We Weren’t Made for This!

Something was wrong and I couldn’t work out why. I was washing my hair and yet the shampoo was not lathering up…I know, I can hear you laughing, such a dreadful situation. In all seriousness, this was my favourite shampoo, and it was no longer working as it should. Why would that be? I looked […]

This is the way to times of refreshing

My attitude was as cold as a winter morning in Northern Alaska.  The conversation with my husband did not go as I planned. I was feeling ignored and hurt, and the more I focused on those feelings, the more my frustrations took hold of my heart.  How quickly I had forgotten the peace of my […]

How To Love While Letting Go

The story of the prodigal son, from Luke 15, has been on my heart lately; not because I have a child who has run away, but simply because I have a child who is growing up. I know that sounds so silly, almost insignificant, because that’s what children do — they grow up. In fact, […]

The Lure of Happiness

I read an Instagram post today that said, “Do whatever makes you happiest”. My first thought was, well that’s a nice sentiment, but then I thought, actually how sad it really is.
