Every now and again, I’ll encounter a complete stranger who will totally challenge my faith and all I claim to believe in. On this occasion, it was a mum on the internet who had to bury her 2 month old… There’s a scripture that often sends shivers down my spine; “If you faint in the … Continue reading Never in control
Green lights
The dating scene is currently looking more like an escape room, everyone fighting to secure their person without losing themselves. Absolutely terrifying to witness. Wanted to remind my single readers that the believers lot is far from this reality, and you must believe it before you experience it, we can’t camp our tent in ideologies … Continue reading Green lights
Naked satisfaction
My bible reading today focused on rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep.

Deny or Disconnect?
All day I heard my mum comment on how cold my babies nursery was, despite the temperature set slightly higher than recommended.

Pictures for Jesus
We will always think of the cross and be in utter dismay. Very little stories make so little, and so much sense all at the same time. It’s like “Wow! But Huh???” Perfect God loved imperfect us so much that His premium son will be offered in exchange for very sinful children. I’ve never really … Continue reading Pictures for Jesus
Musings on “young love”
My husband and I were listening to an old MI song today and while MI was rapping, he said “loving you girl since I was 22”. I made a random joke, singing same line to Nelson; “loving you boy since I was 19” and Nelson said “gosh, you were really so young”. We’re in such … Continue reading Musings on “young love”
