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.

Words of Encouragement from Niqui's Heart

Oooohhhh ... I am so excited about this post! Please meet my very beautiful sister, Niqui. Her and I are not only sisters, but the best of friends. We have been on the most wonderful adventures together and I love her honest heart and the wisdom that pours out of her. Her heart is so compassionate and I see so much beauty in her, inside and out! This message is straight from her heart to Yours. May you be just as encouraged as I was! "Belonging" I have been meditating on the word ‘belonging’ for a few days now... I have been thinking about little Cosmo, and the fact that he has fitted into his new family life so quickly and with so much ease. And that he has found his person... Jan. He knows that she loves him and that when he needs a cuddle, or a chunk of ice, or food or whatever, he can go to her, and she will gladly give it to him. So who do you belong to? Isaiah 43: 1-5 “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: Fear no...

A place of Belonging

The word "belonging" really crept into my heart last week. It's something that I would like to continue to explore and share around this coming week. Watch this space ... I have asked my precious sister, Niqui, to guest post her heart on the matter here tomorrow. I cannot wait to read it myself!  As I have been searching my heart concerning this blog, one of my greatest desires has always been from my very first post that this be a place where you can come away to, to receive fresh sips of encouragement in your everyday journey. I have found such belonging in my relationship with the Lord. He has weathered the highs and lows of my life since I came to know Him as a child. He continues to remind my heart daily that in Him I always have a place of belonging, acceptance and delight. That's what I want to remind you of today ... He is your safe place, your "place of belonging". Know today that you are celebrated! You are accepted. You are valued and worth so ver...

Discovering a true sense of "Belonging"

My little girlies are safely tucked into bed, fast asleep; hubby is relaxing in front of the tellie which means that it's finally a little bit of "me time" for a few minutes. To keep me company I have the sweetest little pup in the whole wide world lovingly cuddling on my lap. Just look at my little Cosmo . Everything about him makes me smile. He is my little shadow. He even has the same ice crunching passion as me :0) He runs to the freezer and waits to share a block of ice with me on these hot Summer days. I am so amazed at the bond he has with us after 3 short weeks. He knows he "belongs" in every way.  I haven't been posting as much as I would like lately. As my last post suggested, it's been a bit of a whirl wind time. I am really having to learn how to manage my time wisely and what to say yes and no to. Sitting behind my computer to blog is always relaxing for me.  With a cup of coffee and a freshly baked cookie (yes, just 1!) who wouldn't be...
