MY PERSONAL JOURNEY AND MUSINGS
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
‘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 […]
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 […]
‘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. Today’s culture is based on ‘Comparison’, where success and status are often measured in […]
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 […]

‘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. […]
I’m doing something a little different this time. I’m going to delve into this passage in depth and write what I feel it’s speaking on, and how it’s applicable in our day to day life. Ephesians 6 10 – 20 The amour of God ‘Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. […]
‘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.

‘Here I am, God Arms wide open Pouring out my life Gracefully broken’ Song: Gracefully Broken by Tasha Cobbs Leonard This is less of a blog post and more of a brief commentary of my thoughts… The phrase ‘gracefully broken’ has been to the forefront of my mind a lot lately. I heard it first […]
‘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 […]
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” Matthew 7:6 My youngest brother has referred me to that verse on more than one occasion, in moments where the youngest becomes the eldest […]
