Today I have been honoured to walk through the pain of loss, the pain of deep sorrow, the pain of disappointment and anger and failure and guilt with a number of friends who are each in their own way struggling through some of life’s most difficult moments while also navigating a pandemic and isolating themselvesContinue reading “Why God?”

No fear
Close your eyes, imagine the world of King Solomon, he’s sitting by his window looking out over the fields in the distance, musing about life, about time, about the crops that are planted and harvested, the seasons, the births and the deaths, the joy and the pain, the tears and the laughter and he takesContinue reading “No fear”
13 years
Thirteen years ago I became a mother. I still remember the feeling so well, it wasn’t the way I had wanted it to go, nor was it the way I had planned. It was an emergency C-section that stole the baby from my womb and then rushed him over to the SickKids Cardiac Critical CareContinue reading “13 years”
Reclaimed
I don’t know about you but I am a proud garbage recycler. It’s a bit of a joke in the family, the boys scream “Don’t look Mummy” if they see an old chair or dresser on the roadside because they know that if there is room in the back of the car I may justContinue reading “Reclaimed”

Healing in his wings
The Healing of the bleeding woman a characterization from Mark 5:25-34 Dust covered her feet, tired legs carried her through the heat of the day to the place where she had heard the crowd was gathering. She was hunched over, the shame of years of being unclean had worn her down and her eyes stayedContinue reading “Healing in his wings”
Love. That’s it.
Last night I sat with my kids watching the news as we saw the replay of the storming of the Capitol building in Washington D.C.. There is a lot to say about the ways in which this blows my mind, a lot to say about the way that things were handled by both the presidentContinue reading “Love. That’s it.”
Let go
“Recently I learned that original Hebrew root of ‘be still’ doesn’t mean be quiet, it means let go. God is asking me to ‘let go’ and know that he is God” Through the Lens of Motherhood – the book How many times have I had God tell me to be still and know that heContinue reading “Let go”
