Last day of pandemic boys at home not schooling. Off to the beach for fun at the park, bikes and scooters meaning I actually got time to talk to my favourite and best over some coffee. 2 days to go. We can do this. And breathe. #beach #blueskies #conversation #coffee #sleepnowpleaseTonight’s activity seems to be making top trumps cards of people the boys know. First up is me. Mummy - Disgustingness - 0 (it was agreed that son2 would score 100) kindness - 100 huggles- 100 Fart smell 10 (out of 10 apparently) and funny - 40 (daddy wins that one with 100, son1 said, it’s just that you’re not that funny mummy... hmm). #toptrumps #atleasttheywrotesomething #rollonmondayRidiculously beautiful world. Soon the sun will rise before I get out of the house but these last weeks of sunrises are proving good for this weary soul. Especially when this line from Karine Polwart’s Four Strong Walls fills me with delight at the nature of my Makers love for me - “I see myself as you see me my friend, oh you put me back together again” #hope #spring #wonder #joy #sunrise #music #balmformywearysoulEven black dog days are made better with sunshine and pretty flowers. Hello spring hope. #blueskies #flowers #hopeSomething is missing... (there was a ramshackle play shed...) now to work out how to fit some trees, wild garden, firepit and seating into this space :) feels like we are moving well beyond early years parenting... #spring #gardenrescue #nextstageofparentingCleared out the garden and found this beauty :) frog or toad? #springcleaning #firstwarmday #springArchives

Weakness pt 4. A Case study.
To help me think through what dealing with weakness looks like in practise I thought I’d dig deep into one of mine. It’s one that still daily affects me but is being worked on by our amazing God. I am a … Continue reading

Weakness pt2 – Some questions for you.
As promised here’s part 2 of the weakness contemplations. This is the one where I ask many questions. Or possibly the same question over and over again: are we really ready to admit to being weak in our churches and … Continue reading

Breakfast with an old friend. Good chats of realising things this afternoon. The unoriginal but yet still unnervingly surprising thought that even in my greatest strengths there will always be weakness, and that is more than ok because my identity … Continue reading
