When life gets hard where do you turn to? We often need to find strength outside of ourselves. The psalmist writes, ‘My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.’ (Ps.7:10) Have you ever been caught in a storm so bad that it wrecks your umbrella, turns it inside out, rips it from… Continue reading Raise your shield

I have a dream you can’t let go of
I woke up this morning with Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech in my head. What would’ve happened if Dr King had not pursued the dream? What would’ve happened if he listened to those around him who said ‘its too big a dream to achieve’? What would’ve happened if He just stayed silent?… Continue reading I have a dream you can’t let go of
015 Finding your purpose and some Japanese thinking (Ikigai)
I recently wrote about how knowing your purpose is a key to living in joy. But what if we don't know our purpose?

There's a song in the bible that says the following: “But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful… Continue reading You are blessed with the favour and love of God
Self care – the art of burning brightly
This morning I had the privilege of participating (gatecrashing!!) a Twitter conversation on the subject of 'self care'. Too many of us care for others and neglect ourselves in the process. We end up tired, taken for granted, or at worst... burnt out! We are not meant to burn out in the pursuit of supporting,… Continue reading Self care – the art of burning brightly
With God, Life is ‘turnaroundable’
Sometimes life can seem overwhelming. Difficult. A trial. Don't you just wish sometimes that there was a hero - a real superhero to swoop in and save the day? Psalm 14 ends with this saying: Is there anyone around to save Israel? Yes: God is around; God turns life around (The Message) Here lies a great… Continue reading With God, Life is ‘turnaroundable’
