One day about 15 years ago my husband said something that I've always kept close to my heart since he said it. We were young twenty somethings, looking up at the sky, it was cloudy and he said when you see grey clouds remember that they will always pass and reveal the blue sky. Since that day, that message has always stuck with me and helped me get through some really tough times. When I wasn't a Christian this sentence was like a mantra to me to help me to keep pushing thro

If you remember, in my last post “ I just can’t do it ! ” I wrote about the time when Jesus healed the man, who couldn’t walk, by the pool.

“I am the Lord’s servant,” ... “May your word to me be fulfilled.” ( Luke 1:26-38) Letting God use you Now that you’ve read all about Mary and Elizabeth and are inspired by their determination, resilience and obedience. You may have also reflected on your past and your own personal trauma wounds. If you are wondering what on earth I’m talking about, then that means you haven’t read the first part of Your are Worthy. That's ok, just go and read You Are Worthy Part 1 and it w

“Mary was greatly troubled at his words” (Luke 1:26-38) You are worthy, yes there I’ve said it! You may not believe it but it is true. Sometimes our past experiences can make us think it’s not true. Our past can understandably make us lose trust in people, which can sadly make us lose trust in God. Part 1 will take you on a journey with two women called Mary and Elizabeth and how we can see them as inspiration in letting God use us to fulfil His purpose. In my second blog pos
