This is a freedom story told through the journey I’ve been on with my hair (I know it sounds implausible, but there is a story in the bible related to hair you know) so read on if you want to see how they connect… So, for a long time I have had straight hair in … More Freedom!
As a teacher I have felt deluged in the last couple of weeks with news paper headlines about how schools are going to go back as the current Covid19 lock down we are living in is being eased. Ever since Boris Johnson announced that Primary School children would return in specific year groups on 1st … More What is shaping your thinking?
So, I’ve been reflecting on the current situation that is going on in the world, the pandemic that is the Coronavirus. Now I’m not in any way trying to belittle the severity of the situation or the impact it may have had/be having on families, businesses, the economy and such like but I’ve realised that … More When life gives you lemons, make G and T!
How do you hear from God? Do you like to take yourself off somewhere quiet, spend time in the word, listen to worship music or maybe you like to spend time in nature as your preferred way to hang out with Papa to hear His voice.

As I sat in the hairdressers getting my roots sorted (long overdue), I had a flick through the magazines I was offered with my coffee (very needed).

I sat and … More Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

It feels like a while since I last blogged and I don’t really know why? I love to write and it has been a mystery to me why I haven’t put pen to paper or finger to keyboard, over the last few weeks, but I feel like I’m back in the game. So, be honest … More You see the wall, I see the gate!
