Devotions

Hello, In England at the seaside you can buy something called ‘rock’ a brittle sugar tube and at the centre throughout the whole stick are embedded words, usually the name of the seaside town. If I were a stick of rock the words embedded throughout my being would be “Foundations’ Its my greatest passion. I’m drawn…

Hello, We live in a world bombarded by voices telling us who we are and how we should live. Discovering our identity and purpose can be difficult, yet as Christians we come to Jesus. He shows us who we truly are as He created us to be. His truth defines us, sustains us and gives…

I love the advent season as we prepare for Christmas but I find it harder to keep Jesus as my focus, to be still, reflect and enter into the journey fully with God. Preparations, people and parties which I really enjoy can rob the time and I arrive at Christmas tired and more significantly missing…

As I settled into the flight to Nairobi, I sensed the inner conviction that Jesus wanted to speak to me about what it means to become a child of God. Reading from The Passion Translation, I began to read John chapter 1. I quickly wrote in my journal as God showed me these things. I…

5.55am. Waking, I heard the rain hitting the window, my first thought on my decision to start back swimming today after weeks off with the flu virus and Christmas celebrations.

Whatever you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do it,…

Hello, As I enter into a New Year, this is my prayer. May you know you are secure, wrapped around in God’s light, love and peace as you walk each day throughout 2017. What hopes and dreams are stored in your heart? Listen to the still smallVoice within. What do you hear. 2017 will be a…

Hello, There are some moments in our lives we don’t have to remember because the experience was so powerful it is written on our hearts. Memories like this draw us instantly back into the moment even years later. A few days ago I talked about my journey with creativity and a particular moment in a counselling retreat…

Hello, For me the greatest privilege of knowing God is that He entrusts me – and you – to carry His heart! Its also a profound journey of encounter and transformation as I experience Him, his compassion and kindness and surrender myself that he might mould me in His Image! I’m deeply humbled to be…

Hello, today we explore hope in confusion and brokenness. The image is a painting I did as my meditation on Isaiah 35, hope for restoration, crocus bursting into bloom, deserts bursting forth with life from safety in Father’s hands. Meditating on scripture creatively allows us to journey with Jesus as living word to a deeper heart…
