Welcome to my little writing corner. I count my many blessings to be a cherished wife and an ever-learning-loving-growing mother to 3 amazing children this side of Heaven and a precious little boy in Heaven. Together as a family we pastor a precious church community called Redeeming Hope Church. I've had the privilege of loving and following Jesus Christ since my earliest memories as a child. No matter what I've gone through in life, He has always been so present. At heart, I'm an encourager ... so this is a place where I get to wear my heart on my sleeve and share my journey of learning to live a life of love in action.

The BEST day with the BEST news!!!

Oh my goodness! What a day it's been! My precious Tianna, our darling firstborn, turned 10 years old today. She is such a delight to us in every way. Brett and I had the joy of sharing the best birthday pressie with her ... she and Angelee are going to be big sisters to another little Robinson!!!!!!! We are expecting our third child! It is very early days but I can feel the change in my body already. We are all over the moon! The best pressie for me in all this is that Tianna has been praying for about 4 years for another sibling! The fact that we found out a day before her birthday just makes me see the Father's smile. Oh how He delights to answer our prayers!!! So happy to share our news with you.
All my love xxx

Yay!
That truly IS the very best news!

It took us five long years to conceive our second child, so whenever I hear about a new baby on the way, I just think {well, KNOW} that it is the greatest thing ever!

Congratulations!

Reasons to Celebrate

I am quickly typing this in between trying to pack up for Cape, and while packing I am having this to celebrate :0) What to celebrate you may ask ... well you would be amazed at how many amazing blessings you will discover of how good God has been to you when you start looking back and remembering what He has walked you through.

One of those "check your heart" moments

I had one of those moments today. You know those moments that give you an unexpected glimpse in the mirror and you see something that you don't quite like. I had been been standing in line to pay for my groceries. When it was eventually my turn, I greeted the cashier with a friendly smile and hello, genuinely wanting to acknowledge her and show her my appreciation. She in turn ignored me point blank and simply told me to swipe my reward card. Just like that my mood changed. She was so abrupt and uninterested in the friendliness that I had just shown her. In an instant my smile was gone and I stood there silently unpacking my groceries. She ignored me and I ignored her, all the while stewing in my head. I couldn't believe how "off" this woman was and how it had changed my attitude in an instant. Years ago I used to coach customer care training, so everything in me felt like imparting a lesson to this grumpy young woman. Thankfully, that quiet inner voice inside my hea...
