Readers of my blog will know God has been speaking a lot about tests over the last few days - and with a clear purpose: to alert us to the testing season that we are in! Because He know if we are able to identify the tests, it makes it so much easier to respond... Continue Reading →

This morning when I started reading today's chapters in my Bible-reading plan I was only three verses in when I came across a theme that God has been repeatedly bringing to my attention this week... Deuteronomy 13:1-3“If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the... Continue Reading →

When I woke this morning there was a vivid dream lingering in my mind. Initially it seemed quite disjointed but as I wrote it down, the meaning became very clear, and I believe it was from God. In the dream I was at a Christian college on the last day of term - the last... Continue Reading →

When I came to prayer this morning I found myself pouring out to God all the things that have felt overwhelming lately - so many difficult and painful things that have been happening, both to me and to those I care about. As always He listened, and loved, and gave counsel - He is so... Continue Reading →

The other day when I was praying with some women of faith for our children, God gave me a picture of the youth in a boat being tossed around in a storm and whereas I wanted to pray (like any protective mother would) for the storm to calm and for them to be safe, God... Continue Reading →

In conversation with the Lord this morning, He led me to Psalm 34.  The whole Psalm is incredibly rich and strengthening for anyone going through a tough time.  David wrote it either in or about one of the most difficult periods of his life, in the cave of Adullam (1 Sam 22:1).  He had had...

Today's post comes under the category of what a friend of mine calls verbal processing: writing helps me to grapple with the new in the hope of getting a firmer hold on it. This one is new & underdeveloped, but still I felt right to release it, so I hope it either helps or does... Continue Reading →

I wasn't sure whether to release this today as although nothing around us seems to be changing (we're still in lockdown, fighting a pandemic), I have been feeling a season shift recently, and I'm sensing the spiritual equivalent of a new smell in the air, like when you're busy at home and catch a waft...
