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 […]
‘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 […]
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… […]
‘The poor and needy search for water,but there is none;their tongues are parched with thirst.But I the Lord will answer them;I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.I will make rivers flow on barren heights,and springs within the valleys.I will turn the desert into pools of water,and the parched ground into springs.I will put […]
‘But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit. Never set the law above these qualities, for they are […]
‘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 […]
An interview I did on Spirit Radio Ireland: https://www.spiritradio.ie/podcast/fri-3-apr-abbie-alcorn/ What. A. Whirlwind. Wedding update: WE’RE MARRIED!!! So what happened was… 25th April was the plan for our legal marriage to take place. Having already postponed the full wedding celebrations, due to the coronavirus pandemic, we still wanted to get married, no matter what format that […]
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. […]
Today as I was reading faith declarations, the Lord commanded me, in that gentle, compassionate way He does, ‘You shall go out in joy, and be led forth in peace…’ Immediately the song ‘You shall go out with joy’, came to mind. But I wanted to find the exact scripture it originates from, and see […]
Wow. When the enemy is intent on attacking, he really knows how to kick you when you are down. He is relentless. But, he will not succeed. Do not allow him to gain any foothold in your life. You are not his. You are a child of God. Declare it. YOU ARE A CHILD OF […]
1.Be joyful in all things. Seek joy from little things throughout your day. Notice them and be grateful. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 2. Read the Bible […]
Click on the following link for Part 3: 16. Never, Never, Never Give Up (Wise Words, Winston) Pt. 3 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us – whatever we ask – we know that […]
‘Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him’ – James 1:12 I have been thinking about perseverance lately – it is a characteristic that by its very nature is difficult to attain. […]
‘You have searched me, Lord, and You know me….You are familiar with all my ways’ Psalm 139: 1, 3 This week I received another love letter from my heavenly Father. A wonderful, fun, generous woman of God who I met in recent times, writes poetry God puts on her heart. She is anointed! God sent […]
There is power in the name of Jesus To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain. Break Every Chain – Tasha Cobbs As Christians we know that there is constant spiritual warfare in play. And my own personal experience has been that the stronger my fellowship with God, the more in tune I […]
‘Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.’ Matthew 10: 29-31 When I was about 9 or 10 years […]
‘For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also’ Matthew 6:21 It’s the first day, of a new year. I have never been one for new year’s resolutions. I’m more of a ‘grow as you go’ sort of person. Constant renewal and the consistent grind stands the test of time more successfully, I […]
