You may have heard of the recent saga surrounding a family that consists of a very famous ex-footballer and an equally famous former popstar. If you haven’t, then their son exposed them as allegedly being controlling with the family and performative. His mom also allegedly stole his wife's first dance at their wedding. Her son later described this “first wedding dance”, stating that his mom “ danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfo

I heard that in the USA there used to be an announcement that came on TV at night that said something along the lines of “it’s 10pm, do you know where your kids are”. I think it was to remind parents that their children should be home from playing out by 10pm.  I’m an 80s baby, 90s kid from the UK, so hearing about this made me think about my childhood and the friends I made by playing out.

I'm sick of the majority of people being selfish. I’m sick of people being mean and horrible. I’m sick of some people being just plain evil and revelling in it. I’m sick and angry of the stigma around mental health conditions and mental breakdowns. I just want all these people to know they are loved by God even if people judge and dislike them.  I’m sick of people manipulating and hurting people and getting away with it.

However it’s not just minor annoying everyday things, it feels like there is something more to it, even if you can’t put your finger on it. You feel that these things are put into place to try and distract you or break you. You may feel like you are under attack. Chances are that you are under attack, a spiritual attack. I also use the term spiritual warfare. This is summed up perfectly in Ephesians: “Fo

They hurt you, they betrayed you, they changed your life for the worse. For some that person destroyed your life. You hate them for what they have done to you, done to your family. I get it, I’ve been there many times in my life. When I first found Jesus the idea of forgiveness was the area I struggled with. This was because I was looking at the idea of forgiveness through the secular lens. The secular lens is forgive and forget… and that’s it! Forget the hurt and pain and le

“ He will never leave you nor forsake you. ” (Deuteronomy 31:6) I’ve been through my fair share of hard times. I can pretty much guarantee that you have too. Hard times can vary from person to person, it can range from struggling to pay your bills, a toxic job, to having a loved one die. Whatever the situation, large or small, the main thing is that it left you feeling sad, down and uncertain.   When I’ve been through hard times, I’ve felt all the emotions- confusion, sadness

“ The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit ” (Psalms 34:18) They’ve done it again and you’re wondering why you gave them another chance. Whether it’s a long term marriage or relationship that has betrayal through lying and cheating, or through abuse. Maybe it's the guy where everything seemed perfect but he ghosted you after three dates. You could be left asking the same question… Why do I attract men like this? Well the first place to look is how
