Proverbs 18 – What an amazing scripture to help us with family life. Reading Proverbs 18 today has given me encouragement to persevere with training my children and being a better mum and wife. It’s a huge encouragement for families, especially if like us you are currently in lock-down due to COVID-19. Here’s 14 reasons…

My kids are too SLOW!! – 5 surprising biblical Steps to stop parent frustration.
It can be a shock how slow life becomes once you’ve had a baby. Especially if you have been highly productive in your “past life”. For many of us it is tempting to become impatient and we can find ourselves becoming angry or frustrated before we even understand why. As a mother of 5 kids…
Abraham and Sarah’s Faithful Sex Life (Part 4)
In this final post of the series I want to look at Sarah and Abraham to talk about identity. People go on and on about sexual identity, about career identity, about family identity, about cultural identity. Over the years Sarah and Abraham had the opportunity to identify themselves as so many things. Between the two…
Abraham and Sarah’s Faithful Sex Life (Part 3)
We left Abraham in a pretty vulnerable situation on Tuesday (See This Post). Things were a bit sensitive. Abraham had submitted to God’s promise of a Son with a very personal act of dedication! He had declared that he (and all his household) would be circumcised! (Genesis 17:23) Not sure the staff would have been…
Abraham and Sarah’s Faithful Sex Life (Part 2)
I can’t imagine how it would have played on Abraham’s mind, imagining his beautiful wife with the Pharaoh even though now she was back with him. That kind of sexual problem takes a lot of healing.

It is that exchange that inspired this study. Today for my 10 minute Challenge I’m going through Proverbs 15 looking for Scriptures that bring…
Proverbs 10min. Challenge (Proverbs 14)
Proverbs 14! So exciting to be almost halfway through my challenge. I have to say I have really enjoyed Proverbs, despite the constant conviction in it puts into my heart, and the resulting need to pray, and press into God to enable myself to do what it says!!! I am quite excited every time I…
What’s Your Flavour? – Completed Talk
For those who followed my kids’ talk journey over the last few weeks, thank you for your prayers. They were beautifully answered. I felt them lift me, particularly when my legs turned to jelly just before I went on stage. Then I saw their fruit when so many hearts and hands responded to the gospel message…
Trust
I don’t trust myself, I don’t trust others but I do trust the Lord. When we put ourselves and others into the hands of the Lord, we can trust him with ourselves, and we can trust him with others. Trusting the Lord takes the pressure off people, and acknowledges the power of the one who…
