Do you like me? I want you too. In fact if it turns out that you don’t I will try and persuade you to change your mind. I remember the first teacher who obviously really didn’t like me. I couldn’t get my head around it. I’d been brought up to be a ‘good’Continue reading “our own scared scared : Michelle”

our own sacred scared
There has been a series of blog posts by guest bloggers and writers on momastery if you haven’t read it I highly recommend you do. I was especially inspired by 2 of my favourite writers and bloggers Shauna Niequist and Sarah Bessey, so inspired that when I shared their posts I laid down a challenge onContinue reading “our own sacred scared”
Words matter
Words matter. There are several themes emerging in my blog and this is one of them. My words matter. How I use my words matters most. A time to speak and be silent. A time to fight and a time to retreat. A time to defend. A time to retract. A time to soothe. AContinue reading “Words matter”
In the tent : shush now
Father help me to relenquish the right to have an opinion about everything… Sometimes I just need to stay silent. Often I just need to stay silent. I’m an ungracious auto correct and just as annoying as the one on my laptop. This year is almost over and I’m still trying to work on myContinue reading “In the tent : shush now”

In the tent: I need you
Father I’m in an agitated mood. I feel irritated and annoyed under the surface. I wouldn’t call it frustration. I’m not depressed. But I’m not at peace. I’m not at rest in my soul. I need you Jesus. Come and still me. But what if part of this is you stirring the waters? What ifContinue reading “In the tent: I need you”
What if we showed the path to freedom to a life lived to the full…
My work involves many things; meetings, managing, strategising, listening, praying, advising, problem solving, budgeting, learning, studying, caring, decision making, envisioning and maybe more but I have condensed them into 3 things that I feel God has called me to at the moment; leading, writing and speaking. So instead of saying yes to everything I’m learningContinue reading “What if we showed the path to freedom to a life lived to the full…”
Today I cast a stone
Tues August 6th This morning I had a pain-free pee. Yep you read correctly. A pain-free pee. I’ve had a Urinary Tract Infection since last thursday but like the crazy stubborn woman that I am, I refused to go to the doctor until Monday morning when I could suffer no more. Part of my reluctance,Continue reading “Today I cast a stone”
Do you see this woman?
Shame followed her, clung to her like an odour that seeped into her very bones. She knew she was known as a ‘sinner’ everyone knew what she did, but no one knew what she carried, no one knew of the cancer in her soul eating away at the life that remained. She heard that HeContinue reading “Do you see this woman?”
The stress of tea, coffee and a few buns.
Now in my forties I’d hoped that my insecurities would have dissipated. Yeah, right. A few weeks ago I thought that id like to host an afternoon tea party, I planned the menu, but froze at the thought of a guest list. I tried a few times to make one but the more I thoughtContinue reading “The stress of tea, coffee and a few buns.”
