Let me contrast for you two of my life moments I’m recalling this evening: Standing on stage at a youth conference leading young people in prayer and witnessing actual real-life miracles. Sitting down to write this blog and being interrupted 5 times so far by my two-year-old stirring and crying and having to go settle […]
Leviticus 19:9-10 – ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am […]
My sister Joanne and I are alike in many ways, shopping, humour, faith, even our voices are difficult to tell apart on the phone, (which gave us hours of fun when we both worked in London and often called each others companies!) There is one area we couldn’t be more different. Joanne loves long distance […]
As I was reading the book of second Kings, I was taken by the attitudes of the four lepers who brought change in their lives by changing their situation 2 Kings 7:3-8. These were people who were looked down on in the society but they believed in themselves to action change in their lives. It […]
Confession time, I am guilty of questioning or blaming God a lot when something happens in my life, or to me, that I perceive as being unfair. My natural instinct when I get some bad news, an unwanted bill, a health problem, or even just when I catch my pocket on the door handle and […]
It was 11th October 2016, and I was standing on banks of Lake Victoria in Tanzania, preparing to deliver a leadership seminar for members of the Tanzanian Anglican Church – which included a Bishop and members of the Masai Mara tribe! I must admit, the thought of ‘how on earth did I get here?!!!’ crossed […]
I did a personality test earlier this year, and one of the results stated that I ‘live in a constant state of discontent.’ It means I’m always on the move, always looking for the next task to complete or the next goal to achieve. No matter how great a day I’ve had, I could have […]
Today’s leadership blog comes from a season of awakening within the life of One Church. The journey began at our We Are One Conference with a clear message: “Its time to expand”. The Holy Spirit guiding us to sow our dreams and, full of faith, we have been obedient. This culminated in a powerful night […]
I have the absolute privilege of spending the majority of my week working in a school with SEND children and young people. I spend a large chunk of that time shrivelling into a prune in our hydrotherapy pool, delivering physiotherapy programs to our students. It’s amazing how the heat of the pool relaxes our students […]
I absolutely love summer. The longer days. The warmth in the sun. Holiday season. Summer really does lift people. The one thing I don’t enjoy, is how the sun scolds the grass and turns it brown. My garden goes from looking like the Wembley football pitch (yes, I do put stripes in it when I […]
