About Me

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.

A Letter in the Post

There is nothing more exciting that getting a special letter in the post. My precious Mommy Darling who lives so very far from us in the U.S. has started something special with all her grandchildren by posting them a card in the mail every now and then. Angelee finally got her turn. Her card arrived in the post this week. Just look at that smile!!!
Watching Angelee's joy showed me once again how easy it is to impact anothers life when we show love intentionally. Something as simple as a letter can shape memories that will last forever. Thank you my precious Mommy darling for making us all smile even from so very far away. We love and miss you. 
Love Always,
Janine xxx

That is so sweet! My step grandmother used to send me letters and I would always write her one in return. We kept this up long after I stopped talking to that side of the family and after left college too. Really until she passed away, we kept writing. know it meant as much to her as it did to me.

Hi Janine. I still get excited by post in the mail(assuming its not a bill). I come from the era of snail mail. Email is great but paper mail, so much more personal.
God bless

A Mothers Love is 'heaven on earth', but a Grandmothers love is something really special! I speak from experience, so I know - cause I'm a Granny xxxx

We are Seeing the Miracles Unfold!

Precious friends and family ... we are starting to see the miracles unfold! We just KNOW that we are living in the miracle :0) Yesterday we had a scan with the specialist who discovered and diagnosed all of Zac's heart defects in August. It's been about 6 weeks since the day we heard the horrible news. As you may remember, the defects she discovered that day in "that" heart were so complex ... not only one defect, but multiple! There was the issue of only 1 chamber; only seeing one major valve from the heart to the lungs where there must be 2 and then the complication of not being able to clearly see the arch of the aorta. What she saw of it, as well as  several other specialists, it looked too narrow and underdeveloped from what we could understand. When we came back from that first scan and spoke with our friend and paediatrician ... this was one of his biggest concerns. The aortic arch is so important in the functioning of the heart!  So before we went for the...

This post is our hearts response of praise and adoration to Him because He has faithfully carried us through each day with "heart peace", strength, hope, faith and incredible love. He has coached us in how to stand leaning into His Almighty power, wisdom and goodness and has taken all the fear out of this journey. Today our hearts are soooooo excited. It is the day of promise ... Zac's appointed day to shine forth His Glory.
