    Tomorrow is Jason and my fourth wedding anniversary. That may not seem like a lot to you, but we have been through a fair bit in those four years.

    Sheffield, Here We Come

    LIFE UPDATE: I’m excited to announce that we’re on the move! In May, we’ll be heading even further up north as Jason has been appointed senior pastor of Sheffield Central Elim Church.

  • I am thankful

    I am thankful

    It’s spring!! Finally!! I love this time of year, as the weather’s getting warmer, days are getting longer, flowers are beginning to bloom.

    Miracles in the Mundane; When Life is Still

    Is anyone else getting a bit fed up of the monotony of lockdown routine? Every day for me involves the same routine. Get up. Feed baby. Put her down for nap. Express. Get her up. Go for a walk, etc.… it never changes. Rain, wind, sleet or snow… But when having a chat with some…

    New Year – New Me. That’s how it goes right? Every year we make resolution after resolution, but how many of them really stick? Loose weight. Get in shape. Don’t drink so much. Read more.

    Perseverance in the Pain: My Story

    These past 6 weeks have been really tough. Probably the toughest in my life so far. I’m not saying that to be dramatic, I just want you to know where I am coming from as I write this. I also know there are so many people (some of whom may even be reading this) that…

    Bearing good fruit – a spiritual health check

    When we think about our physical health, most of us are aware of the indicators our body gives us when there is something wrong. We may experience pain in the area that needs our attention. We may start to feel run-down, tired, under-the-weather, when our immune system comes under attack. Or sometimes it can be…
