Stuck in the middle…

Just how I feel in this moment of waiting; the promise of the rainbow, and moving and changing sea. My faith that has taken me through all the storms of life and sometimes I’ve hung on with fear and trembling. The middle is a nowhere place without anything to guide. There’s part of me wantingContinue reading “Stuck in the middle…”

Tranqility…

A photograph from friends who are on holiday in Grand Canaria .A real sense of tranquility and peace. When Apollo 11 landed on the moon in July 1969, the area it landed on was named Traquility base. What a powerful word for the heading of this blog today. It can be a very transient wordContinue reading “Tranqility…”

Drifting…..

I’ve been doing a lot of drifting over the past few months. Both inwardly and outwardly! Getting lost in a moment of reflection, but unable to express what is really going on in my heart and soul. Many changes and challenges, including my Mum’s death. Seeing the world change in Ukraine and all the uncertaintyContinue reading “Drifting…..”

Seeing clearly..?

Mist in a valley and trees in the foreground. A hill in the distance, creating an illusion of floating on a cloud. Seeing clearly does not always help us. Sometimes we see through a fog of limited understanding. Being human in other words!!! Here are some words of the apostle Paul, which speak about theContinue reading “Seeing clearly..?”

A space

Hermit’s cell? Place of pilgrimage? Offerings? Ruin? Place of rest? Focus of prayer? Stopping place? Spiritual charging point? It could be any of the above and much more! Where is your stopping point during your day? Allow God’s love to surround you and let the Holy Spirit connect with your spirit. Peace be with youContinue reading “A space”

Seeing……

….is believing! But what does it all mean? I took this photograph a couple of years ago. Staged and offered to you now. It’s got something to do with faith and how we see or perceive our world. We each of us take our own journey, and faith can be an important ingredient. The photographContinue reading “Seeing……”

Hanging on

Sometimes, life feels like ‘hanging on’, just like the branches in the photograph. The sense of being moved and shaken by internal and external forces or influences I mentioned last week that my Mum was hanging on to life. Amazingly she is still with us! Still not ‘out of the woods’, but carrying on. InContinue reading “Hanging on”

Storms….

As I write this, we await a new set of storms bowling in from the west. Living a stone’s throw from the North Sea we await the next arrival….with some trepidation! It makes me think about that sense of ‘living on the edge’, However that happens in your life. There is the profound sense ofContinue reading “Storms….”

How can it be…?

….that thou my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love; can it be true? The words of Charles Wesley. Reaching into our hearts and souls. The enormity of the depth of God’s love which is utterly boundless, I am truly lost for words. My Mum is in the latter stages of her life but IContinue reading “How can it be…?”

Walls….

The LORD is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? Psalm 27, verse 1 Enough said by the Psalmist, but very difficult to integrate into our everyday lives! We have those moments of trembling in our everydayContinue reading “Walls….”
