolute commitment and faith in action where his relationship […]
The concept of the fragrance of Christ has come back to me time and time again over the last little while. It is a strikingly beautiful conceptualization. A fragrance is a sweet, pleasant aroma. It radiates from the subject like a delicate aura. Whoever approaches the subject, gradually experiences more of this pleasing essence. ‘Follow […]
‘She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

‘Sarayu spoke. “Mackenzie, you cannot produce trust just like you cannot ‘do’ humility. It either is or is not. Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved. Because you do not know that I love you, you cannot trust me.”‘ The Shack – William P. Young Let that sink […]
