one by the faces from long ago popped up onto my screen, at exactly noon eastern standard time. Some of the faces I haven’t seen since I was 19 years old and too young and dumb to know how important those relationships would be in my life. Austria, Norway, Lithuania, Poland, US, Canada, the UKContinue reading “The perfect plan”

Pray for Ukraine
In my time in Europe I came to know and love many beautiful Ukraine brothers and sisters; and today they are under threat, today the world watched as Russia invaded. We are being called to pray… through out my life I have experienced enough to know that the power of prayer works and I amContinue reading “Pray for Ukraine”
ungrateful cow
Sometimes something you hear or see or experience jars you from your complacency and allows you to see things for what they are in your own life. Sometimes it’s sitting on the beach, hot sand between your toes, sun on your face, kids giggling in the sparkling water and you realize how much you haveContinue reading “ungrateful cow”
Why God?
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”
Water in the drought.
Yesterday morning I was on the phone with a fellow pastor’s wife and writer, we were talking about how our blogs are getting harder to write with nothing going on around us and I started telling her how it’s forced me to do the Bible, and she said “that’s a blog post right there”… andContinue reading “Water in the drought.”
The Psalms Project
“and this is how hope works. We are sidelined, sick, sad, and feel forgotten. But when the music plays, we are taken aback, and we remember the God who holds us. And in the remembering we are renewed and remade to hope again”Mike Janzen There is something pure and beautifully honest about the Psalms, theContinue reading “The Psalms Project”
Waiting…
Every day I sit down over my morning coffee and have a chat with God, mostly I am just talking without a whole lot of listening but the past few weeks I have been really trying to listen, for guidance, direction, wisdom… I haven’t heard anything yet but I am waiting still, because I knowContinue reading “Waiting…”
