My Stories
A Child's Perspective
I picked my four year old daughter up from childcare the other day, and as she hoped into our car, she saw a bus drive past.
“Mum, why do buses have monkey bars in them? Did Jesus put them in for big people, so they don’t forget how to play?” she asked.
Birthday Lantern
Have you had the opportunity to share God with someone recently, maybe in an unexpected or interesting way?
We live in a rural area, surrounded by beautiful bush, trees and shrubbery. A few years ago, my next-door neighbour cleared all but one tree on her block, to comply with fire safety regulations.
That same week, my young son had a surprise for my Birthday.
The Lady of Perfume
Have you ever waited for that ‘perfect’ time to start something, and that time has yet to come? Perhaps you fear the new and unknown?

Battled a fear?

“Mum! It’s a reindeer!” my son, sitting in the passenger seat excitedly piped up, scrambling to find my mobile phone to capture the moment.
An Easter Story - A Deer Prayer (Part 1 of 3)
Have you ever found yourself stuck at a crossroad?
Battled a fear?
Maybe asked God for something crazy?
Fear had found me, wrapped its arms around me and held me hostage. I knew I was at a crossroad and I needed to make a choice!
On the Right Track?
Have you ever felt lost? Maybe spiritually lost?
Perhaps you’ve questioned your value...
Do you have Joy?
“Am I on the right track?” I asked a friend a few years back. The question plagued my mind.
