The kids, my mum and I, this week, spent 3 glorious days on a farm, belonging to my aunt and uncle who are also my Godparents. While we were away I began reading the book of Luke and read a prophesy about John the Baptist. Luke 1:16-17 says, He will bring back many of the…

Mummy Ministry
The kids at White Beach, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania. I have days when I think, “Man I suck at this being a wife, being a mum, thing.” I look around and everything is a mess, the house, the spouse, the kids. The hardest part on days like that is trying to find a place I can…
Not the Same Season
Sometimes it is hard to talk to people who are not in the same season of life. I had two conversations that were awkward this week. Both with people in different life-seasons to me.

Wear Your Helmet
Those first 12 months of being parents are a shock. Things you think are easy; like getting into the car, take on a whole new life of their own. When you do it together as a team, when you share the load, when you get some sleep, when you can afford the cost, you can…
Believe – My God Can!
Photo by Johannes Plenio from Pexels When I first gave my life to Jesus I noticed how the Holy Spirit revealed new things to me each week. God peeled me back like an onion. I saw it so clearly. Just as I’d master one thing he’d convict me of the next thing that needed his…
Mum’s Important Work
Photo of the kids and I at Cradle Mountain, Tasmania, Australia. Isaiah 40 is where I go to find strength. At the Anglican church we used to sing a hymn that mixed Isaiah 40:31 and Proverbs 3:5-6 two of my favourites. “They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength, they shall run and…
