Jesus Is...Our Father

Last month we took a look at the fact that Jesus is our Creator. For February, we focus on the wonderful truth that Jesus is our Father.

I find it incredible to think that the God who is big enough to be the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth is also intimate and personal enough to be my Father. He's not a distant and unknowable God, He's so up-close and personal that He calls us His children!

May we give thanks to God for this wonderful blessing in our lives.

Women Of The Bible- Eve

Introducing my third series for 2023, "Women Of The Bible!" I thought it would be a good place to start with the very first woman ever created- Eve.
In this series I plan to take a look at different female characters we meet in the Bible and highlight some nuggets of truth and observations from their real life highs and lows. This series will come with Scriptures, poetry verses, points for reflection and insight afterwards.

I hope these words and videos can help us learn from both their positive and negative traits which the Bible never seeks to hide from us. Hearing about their challenges, successes and failures encourages us and I pray this poetry series helps us to relate to just some of the many fascinating ladies we meet in God's Word.

May it aid us with the practical application of Biblical wisdom in our lives and draw us closer to God as we learn about some of history's most intriguing women!

"Mr Katy"

My dear friend Katy and I would meet in a zoom call every Wednesday morning during the first difficult months of the Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020. We would use this time to share life with each other and talk through different challenges and triumphs.

Katy and I have been friends since the beginning of 2019 and performed together many times but I would say our friendship really deepened through the dark days of the pandemic. It was one of the silver linings for me in that troubling time and I’ll be forever grateful for this ray of sunshine and gift of friendship.

At the end of every zoom call we would have a time of prayer when we would lift each other up to the Lord and pray through any specific requests. It was during this time that we began to really pray for a husband for Katy. She had shared with me her desire to be married and so we started to pray for God’s will in this situation. We knew that if God had a husband included as part of His plans for Katy’s life then He would bring him along in His perfect time.

Salute To The Sequin

The Lord gives us so many things to enjoy and appreciate in life. Most people who have met me know pretty quickly that something I love is all things glittery, sparkly and covered in sequins! I've always been a bit of a magpie and find myself drawn to anything that shimmers. :)

I thought it was about time I wrote a poem dedicated to my love of the sequin and my prayer is that it can bring a bit of humour and fun into your day! Thank the Lord for sequins and all the joy they bring!

Ps This poem very much falls in line with my personal saying, "Life's too short to be anything other than extra!"

But God...Is Always With Us

My second new series for 2023 is called, "But God..." There are so many places in the Bible where these two words appear and turn a situation around. Sometimes they remind us that although circumstances may seem one way, when God is placed in the middle of things, it can change our focus and perhaps even the outcome completely!

I thought it might be a great encouragement for us to take a look at just some of these statements as we journey through the year. I'm sure we all have many "But God" moments in our own lives to speak of so I hope these verses can inspire us to give thanks to our Saviour and share our own "But God" experiences with others!

But God...Is Always With Us

Genesis 48:21
“Then Israel said to Joseph, “I am about to die, but God will be with you and take you back to the land of your fathers.””

Acts 7:9
“Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him.”

Jesus Is...Our Creator

My first new series for 2023 is called "Jesus Is..." At the start of each month I'll share a little verse, some Scriptures and a prayer of thanks!

Jesus is of course infinite and He is so many things to so many people. The list of all the wonderful things Jesus is to us would never end as an infinite God can never be captured with a finite number of words!

Within this series however, I hope to give us some simple truths to dwell on and give thanks for at the beginning of each month. I pray these verses are a blessing to you as we consider just some of the incredible things Jesus is!

Ps My little Highland Cow friend, Angus wanted to make an appearance with me to start the year off!

Jesus Is...Our Creator

John 1:1-3

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
