Advent 3Advent 2. I look for the wonder, the ways the God who came close has come to me today. Dawn. Writing down a story of transformation in my thoughts and outlook of life. Sharing it with my spiritual direction course mates. Feeling the hope of congruence, the joy of freedom and the constant thread of the never stopping, never failing, never giving up love of the Maker, presence, One who comes deeply close to us and wraps us in love, welcome and acceptance. #advent #hope #findingthewonder #emmanuelAdvent 1. The start of the waiting. The looking for the coming of Immanuel in this world. The One who has come and will come and the One who we look for each day.And the advent calendar is up. Traditions which we started long ago (9 years this time around) which hold us to who we are and which root us in the story of our lives. We piece together the story each morning, joining the jigsaw of the nativity scene together. The shepherds are waiting, Mary and Joseph are waiting, the stable is waiting and we join them. We wait for Christmas. We count down the days and in the waiting we look for light, hope, possibility and the One who infuses all this world with meaning and strength to keep walking on in love and grace. #advent #adventcalendar #traditions #christmas #hellodecemberPonderings from my slow Saturday afternoon.

On being extraordinarily kind to my soul
A good friend told me at the start of this week to make sure it was full of things that were extraordinarily kind to my soul. Which led me to a place where I wanted to write down all those … Continue reading

Books that I’ve read March-May 2020
Right, I’ve finally managed to write down which books I’ve read over the last 3 or so months in lockdown. My brain is fairly made of mush at the moment so I haven’t written comprehensive reviews, but here’s a flavour… … Continue reading

I think the Friday round up will continue into 2018. Because, well, somethings shouldn’t change all that much. And it’s good for my head to know I will make myself write at least once a week. It’s Friday lunchtime and … Continue reading
