It happened just as I was waking up. An audible voice inside my head clearly said, “Follow the last instruction”. I wasn’t quite fully awake, and I wondered if I was still dreaming, still dozing as I listened to the still, small voice. Follow the last instruction? What did that mean? It made absolutely no …

Devotional: The Expectation of Success
One of the most beneficial things a writer can do is attend a conference. These events provide novices and published authors with networking opportunities, social events, and instruction for learning skills needed to navigate the business side of writing. After attending a couple of conferences and finishing my first novel, I was encouraged to request …
DEVOTIONAL | Just, Jesus.
Have you ever found yourself lost for words? Thoughts bubble up inside your mind and around your heart, yet you can’t get the words to come out. They are stuck; deeply felt but unspoken. I found myself in this state during worship at church over the weekend. There was so much running through my mind. …
I Have Had A Dream: Time to Step Out Of The Winepress
It’s no good pretending. I see you. Yes you, acting like you don’t know what I’m talking about because you have stuffed that dream of yours so far down your to-do list you’ve forgotten what it looks like. You believe you’ve screwed up way too many times in the past to ever be used by …

In May 2019 a friend invited me on an all-expenses paid Par Avion day out. After I read her message I thanked her and then researched the day trip to Melaleuca, as I did I got excited and cried happy tears. Leading up to the day my excitement grew and grew. Then the day before …

DEVOTIONAL: Dwelling in the shelter of the Most High
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will …

Devotional | Sleeping In The Wilderness
Devotional by Karen Rees “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?” Matthew 6:25 Imagine that your stomach is full, it’s bedtime, and you’ve just …
Devotional | Excess Baggage
Hebrews 12 verse 1 (NIV). Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perserverance the race marked out for us. Recently I had the wonderful treat of flying to Queenstown. On the …
DEVOTIONAL: Run to the Father
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need – Hebrews 4:16 Like most people, I have many flaws and faults. I’ve said and done things that have left me questioning my own sanity. I’ve unintentionally hurt …
DEVOTIONAL – Where does my help come from?
It appears to be a given that every writer wrestles with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and a sense of inadequacy. The blank screen dares us to be outstanding, while our half-formed notions mill about chaotically to the point where even housework looks like an inviting alternative. Been there? You’re not alone. Not even this minute. 2 …
