Women Part 1
It has taken me the most of a year to post this, and in many ways, I might only now be processing it 11 months on. Here is part 1 from my scribbled musings. I’m hoping to return to our friends in India early next year. If you’re the praying kind of reader please pray for my precious friends there. Life is hard and a life of faith is becoming more dangerous.

My ‘one thing’ for 2016 & 2017

The path home
I get lost sometimes. I isolate myself. Shut myself off. Hide. I long to shrink, to take up less space. I try to become invisible and then before I know it, it’s difficult to make my way back. The light is dim, the path hidden, my mind confused. By far the most disorientating part isContinue reading “The path home”

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.

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”
