The Unravelling That Made Room

Twelve years on the other side of saying goodbye

Forty moves across three countries taught me that roots were a luxury for other people, and that goodbye was always coming. Then I crossed the world for a new beginning — and watched everything I knew start to come apart.

When a prophecy spoken over a stranger in a blue and white dress becomes the mark carried into the world

26 June 2026

A prophecy spoken over a stranger in a blue and white dress in 1991 became the heartbeat of a ministry logo thirty-five years later — because God never speaks carelessly, and He never forgets what He has promised.

When preparation gives way to presence — and the heart learns to simply receive

19 June 2026

When preparation gives way to presence — and the heart learns to simply receive 📖 "Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established." — Proverbs 16:3 (NKJV) 🕯️ Tomorrow, we gather. I've been sitting with those three words all morning, and I don't think I'll be able to shake them loose. They keep settling back over me, soft and weighty, like a quilt I didn't know I needed until I felt it. Tomorrow, we gather. After months of planning, praying, preparing — after the late...

Plan Your Perfect Paint Party Event: Paint Party Booking Tips

12 June 2026

There’s something magical about gathering around a canvas, brush in hand, with friends or even strangers, and letting your emotions flow through colour and form. I’ve found that paint parties are more than just fun social events - they’re a way to heal, to express, and to reconnect with parts of ourselves that often get lost in the noise of everyday life. If you’ve ever thought about hosting or joining a paint party, you’re in the right place. I want to share everything I’ve learned about...

When the waiting becomes the gift

12 June 2026

When the waiting becomes the gift There's something about a countdown that does something to you on the inside. Seven days. That's all that stands between now and the afternoon we've been working toward, praying over, and pouring ourselves into for months. Seven days — and yet, sitting here this morning, it doesn't feel small at all. It feels like standing at the edge of something beautiful, watching it come into focus at last. On 20 June, eleven remarkable people will walk onto the stage at...

The Art of Sharing Your Story: A Personal Journey Art Therapy

29 May 2026

Sharing your story is more than just recounting events. It’s a delicate dance between vulnerability and strength, a bridge connecting your inner world with others. When I first began to open up through art, I discovered a new language - one that spoke louder than words. This journey of personal expression has been transformative, healing, and deeply human. If you’ve ever felt the urge to tell your story but didn’t know how, you’re not alone. Let me walk you through the art of sharing your...

Some mornings, God speaks before you even know you're listening. This is the story of a birthday wish, two vintage photographs, and the man whose quiet faithfulness helped change the course of my life. Pull up a chair. This one comes straight from the heart.

How God uses speaking to regulate the body, restore the heart, and rebuild connection

22 May 2026

📖 "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death." — Revelation 12:11 (NKJV) Speaking is one of the first gifts we are given — and one of the first to be wounded. Before we learn to write, before we learn to reason, we learn to cry out. Our voices announce need, signal safety, and invite connection. When...
