I realised, in the last week, just how much I love to create things! Sure, I always enjoyed making things – wrapping gifts, writing a poem or a song, designing and making a dress, but now I felt an even greater joy in the process of creating.

Chapter 5 is the final chapter in the book of 1 Peter. In the last 5 sessions of this series on 1 Peter, we meditated on the reward of Christ, holiness, love, submission and suffering. In this last chapter, we have a final word to bring it all together in the context of the church … More 1 Peter P6 – Leadership and Submission to God
The walls of my room are getting a little make-over. I have been taking down what has accumulated of many years spent snuggling up in blankets, early morning sketches, and middle of the night revelations.
