  • The Mustard Seed Podcast: Why I Blog

    Hi readers (soon to be listeners)! I have finally been able to record my very first podcast with the help of my tech-savvy husband! Really excited to share it with you. It is a new endeavor and it will take time to shape, but I hope you will ‘tune in’…

  • Lessons from a Shape Sorter

    Most of us would have played with a shape sorter at some point in our lives. As tiny tots we tried to push the different shapes into the holes. We gradually noticed that there was one shape for one hole. Trial and error helped us to figure that out. As…

  • What Does A Beetle & The 7/7 Bombings Have In Common?

    Today I came face to face with my fears. I came across a giant beetle in the house, minding its own business. Normally, it is spiders in the house that instill fear within me. They get my heart racing. I sweat. I cry. I tremble. Turns out it’s not just…

  • Just To Say…

    Just a short post to say how awesome our God is. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. My heart is overjoyed to be in His presence and care – always. He is here. He is my refuge, my strength, my shield and my song. Listening to the still,…

  • When Life Gets Too Much

    A woman is crying tonight. She has been up since five in the morning with bags of tiredness hanging from both eyes. She is exhausted when she wakes up, and barely able to carry on by the evening.  Every day is the same routine. Get up. Get showered. Get dressed.…

  • Manic Street Preachers.

    Have you ever seen a street preacher? Some carry signs that say ‘Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near’. Others hand out leaflets or offer healing on the street. I have seen a few who threaten the general public with the prospect of hell if they don’t accept Christ…

  • Cancer, Cardiac Arrest and Continued Faith

    There are some things (more like many things) that I just don’t understand about life. I know that I am not alone in thinking this. We all get thrown curve balls. Perhaps in our jobs, our health, our relationships, our faith among other things. Stuff just doesn’t work out how…
