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 […]

54. Want Financial Freedom? Look Up.
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.

51. Praise Report
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 […]
50. Fragments of Glory, Through the Impossible
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 […]
48.How to Have Heavenly Wisdom
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. […]

39. KNOWN. LOVED. From the Inside Out.
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 […]
38. Listen! Listen… Do You Hear It?
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… […]

35. Blessings Poured Out Like the Widow’s Oil
I love the short story in 2 Kings about the widow who was in debt, and faced with having to give her sons over as slaves to her creditors. In her desperation, her faith shone through and she was rewarded with such an outpouring of God’s grace and mercy. He blessed her faith and used […]
32. Just Rest; He Will Fight For You
‘The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still’ Exodus 14:14 This is a verse that I have leaned on at various times in my life. It is one that God has led me to when I needed to be reminded of it. Either someone has directly referred me to it (shout […]

‘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 […]
