My work speaks of what God is saying to me as I travel through life; so each aspect of my work has a prophetic slant.

As my little grandson and I walked down the long hospital corridor he became shy or nervous and momentarily hid behind me. Realising something was up, I picked him up and we walked down the corridor with him in my arms; he was safe and happy there. We chatted and, as well as seeing things from my perspective, he was able to look at me too instead of what was ahead; that made things a lot safer.

Thinking about this later I realised that from his perspective, being only a two year old, and the corridor being so long, and with many people coming towards him; towering over him, it would have been a daunting task; and he lost his courage. But being so close to me and in my arms and seeing it from higher up. He had a different perspective: it was doable..

I realise this is a picture of us at times in our lives when the road ahead is insurmountable; it’s just too big to manage and the best thing to do is climb into the arms of God and let him do the walking, and see it from his perspective.

From my perspective though it was a delight that the little thing felt so safe in my arms; it was a moment of intimacy; I was so pleased that this was how he felt. Just maybe that’s how God feels when he is our safe place?

Today the words ‘your life is a symphony’ came to mind and I was reminded of a poem I wrote years back during a wobble… enjoy

‘Under God’s Wing’

'Come to me my child;
lay your head upon my chest.
Feel my heartbeat,
know my rest.

Come to me my child;
nestle under my wing.
The storm will abate soon.
My peace will I bring.

I know how you struggle,
I know that you bring
always your best before me.
Always for me.
Your life is a symphony
your love is a song.
I know that you love me,....and that, my dear beautiful child,
is enough -
for me.'

A few gathered thoughts…

As I think upon life, and the things of God; the expanse of his beauty and goodness,
I notice that I compare myself to others; those more intelligent than I; those more learned; those more gifted. And I have questions! But in truth I am unlimited in what I can understand or know, even when I think I know nothing, because I have the mind of Christ. I am uniquely and divinely whole and complete in him.
I am seated in heavenly places in Christ; I walk there, and worship and commune with God in that place.

I struggled as a child and was labelled as a late developer.
But God had his hand on me, reaching down and planting me just where he wanted me to grow.
He taught me right from my early days - vast and wonderful truths.
He showed me his deep and profound love.
And I grew to understand there was no limit in him.
I saw that it was the Holy Spirit teaching me. Planting seeds of thoughts and ideas from his very heart into mine.
I’ve pondered on them.
They have grown.
He showed me what he wanted me to see
Which was him in me and me in him; a beautiful intimacy; a delightful joy; an expansive realm of understanding in my spirit, if not necessarily in my mind - deep and wonderful truths.
He keeps me safe.
He keeps me on his right path - one of adventure and truth, one of excitement and joy.
Heart to heart, ear to ear, whispered belonging.

‘In You; Yahweh, I find my deep, deep place of fulfillment.’

Welcome to my page. This is just a start; something I wrote during a year of sitting quietly in God's presence whilst savouring Song of Solomon...

A prayer from Song of Solomon

Father, lover of my Soul, I humbly accept that in You I am true Royalty.
May my walk be always graceful in your ways displaying much Dignity.
May I be your true Poetry

Make my spirit overflow from my utmost being - the fullness of you;
never failing to satisfy your heart.
May my womb birth a harvest of wheat;
sons and daughters matured by the purity I impart.

May graciousness be my defining beauty;
shining as a beacon on the hill with great clarity.
Fill my eyes with pure revelation that will refresh and revive many.
Surround me with your discernment,
keeping me safe from the advancing enemy.

Your redeeming love crowns me as royalty.
My thoughts are full of life, wisdom, and purity.
You are held captive by my beauty
and I bring you many delights as my love for you deepens into rich maturity -
a love beyond words.

I stand in victory and I am stately and secure as I pour out my heart to you my King.
Take hold of me with your power,
possess every part of me as I pour out my love to you.
