About five years ago God started speaking to my husband and me about taking our family and leaving the town in Hertfordshire where we had lived for the best part of fifteen years. We readily agreed, but with one question: where are we going? However God didn't immediately show us where - it wasn't until... Continue Reading →

This morning I woke before my alarm went off. I didn't feel God was asking me to get up yet so I went back to sleep, and had a dream before my alarm did go off to wake me up again (which in itself is significant). There was a weight on the dream that I... Continue Reading →

For a while now God has been repeatedly drawing me back to the theme of 'the Spirit and the Word'. Especially when I read the Bible, He has been regularly highlighting the many repeated mentions of the same concept in different words: Law and the Prophets; Moses and Elijah; Logos and Rhema; Teaching and Preaching;...

One of the lovely things about blogging is being able to go back through preceeding posts and track how God's Word has been growing and developing. This morning God was speaking to me about things that on their own seem pretty basic and obvious, but when read in the context of everything else He has... Continue Reading →

I've been feeling a heaviness lately. I've tried ignoring it, repenting of it, standing against it, claiming joy etc... but it keeps appearing.

As I came to prayer this morning I didn't have much of an idea of what to pray for, and with yesterday's words still ringing in my ears, to trust every single step to God, I asked Him what He wanted me to pray for.To the best of my ability, this is the what I... Continue Reading →

This morning I was praying through a situation beyond my control, just pouring out my heart to God and asking Him to somehow help. I can't see the answer, and although it affects me, I could not see a single thing I could do that would make a difference. As I prayed, God's presence graciously... Continue Reading →

This is such a funny season! One minute I can be engrossed in God's presence, thrilled about what He is saying and doing, and the next minute I can be up to my neck in the flesh, reacting to the very human struggles and challenges of lock-down. It feels like I'm swinging between two contradictory... Continue Reading →

This title is such an obvious one I almost hesitated to write it, thinking people might overlook it in its naivety. But I do believe it could be the entire point of this season... We are all familiar with 2 Chr 7:14 - "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray... Continue Reading →

After the last two posts on 7th & 8th April, God called me to a couple of days of 'prayer retreat', over Passover and Good Friday. Obviously I had nowhere to go geographically, as we are still in lockdown, but I intensified my fasting and spent a lot of time alone in my bedroom with... Continue Reading →
