Promises
I’m going to try and keep this one short and sweet. It’s quite unplanned, but something just took my mind on a tangent and if I don’t write it now it will stay in my mind building castles and cathedrals, cities and parks, until finally in the middle of the night, I get up and write it. I’ve been in a bit of a funk … Continue reading Promises
Fallow
Recently, I was journaling and asking God what on earth this season was all about! He dropped the word FALLOW into my heart. Not being one who knows these things, I turned to Google to find out what that meant. I was not happy with the answer. This year was meant to be about being fruitful and this seemed like the absolute opposite. As I … Continue reading Fallow
Hope is not in a holiday
I decided to make the most of the afternoon sunshine and write. I made a decision to write every week this month, no matter how inspired I feel. It’s not like I don’t have ideas, I have notebooks full of them and a mind that swirls with thoughts! Allowing one of them to settle on my heart is the discipline I need to learn. I … Continue reading Hope is not in a holiday
Lockdown Lessons #2
Hello readers, I know you’re probably thinking, how long is a day, seeing as in the last post I said “I’ll continue tomorrow” and then tomorrow never came! Until now, now tomorrow is today and I will let you into the two other lessons I have learned through lockdown. Those of you who are regular to this blog will know that before lockdown started I … Continue reading Lockdown Lessons #2
Lessons in Lockdown
This morning, I attended a writing workshop, online of course but thankfully out in my patch of grass beside my front window. The theme was set around summer solstice and our thoughts and wellbeing with regard to lockdown. I had no expectations for this class other than to grow my writing portfolio, and fill my morning doing something I love. It was great to see … Continue reading Lessons in Lockdown
Unlearn
I have struggled to find the words to put down for this, but I came to the conclusion that some words are better than none. I came to the point of thinking, this has always been my heart spilling out so rather than overthinking, I just allowed the over spill. I heard a phrase recently, about adopting a continuous cycle of unlearning and relearning. I … Continue reading Unlearn
Not The End
I’ve just had the privilege in taking part in a very special recording. I hope at some point I can share it on here, but for now, it has reminded and inspired this last post in our Joseph series. I hope you have enjoyed it. I will end I should expect where those who know the story would anticipate, but before we get there, a … Continue reading Not The End
Elvis has entered the building
I don’t remember the name of the boy who played Pharaoh in our school play, I just remember him singing into one of those 90’s echophones that everyone had, and being told off for turning around from our ‘choir’ area to watch him sing. I don’t remember his name, but I remember the whole song & scene as if I were watching it now. Pulling … Continue reading Elvis has entered the building
Locked up in a cell
When all this started, when I say all this I mean rumours of a virus that could become a pandemic, that could mean a bit of social distancing my optimism took centre stage. Maybe this won’t be that difficult… Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the … Continue reading Locked up in a cell
Go Go Go Joseph
I don’t know about you but I struggle to read through Genesis 37-50 without singing. I feel like I know the intricacies of the story because I was in the show in Year 6, saw the show twice in Year 7 and with a bit of practice can still sing you through every colour of the “dazzling coat of many colours”… I know this story … Continue reading Go Go Go Joseph
