  • You were made to soar.

    You were made to soar.

    It is in these unprecedented times of uncertainty that I believe God is teaching us to soar.  To catch the thermals of His Spirit and rest upon the winds that will take us to the highest heights in Him.  To the place where we are one with Him. Attuned to His every utterance. Captivated by […]

  • Hold my hand.

    In the past three months I have journeyed through a valley, yet I find myself more in love with Jesus than ever before.  At the Dwell conference this weekend I was touched by the Holy Spirit in a significant way and in this time there was a complete shift that took place in the depths […]

  • Why I chose no drugs in childbirth

    Why I chose no drugs in childbirth

    In response to my previous blog post, a good friend of mine, who is an anaesthetist, asked what my reason behind not taking pain medication or having an epidural when giving birth was? I have nothing against epidurals at all and in fact with Mila I asked for one. What happened was, it failed dismally. […]

  • The wonder of almond milk

    The wonder of almond milk

    About four months ago I became fed up with the way Samuel (my 22 month old son), was in a permanent state of “snottiness”.  He had become accustomed to living with two green stripes protruding from his nostrils and a chest that sounded like it was about to take off.  He had been to the doctor […]

  • A love letter to my daughter

    A love letter to my daughter

    It’s Mila’s fourth birthday and I felt compelled to write her a letter that she will one day read. It’s a letter from me revealing to her the heart of God toward her. The words used are all based on scriptural promises God has made. These are listed in the tags below. Be free to declare these scriptures over your children as you lead them toward a life of purpose as they know their creator.

  • The Sweet Sound of Grace

    The other day my friend posted a quote on instagram that got me thinking.  It said this, “What Sussie says of  Sally says more of Sussie than of Sally”.  Essentially what this is saying is that judgement of a person does not define the person but rather the one doing the judging. I think that with out […]

As I sat down to write my beautiful mother a card, a myriad of thoughts surrounding the woman that I desire to be started to flood my mind.  I began to think about the verse in the bible that speaks about “The […]

    Lemon cake and the love language of quality time.

    Inspired by Gary Chapman’s book ” The Five Love Languages” I am inspired to bake with my little ones once a week as an attempt to fill their “little love tanks” with one on one affection.
