Still Worthy Those that have been reading my blogs for while know that one of the ways that I connect with God is through music. Music is one of the few things that can still my mind. Worship music especially, can just centre my mind on Jesus and block everything else out. So I’m constantly …

DEVOTIONAL: Then Jesus
It was a dark and spooky night… I’m a visual person. I like to see things in front of me and I like to have little notes or signs to remind me of things. On my desk, I like to have pot-it notes and little signs to remind me of things and encourage me. One …
DEVOTIONAL: New Year, Same God
2024 has well and truly begun. It’s easy to be excited at a new year starting; there is a sense of anticipation the coming year will be better than the year before. Some of us had a great 2023 and some of us were counting down the minutes so we could farewell 2023. Some people …
DEVOTIONAL: Take refuge

DEVOTIONAL: Selfless love.
“We just want what’s best for you.” Those were the words spoken to me some years ago. On the surface, they sound caring and loving. But as I dwelt on them days later, I realised that under the surface of these words was not a desire for me to experience what is best. Under the …
DEVOTIONAL: Finding Courage to Trust God
This might not be a popular statement, but I find it hard to trust God sometimes. And I sometimes find it hard to build up the courage to do what He is asking me to do. As believers, we are to trust God and show courage in the face of hard decisions and situations. Easier …
