“Lord you know everything there is to know about me. You perceive every movement of my heart and soul, and you understand my every thought before it even enters my mind” These are amazing words in Psalm 139. Our God knows us so intimately and has immense love for us. He is so keenly awareContinue reading “Known by God”

Journey to Freedom
My obsession with food started around age 15 which was the same year my father passed away. Up until that point I think you could say I had a fairly idyllic upbringing. I think in my mind focusing on food was a distraction from grieving and gave me something to control when my emotions wereContinue reading “Journey to Freedom”
Grateful Living
As I sit here in the peace and quiet I am watching the winter sun stream through the sheer curtains into the lounge room. Reflecting on life I have so much to be grateful for. I find once I start thinking of things the list tends to go on and on and on. It canContinue reading “Grateful Living”
Less Trying, More Trusting
The other day when I was journaling the phrase “less trying, more trusting” came into my mind. This spoke to my heart as I have personally been struggling with negative thoughts. It seemed the more I focused on the problem and tried in my own strength to fight it, the more the issue was magnified.Continue reading “Less Trying, More Trusting”
Banqueting House
“He brought me to the banqueting house” (Song of Solomon 2:4) This is our God who brings us from lowly places of brokenness and invites us to sit at His banquet table. He truly “prepares a table before us, in the presence of our enemies” (Psalm 23:5). He wants to commune with us and usContinue reading “Banqueting House”

This is what God wants to do for His people. To exchange their brokenness, theContinue reading “Beauty for Ashes”
Restoration
I was out walking today and it was a beautiful winter day. The sun was out and birds were singing albeit the temperature was quite cool. As I was walking this verse kept resounding in my mind: “I will restore the years that the chewing locust has eaten” (Joel 2:25). If you are anything likeContinue reading “Restoration”
Imagination
“Imagination is more important than knowledge” – Albert Einstein Do you remember what it was like to be a child and have an endless vivid imagination. Children dream for the impossible and have no sense of “being realistic” or the limitations that adults place on themselves. As we grow older we lose that ability toContinue reading “Imagination”
