Whose voice is it? – lent 2023

As we go through each day, things we see, do or say leave an impact. Sometimes that impact lasts seconds, sometimes it lasts years. Sometimes, memories come back time and again, some with good feelings and some with bad. Internally, it’s almost like we have another voice commentating as we go. It’s the sort ofContinue reading “Whose voice is it? – lent 2023”

Back to basics – lent 2023

It’s been a long day. A long, cold day. The place I work is windy at the best of times. At the moment, that wind has a cold bite to it. And today, my work included sitting outside for an hour talking to visitors. OK, I was sitting in a tent, but it still wasn’tContinue reading “Back to basics – lent 2023”

Let us pray – lent 2023

“Let us pray” is a phrase I’ve grown up hearing. It’s the cue to close our eyes and boe our heads, and possibly put our hands together. I heard it a little at school and I’ve heard it growing up in church. In the last few years, I have had the privilege to walk alongsideContinue reading “Let us pray – lent 2023”

Be strong, take heart – lent 2023

I have written a little about healthy introspection, seeing ourselves as we really both the good and the bad. The point of this is to help us move forwards. We can identify places where we need to grow, or areas we have a weakness we need to be careful of as well as indetifying giftsContinue reading “Be strong, take heart – lent 2023”

A tree has many branches… – lent 2023

Last year I was out walking and I found a cedar tree. I didn’t know it was a cedar tree, it just caught my eye because it was an interesting shape. It had a lot of branches (yes, I am aware that all trees have a lot of branches!) and these branches were all strong,Continue reading “A tree has many branches… – lent 2023”

Walk by faith – lent 2023

There is a phrase in the bible: we walk by faith, not by sight. It’s a phrase that comes to me from time to time – when it’s dark and I’m finding my way to a specific room in the house, walking a route I’ve walked most of my life, or when I’m carrying tooContinue reading “Walk by faith – lent 2023”

He cares about the ‘why’ – lent 2023

Have you ever done something ‘unforgiveable’? Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you didn’t deserve forgiveness? Have you acted in a way you’re not proud of? I was talking with a friend recently who was explaining a situation and said they felt they didn’t deserve forgiveness but was sure they wouldContinue reading “He cares about the ‘why’ – lent 2023”

He gives more than we ask for – lent 2023

A couple of days ago, a friend and I were driving to a church where parking was limited. There was a lay-by opposite and as we were driving through the rain, my friend prayed for a parking space. I told her I didn’t think it worked like that. I think God was trying to teachContinue reading “He gives more than we ask for – lent 2023”
