This summer when talking to Ella Smith (Russ&Jo's oldest daughter) about her new school that she was about to start in, she told me how she was looking forward to making new friends, sometimes she would say she was a little bit worried about it, but mostly she was excited. I would encourage her saying 'you are so good at making friends Ella, and you are a great friend to have' the smile on her

Today was my 2nd day at work with Daddy! I am doing clerical work at his surgery. What a treat to ride in the car with him in the mornings and sometimes see him throughout the day!I work really lovely hours and today I came home and sat down with my Mum who had been working in her new studio on her latest pottery. We looked at her little sketch book and talked about her design for the center

I am stuck on Grace, I can't get it out of my heart, my head or my creative ideas. I am going to do some sort of series maybe. And here it begins.I can not live without grace. Grace has changed my life. His grace is enough. His grace is my reward.

I love that I can turn right on a red light here...it saves so much time.I don't love four-way stops...I much prefer to have the main road going through and then the minor roads at a T junction or intersection. Roundabouts are a fun alternative too.I don't like traffic lights on roads where the speed limit is above 30 mph (not sure what that is in kpm)I like how fast and nippy you have to be to

Jo and I did some ministry this week during our weekly skype chat...woah! God is so good.God has been showing me how much he is really teaching me/us in this.When this dream to pursue creativity (outside of university) was planted, Jo and I talked about having a 'Holy Spirit led' type of university time. God spoke to me about leading me and teaching me in art. It was a faith thing to believe him!

So this week's project has been about incorporating creativity into every day life. Understanding that creativity is something that needs to be exercised.My biggest battle I have found is validating my creativity in my every day life. Things that I already do that are creative, things that I naturally think of that are creative. I have not been doing well with this task so far. I have been

(These next few blogs are catch ups as I have been writing at JunctionJ the last few months and these are the blogs that I have written there)My thoughts and feelings as we start this adventure together are so mixed right now...if I am honest...which mostly I am...when I am bold enough to be so.I am excited because I know that God is big which means big things. Big dreams, big realities, big life

It's my birthday today. Yay me!! Yay God for making me!! Here are my love languages. Looks like I'm bit high maintainence...or you could look at it and think, I could pick any of the top three and she would know I love her...therefore making it easy - you have many options to choose from!I'm surprised that gifts are low, but, having said that, I have always LOVED the home-made jobs, or the gifts

I have been to see Katy May a few times now and every time I visit, she amazes me!! She doesn't seem weak at all. of course, she is fragile, but there is nothing weak about her. She is so strong. I imagine so often all of the things that the Father must being saying to her. She is going to live an amazing life! Mark and Leanne have also knocked me over sideways with all of their wisdom and love

My niece - Katy May was born on April 30th 2007, weighing a tiny 750g and about 21cm long. She was born at 25weeks and is currently in St.Georges Hospital in London. She is stable, everything is in the right place and well formed, underdeveloped, but healthy. Her parents Mark (my bro) and Leanne, are INCREDIBLE and have done amazingly in the last 48hrs as they've turned their lives around to

Yesterday, I was walking home from getting waxed and the tiniest little black kitten ran across my path and started mew-owing at me. He was so cute. I have NEVER called myself an animal lover. i like animals, I don't hate them, but really, I am not one to go gushy over an animal.The kitten looked about 2 weeks old. And continued to mew-ow at me. So I called Junior. He informed me that it had

About 5 months ago, at the end of one of my blogs I quoted something that I had written to a friend about what I had been learning: "I have been learning that Love is Patient. when God is patient with me, it's not patience that is weary, or itching for something to happen, or doubtful that the desire will one day be filled. His patience for me, is strong, peaceful, resting and welcoming. He waits

Yep! that´s where I am right now. In an internet cafe in Uruguay...I´m just on the boarder of Brasil and Uruguay so the people here speak spanish and understand portuguese very well.I´m in a city that is like one big Duty Free Shopping place in an airport.

Said goodbye to Cathy, Gordon, Meghan and Matthew 2 days ago.Yeh, it was sad.I was doing fine, and then all of a sudden I felt the sorrow rise up from the bottom of my stomach, it reached my eyeballs and then leaked out of the corners of my eyes and rested just underneath my lower eyelids.I had so much fun with them and I just love them so much!I realised the night before they left, that the
