The thing that strikes me about God is that he never gives up on me. I came to faith late in my life (Late have I loved you, O Lord) and God became something I relied on to be a constant, never-changing, never-judging, always forgiving God, who loves me unconditionally and who is full ofContinue reading “Pre-Easter Muddle”

Stepping out of January Blues… and into February’s Soul Month
I’ve been suffering off and on with neck pain since I had a fall two years ago and for the past three months it’s been unbearable at times. One day last week it was the worst it’s been since it began so I phoned the surgery and, to my amazement, secured a face-to-face appointment withContinue reading “Stepping out of January Blues… and into February’s Soul Month”
From Lament to Joy
It’s been six months since my last post because I’ve been on an emotional roller-coaster of ups and downs. With the neglect of my personal journal writing and this blog, I seemed to lose my way, my life path, somehow, in my day-to-day busyness of recovering and rediscovering myself, but I am hopeful that I’veContinue reading “From Lament to Joy”
A Gratitude Reminder
and overleaf… When tomorrow comes today will be gone forever. I hope I will not regret the price I paid for it. (Ruth Spearing) I’ve had such a time of anxiety this past fortnight visualizing what could happen during a pending medical procedure I’m waiting for that I felt in need of spiritual support. IContinue reading “A Gratitude Reminder”
Find Rest in Holy Week
I’ve been missing in action on my blog for three months. I’ve not been lost for words. I’ve had too many. Having too much to say is as painful as having nothing to say. Words and stories have been buzzing in my head along with the happenings of life; some sad, some happy, yet interestingContinue reading “Find Rest in Holy Week”
How Did I End Up Here?
Since hitting a major birthday milestone 7 weeks ago, time seems to have been flying by at the speed of light and I’ve arrived in the New Year with my feet having barely touched the ground. Already, I’m bored with the tedious reminders of aging that are constantly bombarding me – or is it thatContinue reading “How Did I End Up Here?”
Too Early For This?
You may think it’s far too early to hold a Christmas Carol Service on 4th December but think again. Have you seen how busy the high street is already in the run-up towards Christmas? And it’s not even December yet? We’ve had cards on display since the end of September, Christmas songs in the shopsContinue reading “Too Early For This?”
LET’S TALK ABOUT DEATH…
I’ve been contemplating the subject of death for a while now as I’m not getting any younger (surprise, surprise!) and took the plunge to buy two funeral plans for me and hubby. This has done nothing to give me peace of mind as it’s resulted in sleepless nights worrying about how I’ll manage the monthlyContinue reading “LET’S TALK ABOUT DEATH…”
IS LOVE REALLY ALL WE NEED?
Okay, so I’ve failed to write in my personal journal since 25th May when I was busy packing my glad rags into my suitcase for a long-awaited visit to see our son in Prague on 27th. I had been filled with trepidation about the chaos reported at UK airports but needn’t have worried because, priorContinue reading “IS LOVE REALLY ALL WE NEED?”
