Something from Nothing
Back in August, I had my first Oak hall experience. If you haven’t read it yet, then pop over to The Lake to find out more about the wonders of Umbria, Italy and group holidaying! What make Oak Hall specialised is that it is a Christian run holiday company. For me, that was the attraction, being together in beautiful Italy and having intentional opportunities to … Continue reading Something from Nothing
This is Autumn
#thatswhatHesaid At the beginning of the year, as I took time out to reflect on 2017 and prepare for 2018, I felt God simply say that 2018 was to be marked by seasons. When I came to the end of one, to seek Him for the next. I wrote about it in Setting Your Goals and I thought what this meant was to regularly use the exercises … Continue reading This is Autumn
Rubiks Cube
“my brain is the sort that at the mention of an idea, an event, or a problem; creates a thousand possibilities in a moment.

During a preach by Stu Gibbs this weekend, … Continue reading Simple Truth

Sung in Act 2 of Miss Saigon it depicts the turmoil of Ellen’s thoughts and feelings having found out … Continue reading The Final Season
It’s Only Words
Sat outside in this gorgeous sunshine escaping to the streets of Paris in my latest read, I was reminded of my passion for words. I love words, I surround myself with them. I use them (maybe sometimes too much) but words are essential to my life. I often talk about the words we say, whether we speak life or death into situations. At work, I … Continue reading It’s Only Words
What Wakes Me Up
I can’t believe its almost a month since I last posted. My fingers aren’t so quick on the letters, my mind is struggling to remember how to piece thought together. I know if I sit and plan, it will never get written. I have a notebook full of drafts to prove this. A stream of consciousness seems the only way forward; stream of consciousness, with … Continue reading What Wakes Me Up
