Dear child, I’m inviting you to take some time with me. Life is so busy, and you quickly move from one thing to another. If your body isn’t moving, then your mind is racing with so many thoughts and worries I would love you to stop your hurrying and try and slow your racing thoughts and sit in a quiet place. Take a few moments and sit with me. Breathe in my peace. When we sit together, please don’t feel you have to say anything. Prayer isnt complicated. Just be still. Let th

“I Was Not Seen, Nor Soothed, Nor Safe, Nor Secure” is a deeply honest spoken word poem inspired by the four essential building blocks of healthy childhood development described by Daniel Siegel—being seen, soothed, safe, and secure—and a personal journey of growing up without them. This poem invites you into a story of restoration, hope, and grace through faith. I was not seen, nor soothed Nor safe, nor secure.  I sought the treasure But could find no cure    I heard try and

There are some good days They'll be those bad days Tears occasionally some days Smiles on the other days. Emotions don't choose the day Coming in waves, day to day There are happy or sad days Some more than any other day. For the Lord our strength He is our firm foundation In the deepest dark valleys Or standing on mountain tops. I will love on our good days I'll love on our bad days I will love you on beautiful days I'll love you on crazy days. Come what may, day to day Even

God hold onto my hand Catch my every tear Wisdom to understand Remove whatever I fear Lord, hold me close Never ever let me go God of faith and love Anchor in the storm Take from me any guilt In this, I am not to blame Give me peace in the night One small step at a time God, my ever-present light With you, I am never alone Cast out the shadows of doubt Grant over me your peace There is an unseen reason One, I shall not wallow Throughout this season There's a brighter rainbow

Today, we bring to a close the theme of ‘Free to Be Me’. The process of understanding who we truly are, who God created us to be, is a long one. However, it is so wonderful when you get to the stage when you are able to say that you not only love who you are, but you actually like  yourself too! For many, many years, I couldn’t say that. I didn’t like myself. I sort of loved myself, because I was told that, if you’re a Christian, you must love yourself, otherwise you’re rejec

All seasons come, seasons go The seasons fall, seasons fly Seasons blow, seasons flow A season is born, seasons die. The seasons cry, seasons enjoy A season takes, seasons employ The season's journey, season's story Seasons of sorrow, seasons of glory. Seasons of darkness, seasons of light A season's frailty, a season's might Seasons so fraught, seasons fight A season's bright, a season's delight. The seasons rock, seasons they roll Seasons console, seasons control The season

What is God Doing? Almighty God will draw his people closer and secure our position in His Kingdom. He is maturing the Saints and moving us into position faster than we thought and in ways we never imagined. The maturing will seem to happen overnight, and for many, that will be the case, as the things that have held us back will suddenly be removed. The last piece of the puzzle will be placed, and the picture will suddenly be revealed. This year will be known as the year we,

Dear child, as another year comes to an end, it's time to look at what you need to leave behind or what you need to take into another year. Leave behind all regrets. Take into the new year fresh hope. Leave behind unforgiveness. Take with you grace. Leave behind fear. Take with you faith. Leave behind worry. Take with you peace. Leave behind heaviness. Take with you joy. This new year will provide you with new opportunities and so many possibilities. So leave behind timidit
