This might shock some of you but I think that Jesus loves International Women’s Day. I imagine that he sees the sea change,this moment where the tide is beginning to turn, as a breaking in of His Kingdom here on earth. 2000+ years ago this revolution of valuing women was pioneered by Jesus. Everywhere HeContinue reading “The gospel for International Women’s Day”

Ash Valentine Wednesday
I overheard a conversation in our tea room about how inconvenient it was that Ash Wednesday fell on Valentines day this year, it made me chuckle. Often God intersects my life at the most inconvenient times. Like inviting us to plant a church when we had 3,4 &5 year old sons.
Bullet Blog for friday
It’s January everyone is eating healthy, joining diet clubs and gyms. Not me. I’m embracing Hygge; comfort and simplicity to see me through the dark, grey, and cold days of January.
This week I’m …
STRONGER parenting
This is a transcript of my talk from church yesterday at Vineyard Church Dungannon. Not my usual blog style, written to be spoken rather than read. STRONGER Parenting Sunday 1 October 2017 This morning I want to talk about parenting, now for those of you who have children who are growing up and are nowContinue reading “STRONGER parenting”
What’s stirring in your heart today?
What’s stirring in my heart today? Sometimes it’s as if my heart is at the periphery of myself rather than at the centre. Stuff, things, demands, expectations, commitments – my ‘doings’ push it out and it’s as if I need to listen to my heart from the edge of me. It’s muffled, unclear and IContinue reading “What’s stirring in your heart today? “
Watch this space
January is just gone and I’ve already slipped into the bad habit of busy. Something broken inside of me feels the need to fill the open spaces of my life with more appointments, tasks and responsibilities. The margin that I was forced to recapture last year is very quickly being swallowed up again. This morningContinue reading “Watch this space “
My ‘one thing’ for 2016 & 2017
New Year’s Eve has to be one of the most reflective days of the year. I find it melancholic, although since I tend towards melancholy it sits with me just fine. I’ve found myself in a reflective pose for the past 2 months. Reflecting on this time last year, on how difficult that season wasContinue reading “My ‘one thing’ for 2016 & 2017”
Wisdomeats : Bear’s smoothie
The Hassan’s have inherited a sweet tooth through the generations. My Dad has one, I definitely have one and my Matty continues in the line of sugar and all things sweet lovers. I actually feel guilty about this. Every time I challenge the amount of sugary stuff he’s consuming I’d see the mirror reflecting backContinue reading “Wisdomeats : Bear’s smoothie “
WisdomEats : simple quick pasta
This is a quick meal. I mean really quick. Most nights no matter how fast I try to prep and cook dinner it takes at least an hour to arrive at the table. Especially if it involves potatoes! Not this one. This is ready in the time it takes the water to boil and theContinue reading “WisdomEats : simple quick pasta “
Wisdom Eats: Coconut cinnamon pumpkin seed granola
Jason and I have been trying to eat more healthily (not including France!?!) and my friend Janice recommended a great blog called The Little Green Spoon. I wouldn’t say we’re totally doing the whole ‘clean eating’ thing but we are trying to eat more fruit, vegetables, whole grains, cut down on sugar and processed foods. I’dContinue reading “Wisdom Eats: Coconut cinnamon pumpkin seed granola “
