Strongholds of the Mind
Never have I been so challenged by a written word. The verse from Romans 12:2 is this: ‘Do not be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world but Be transformed by a renewing of your mind, then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is….His pleasing and perfect will.” …
No Road Maps
Jeff and I were discussing God’s random unpredictability after my follow up appointment with the surgeon last week. Jeff’s take on it was travelling with no road map, hence the title. And so that conversation gave birth to this post…. If I intend to travel into unfamiliar territory, and I need help to get to …
Tapestry
Carole King’s album, TAPESTRY, from 1971 has been my all-time favourite all these years. That shows my age, I guess! The song, Tapestry, came to mind just now while doing my morning devotional from Christine Caine’s book, “Unshakable”, where she reminds me of God’s faithfulness and encourages me to think back over my life, read …
Crossing the Red Sea

Life without Limits
Another title: probability vs possibility, potential and promises Two mornings in a row, my husband sat beside me in bed with a cuppa and proceeded to write in a notebook, ideas connected to his work, that God had given him overnight. The First morning, I was a bit miffed…. why doesn’t God speak as clearly …
In The Dark
So here I am in the waiting… I have a sense the Holy Spirit is brooding over me in this darkness I find myself in. Its not a new concept. I think many have written before me on this topic of change and growth all having their beginnings in darkness. In Genesis 1:2 the Bible …
Reins vs Reigns
This post has taken a while to write. I had the main text written weeks ago but just before posting it, the title I’d chosen became my challenge in my own circumstances. My 8 month living my belief of being healed has been shattered with a sudden overgrowth of a lump in my breast and …
In Celebration of Hair
Many years ago I was given one of those head massagers…fine wires with plastic tips attached to a handle. As you push the wires down over your scalp, the apparatus spreads and cups your head, then as you move it over your scalp it massages the scalp and gives the tingles. I loved it. I’ve …
