Come Home (poem)

Come home, though your face is dirty, though you smell like trash
Come home, though you’ve got nothing left

Choosing Joy

There are many forms of joy. The joy of creating beauty, the joy of receiving a gift, the joy of expressing love.

But there is another kind of joy that if chosen, far outweighs it all. A joy that breaks through the hard ground, hopes in the darkness and sings in the chaos. This joy gives strength when there is not a fibre of your being left to hold on. It is a joy so deep and so fulfilling, because it stems from the very heart of God.

Little Daisies//Everyday Beauties

These unsung little flowers are my favourite flowers.

Why? Precisely because they minister in their own little way. They spring up as they are, white and yellow beauties on the ground. And sometimes, actually get stepped on without being noticed.

Little Things// Ladybug on Flower

Life is often about the little things.

The silly shaped clouds, the flappy dog outside your house and sometimes (if you try hard enough) – the pile of dishes that you are washing.

And the little things often speak more of life than the occasional grand moments that we pursue so hard after.

A Mothers Day Post // Deborah

The story of Deborah can be found in Judges 4 and 5. She is termed as a Mother in Israel, one who arose when there was a time of much oppression and difficulty (Judges 5:6-7). Deborah inspires me because she not only knew the time and season she was in, she arose when the time was right and knew exactly what to do!!
