I have been thinking much on fear in the last few months… the fear of the Lord, the fear of man, fear as an emotion/feeling, and the rightful and wrongful places it holds in our lives.

Peter didn’t drown
Over the last few months, God has been taking me ever so tenderly into a place of deeper trust, less of my own figuring-out and more choosing/welcoming/seeking of His light.

Could you imagine life without music?
Continue reading “Eternity song”Open House
Someday I would love to do impromptu ‘open house’ evenings where I just pop up a note saying “tonight I’m making churros (… or chilli… or whatever) come if you can” – play some music and enjoy whoever turns up. There’s some problems with that of course, like quantities and diets, and a dozen other things but it’s something I love the idea of regardless.

Lord I want to be a person you work through.
Except without pain please.
Twin Flips
OK so this is my second ever play with oil paints. It is very fun and I am very inexperienced but I hope to keep at it. This one has two contrasting sides which illustrate how I see two topics graphically.

Once upon a time a little 9 year old girl folded her heart full of hope into a tiny piece of paper with her name written on it, to go into a draw for the most desired prize she’d ever heard of. With every fold, her heart was pleading ‘please, please’ to be one of two from the class able to travel with the relief teacher to visit their much adored year 3 teacher at the hospital with her brand new baby.

Recognising a desire to dig deeper into the Bible is already a response to His call… it’s an awareness that there is treasure waiting to be found… Life waiting to be breathed in… a ‘deep calls to deep’ response taking form. Beautiful.
