The very beginning of my travelling fun this Christmas.
Thoughts on 2016
A glance back at the last 365 days in the life of Rachel.
Remind Me of Christmas
“Dear world, there’s intense bombing right now. Why are you silent? Why? Why? Why? Fear is killing me & my kids. – Fatemah #Aleppo” A reflection on Christmas in the midst of the tweets coming out of Syria.
Brief Pause at Home
Back in Brum for a week.
As long as it is called ‘Today’
Hebrews 3 + 8.
As long as it is called ‘Today’, may I live by faith.
Advent – rest, celebration, action
I love the sense of expectation and hopefulness in this month – a sense of expectation with which days on the calendar are slowly crossed off and doors of advent calendars are opened.
How Today Was
What a gospel! And what a good end to the month of November and the season of autumn, here’s to advent!
Michaelmas Term 2016
Another term closer to finishing my degree. What a term it has been!
Your Spirit is like Laughter
Thoughts from time this morning in the CICCU 48 hour prayer room.
When the Cracks appear
So let the cracks appear. Let the worst of us bring the best. Let our lives be like Laura’s music – glorious mixes of grief and hope, mourning and joy, brokenness and strength. And where our cracks are our grief, mourning and brokenness, may hope, joy and strength shine through.
Bridgemas is Coming!
I love this time of advent!
Day by Day
Christianity is all about life and death. It is the way to life and the victory over death.And so it is that I have put here some photos of my ‘ordinary’, of my day by day, through which I find and see the extraordinary: the way to life and the victory over death.
