Before ‘Mind’ runs out.

What  a crazy world we are living in. So many sad stories, of not only Covid related deaths, but it feels like a harvest of the best souls, some sudden and some expected. Going into 2021 feels a little more ‘eerie’ than any new year before. Unprecedented times, making even our familiar safe places, like church, unavailable or different in manner. No weekly hugs, smiles and affirmation of love on a personal level, to fuel you up for the week ahead. Living alone in this wilderness, I am sure is one of the hardest sufferings, maybe leading to mood swings, depression and lethargy.  FaceTime is indeed a Blessing, the odd text messages, the ‘old fashioned‘ card through the post, the shy smile from a stranger at a safe distance on a nice fresh walk, these all pep us up, but the days can be long. We are created I am convinced to be among others. We thrive sitting with friends, for a lovely cup of tea, a biscuit and a good chat. Lots of giggles, building us up, filling us with that ‘fe...

 At 25 years of age I opened my heart to Christ in a road to Damascus conversion. From that moment until last Tuesday, 12th of January 2021, I trusted Jesus implicitly for 33 years. It was after 7 years of walking with Him, getting to know Him. Recognising when he spoke to my heart, prompting me, reassuring me, guiding me. That our first storm hit. Our Christ and King humbled Himself, preparing me beyond measure. When the tidal wave of grief came, I had already battened down the hatches. I was strangely ready. He had shown me He had sorted out the finer details, years before. Just days before, the small hints appeared like a weather warning on the tv forecast. ‘Here deep in your heart, will be a pain so great, I will hold your heart in mine. Many will Pray, When the wave washes over you I will pick you up so you don’t fall, I will hold you safely in my arms, until the waters subside and the ground is firm enough to place you back down. Then I will take your hand gently yet securely...

 I have 48% charge on my iPad. This could be 47% more than I need, as this may be the shortest blog, as feeling so very sad, or I may have to plug it in, if I get going..and you may be asleep by the end.  Starting the daily blogs when I did, did not seem that wise, but on hindsight for me it has been therapeutic, and the timing perfect. Daily, is no longer significant, more ‘when the writing comes’. Maybe this will be the habit forming and focus I require to get a book written. Many of you know the book I have wanted to write for many years, and it remains in my heart and head. It is the one titled “I don’t believe it, co-incidence or God”.  As the years progressed and I exclaimed so many times I don’t Believe it, the more chapters merged into volumes. I do believe Our Lord has done it all, but it is ‘unbelievable.’ I have always wanted to write the facts, and for everyone to decide themselves co-incidence or God. Sadly they all remain locked away in my thoughts, not on p...
