In the queue at security in Abu Dhabi Jason got chatting as he always does to the man next to us. Turns out he’s English been living here for 3 Yrs on his way home and then on to another job oversees. In the short 5 mins we were talking he drops in the conversationContinue reading “Day 1 travelling to India”

India here I come
We leave for India first thing Wednesday morning. I’m almost packed. The laundry for all 5 of us is close to complete. Tomorrow’s to-do list is standing by. Passports. Visas. Money & cards. Insect repellent. Innoculations. Talks almost there. And then this morning I realised that I had omitted a very important detail – weContinue reading “India here I come”
I love how our lives and loves are intertwined
“I love how our lives and loves are intertwined”. I wrote those words in a text to a close friend a couple of weeks ago. They’ve stuck with me. They describe February. In February I have watched and observed how the people that I’m joined to have cared and loved each other and extended that toContinue reading “I love how our lives and loves are intertwined”
My ‘one thing’ for 2013
My husband did a great talk at the start of January which in a nutshell challenged us to choose a ‘one thing’ to spend our lives on this year. I loved the text from Nehemiah 6:3 “I’m doing a great work, I can’t come down” I was very challenged to determine what my ‘one thing’Continue reading “My ‘one thing’ for 2013”
this sheep hears her Shepherd
I believe that God still chooses to speak to us today. I just want to put that out there. God speaks to us today through His Holy Spirit. God speaks from the inside of us in whispers, shouts, pictures, impressions, feelings, dreams, visions, sensations, smells, tastes, words, and more. Each as individual as the personContinue reading “this sheep hears her Shepherd”
why write?
This blog was born because I wanted to be a more disciplined and frequent writer. The jury’s still out on how I’m doing so far. I find myself making excuses. Just how disciplined is disciplined? And how do you define frequent? More excuses abound, I have written 2 talks in the past 3 weeks soContinue reading “why write?”
intentions pt II
There’s a flip side to intention. We all know it, feel it, fall into it, fall foul of it. This intention that I speak of is the intent of the heart behind a word, an action, a comment, a deliberate act. I’m pretty sure you have at least once been offended by something orContinue reading “intentions pt II”
intention
It feels to me like I’ve heard myself say the words intention, intentional and intentionality a lot lately. Being intentional is not just making wise decisions in the moment it’s choosing the wise path in advance. Intentionality is plotting the direction of your life, as opposed to the ‘on the spot’ wise decisions that keepContinue reading “intention”
September…
September. Routine. School uniforms. Timetables. Homeworks. Packed lunches. Being organised. N.I.G.H.T.M.A.R.E. This September has crept up on me a bit like Christmas normally does. I felt pretty sure we had another week to go before the dreaded month. Like everyone else I was still patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for the sunshine and hadContinue reading “September…”
Wisdom shouts!
Wisdom is truth distilled. She is grace amplified. Intelligence aptly applied. Wisdom is balm to the turmoiled. She is desired by the already wise. Knowledge on target. Wisdom should not be whispered She yearns to be reverberrated, Her reach as far as the clear air carries. Michelle Scott
