Gospel hope for the ordinary moments, mostly with Steve Green
When our son was very little, a friend gave us a CD of Steve Green’s Hide ‘Em In Your Heart series. These are boppy tunes composed to help little ones remember God’s word and hide them in their hearts. Steve’s tunes can be heard in our household on the daily – in the car, while… Continue reading

Hope Hidden – Jehoiada and Jehosheba
Lots of action can get lost in the books of Kings and Chronicles. Kings and nations being in sin. People not following God. Everything is bad. We are all waiting for Jesus. In one sense, the pining for Christ is truly palpable. After all, God had promised a Messiah, but reality did not seem to… Continue reading

Being ‘available’
Time seems constantly to be both abundant and scarce when you’re a stay at home mum. You start the day with a to-do list of a few meagre inconsequential things, and suddenly it’s 9am and you’ve changed 5 nappies, did breakfast, washed up, cleaned the floors, put away laundry, and started dinner, and it doesn’t… Continue reading

The Sound of Music is hands-down my favourite musical of all time, not least because my grandad watched it with us at least once a week when we came back from nursery, resulting in an annoying recitation of well-loved dialogue any time we watched it again as a family. Recently, my husband got us tickets… Continue reading

A re-start of sorts
An Addition. There has been a joyous addition to our family – our son who was born last year, just in to welcome spring. An addition that has pointed us heavenward for strength for each hour, he has stretched our capacity for patience, selflessness and self-discipline in ways that were much needed. A subject of… Continue reading

Small stories – Bezalel and Oholiab
featured image source: yearinthebible.com A few weeks ago I wrote about the worthiness of “stories about little things”. These little stories, little snippets that leave wide margins for awe, wonder, and imagination. Bezalel and Oholiab are the first two people with small stories that I’d like to explore. If you haven’t heard of their names… Continue reading

The comfort of insignificance
I’ve always been drawn to little and inconsequential things – stories of ordinary people, not changing the world, nor going through any dramatic transition, just letting life and all its colourful ideas (or tragic happenstance) come and pass. I adore also the stories where more ink is spilled over the leaves, the petals, the soil,… Continue reading
