The waking world greeted me as I emerged from the recesses of the hospital’s emergency department. I walked out alone against the flow of beginning workers – people in uniforms, the sleepy-eyed and yawning, the fresh-faced, already showered gym enthusiasts, and the patients tousled from a sleepless night. It had been raining and the air … More The Last Nights
A friend reminded me of something this week. They sent me a little message to share where they were at in their journey with the Lord, and the Lord caused me to remember. I was walking back to my car at the end of nightshift when I read the message. As I placed the keys … More The Greater Battle
I have been looking forward to my month of nights covering the pediatric ward and it hasn’t disappointed. There’s something really special about being awake and engaged with the Lord at night. So many people in the Bible had incredible encounters with God at night – Daniel received many visions, and Samuel said, “Here I … More Nightwatch
Reading the gospels, I see how much Jesus loves to teach. The way He teaches others, and speaks to them shows so much of His character! Here are some things I notice about the way Jesus teaches: He asks a lot of questions He is really interested in people’s stories He backs up His words … More Jesus, the Good Teacher
We watched some old family videos over Christmas. One of the very first clips was of a little me singing “Jesus Loves Me”.

I recorded … More Testimony, Hiddenness and Tools on Earth
I have just published my first eBook, “An Internship with Jesus”. It was not specifically planned, it just happened. In the last couple of weeks, I have had my annual leave. For the first part of it, I visited my husband at his country workplace, mostly spending the evenings with him when he came back … More Introducing “An Internship with Jesus”

He shares his thoughts below: Medicine teaches us that illnesses have a strong genetic factor, both in physical, and mental health. One common example is cystic fibrosis where the defect in the CFTR gene … More Born into Suffering? (Thoughts from J.D)
Here we are – just two weeks into working life, internship at the hospital. I wondered how it would be starting work – what different time commitments I might have, how busy I might be, what attitudes I could encounter, and how I might serve the Lord through actually doing medicine. Here, two things I … More Doctoring with God
“If God is so good, and you so desire to be with Him always and forever, then why not die and join Him in heaven now?” This is a question I have been asked multiple times, by different people, in the last couple of months. Some people are very direct; I’m currently on a psychiatric … More To Live or Die?
I’m currently on my surgical internship rotation. During one of the tutes, we learnt about management of shock when a person is actively bleeding. “You need to fill before you squeeze,” the surgical fellow reminded us.
