I thought I was sick of fighting, but really I was sick of surrender. Oh, it felt like fighting. But what was really happening was I was being attacked and pushed down and it was a struggle just to keep going. Just because you’re in a battle doesn’t mean you’re fighting. I was passive, just trying to cope with each day and letting myself get beaten down again and again. But...

There was a time
when in difficult times like this when I feel completely overwhelmed/burdened/stressed I would turn to TV, or the internet, or food, or doing something self destructive to provide a temporary escape. I know I just need to get on my knees. I knew that then, but I still turned to other things. Now I actually turn to God first, and not as a last resort. I’m so thankful that God has changed my...

I will not be defined by my failures but by Christ’s victory in me.
I will not be defined by my weakness but by His strength.

I was made for courage not fear.

There are a lot of people who need to know that God thinks they’re amazing. I know people whose lives would look so different if they heard how incredible God things they are. God thinks so highly of us that even those who ‘know’ it can still be completely blown away by His love. That’s just how…

February = Love
Who said Valentine’s day was the one special day to tell people you love them? And who limited it to romantic love?
Some people boycott Valentine’s day by refusing to celebrate it, but why limit the love?! I want to extend Valentine’s day to every day of February! Love is my ‘theme’ for February.
I am trying to be more intentional in life; reflecting on each month...

I’ve just realised something I should probably have realised a long time ago.
I just got really excited by the fact I have a new Singaporean friend. Actually, no, she’s not Singaporean but she’s lived in Singapore and has a Singaporean accent! Which over excited me. Special people in my life have been Singaporean and it makes me happy!
It’s a bit ridiculous…...

Jesus - reflecting God
When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to...
I am lovable because God says so.
