A Father’s Gift

Today my dad dropped off these flowers and some chocolates to me.💗 It’s not even my birthday and I can’t think what would warrant such a gift incorporating two of my favourite things! It comes down to the kindness of the giver. Matthew 7:11 says; “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts Read More

Spiritual Posture

Feeling a little sore after the chiropractor’s efforts to straighten my pelvis/back. It’s taken me 6 months of pain to get me back on that table!…It was brutal but necessary. The chiropractor told me how the tenseness in my back and shoulders has impacted the whole of my spine. It got me thinking that we Read More

Unsearchable and good – Original Christian worship

Today as I went through my songs I’m preparing to record, I found this one based on Isaiah chapter 40. If you haven’t read it I encourage you to! Today this song gained a tune after 6 months of sitting untouched in a notebook. Sometimes my songs reflect a way that God can work in Read More

As the deer

My son James has developed a real love of wildlife over the last few months; especially for deer. He is pictured here with his sister Kaitlin just before he was able to feed a couple of slightly tamer wild red deer. To be honest I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen deer in the wild Read More

Practise for the test

This is me in my music room where I’ll spend 4 hours later on today with my piano pupils…You know I can always tell which ones have practised and which ones haven’t! This got me thinking about life and our walks with the Lord. We have a handbook full of instructions and answers aka the Read More

Holiday at home is not so bad

Having a holiday at home is not so bad when you live close to the beach and it’s hot! I’m thankful for this time amidst a crazy season of non-stop work on the house (including my nearly finished music room), social distancing and back pain. I am longing to get back to my music and Read More

Continuing with the beattitudes theme I’ve been exploring with my children (which I meant to post yesterday) : No:2 “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted “. -Matthew 5:4 This song by Matt Redman exemplifies the hope that we have-that this world is not our home. One day, for those who have Read More

We need revival

On Sunday it was a blessing to be able to introduce a song I wrote called “Let the Spirit and the Bride say come” (just released with @hgwsongs )….My husband Ilir taught the Sunday school lesson that day on Acts chapter 10 about the Roman Centurion Cornelius whose prayers and alms had come up as Read More

A journey of purpose

This picture taken on one of our many countryside strolls reminds me of a passage I read yesterday in 1 Samuel. The Lord really spoke to me through the story of Saul. He was sent by his father along with a servant to find some lost donkeys. He travelled through different places until he realised Read More

Life can be busy

Life can be busy; having to re-record 12 songs in a short space of time can seem a daunting task without life’s added interruptions and ailments (such as a newly acquired cold!)… The temptation is to plough on through with my list and see if there’s time at the end for God. The truth is Read More

No idols

This was me this afternoon working on some songs for a new project/faith adventure, enjoying the September sun!…But there’s something at a conference I attended at the weekend which really has impacted me and I wanted to share. The speaker said ” fear and lust are both idols….if we we fear rejection , we often Read More
