“Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28 It was a sunny winter’s day for the first day of the term two holidays, and one thing I know as a Melburnian, you don’t waste a minute of it, so I went for a walk. I …

Devotional | Two Truths, A Devotion
On the 28th of May 2025 I had a dream where I was talking to a lady I don’t know and I declared: “I’ve been given a promise that God can use my pain (past, present and future) to heal people.” I awoke at 4:35am to document my dream and I felt that it was …
Devotional | Resting In God
It’s five in the morning and I’m sitting at my study desk. I’ve woken early and decided not to waste my time lying in bed, despite the temptation of snuggling under a warm doona for another hour until my alarm plays the melody that signals the beginning of my generally frenetic morning routine. Despite my …

Devotion | Being Brave
When I think of the Apostle Paul, I picture a fearless man. Bold and unapologetic. No, trouble being brave. He was stoned, imprisoned, beaten, chased out of town, set on by mobs, hated by so many, and shipwrecked. Still, he kept on preaching. Such bravery! Me? I’m not so brave. I prefer to write because …
Devotion | LOVE LETTER TO A SLOW LEARNER – PART ONE
There is a relationship between slowing down and finding peace. God has been speaking to me about it for years – yes, years … because the truth is, I have been a very slow learner. What a bonus that He is a patient God! The enforced slowdown courtesy of the pandemic in 2020 should have …

Devotion | Faith and Learning go Hand in Hand
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 I was seventeen, and a young Christian when the church I was attending had a messy split. At that time, the rest of my family weren’t worshiping anywhere, so I changed churches. I was young in my faith, and I remember feeling confused and …

DEVOTIONAL: He Delights in You
The other day as I was sitting at the kitchen counter, my little one starting dancing around the house. At 2.5 years old, she’s bursting with energy and doesn’t need music to break out her little dance moves. And every time she does, it just makes my heart smile. No matter what day I am …
Somebody to Him
Have you ever felt off, but you didn’t know why? That happened to me last year. I was definitely in a slump. I didn’t want to read novels, and I’ve loved reading since I was a little girl. I didn’t want to talk to my family, and my phone bill says I average over an …
Devotional: Transformations from Darkness to Light
When darkness hangs like rain clouds overhead, believing in future sunny days isn’t easy. Through the example of a weather pattern, God taught me about His power to bring me from darkness to light. On a bleak December morning, I had resigned myself to indoor activities despite my desire to take a walk for a …
