If you've been following my posts you'll know that all this week when I have come to prayer I have seen the same picture that has not left me. At first it was so brief and simple I almost overlooked it, but it keeps coming back to me every time I pray: a row of... Continue Reading →

I freely admit, I am not naturally a patient person. Waiting does not come easily to me: I would much rather be active, making progress - especially when it comes to reaching people with the ministry of Jesus. But I don't believe in compulsion or doing things for the sake of being busy either -... Continue Reading →

This morning when I came to prayer I immediately saw a picture I have received before: a long line of us, side-by-side along the seashore, all standing still and looking expectantly out to sea. There was a sense of resolute waiting - that we had been waiting for a while but still refusing to look... Continue Reading →

Early yesterday morning, God woke me up to read Psalm 133. As I read it I realised it was the same scripture my husband had also referred to when I shared this week's other words with him. Psalm 133 is a 'song of ascents' (ie a song that takes us higher, or closer to God)...... Continue Reading →

This morning in prayer God showed me a series of pictures, and as I prayed into each part it was like a changing vision, a scene unfolding before me.I was asking Him to show me HIS vision for Church. As a church leader, I'm very aware that as most leaders agree, this last season has... Continue Reading →

This morning I was talking to God about a group of godly women who I have recently met, and thanking Him for the encouragement He has already given through them. And as I prayed, I felt Him express not only His joy at blessing His daughters, but also some of His purpose behind this connection...... Continue Reading →

It's no secret that this season has been a struggle. And particularly in this past week I have needed daily reminders to encourage myself, build myself up, hold on to hope, yesterday ending with an exhortation to put down deeper roots to drink of God. Every day I have received that encouragement and agreed with... Continue Reading →
