Every so often, our Pastor talks about Spiritual Growth - and also how difficult it is to measure. He often tells us to look back a year and make a decision based on that. It's partly his job to be concerned about the spiritual growth of his flock and it's something I often ponder upon. 

I'm pleased to say that, in the 5 and a bit years that I've been a Christian, I've seen that growth. It builds year on year so that now, when I look back to that Christmas 6 years ago, when my husband (Mark) and I first attended a service at our local church, I can't believe I'm one and the same person. Well, I can believe it because I believe in Jesus and He is a miracle maker. All things are possible, even enticing me into His Church when I didn't even realise I wanted to go (but I'll save that story for another day!). 

I never want to stand still, so I've made a decision this year to document my Spiritual Journey. I want to be able to look back in a year's time and read about the changes in me, the changes in my life, to reflect on what I've learned, and what I still have to discover. I can feel God moving in my life, and I sense that some changes are going to happen in the next few years to Mark and myself. I want to push myself to learn more, to challenge myself where usually I just sit and accept what I've been told or I've read. I want to delve deeper and take greater responsibility to learn about God, His plans for His people, and the plans He has for me. I'm not worthy of being loved by the great Creator, but I can truly rest in His love for me. He gives me everything I have and need and I hope, through writing this blog, and adding to it possibly a couple of times a week (yeah, right!), that I will be more open to seeing how He is moulding me. 

So, I'm really writing this for me. But if you've happened to stumble across it then possibly there will be something in it for you too. Who knows where He will take us?

The timing of going to church that first time was everything. It wasn't long before Mark and I made the commitment to go each Sunday - as soon as we were reassured that we didn't have the worst behaved children in the area and that, yes, they would be welcomed into the Sunday Club. Funnily enough, one of the very first people that came up to say hello figured out who I was because she recognised my son from when he was younger. She was a childminder and knew who he was from the various toddler groups that she attended alongside my son's childminder. God is so amazing as she is now one of my closest and loved friends (I'm going to need to find a way to get my other church bestie into this blog or she'll get stroppy!).  At that time, I was going through a pretty rubbish time at work. I'd started a new job possibly the year before and had inherited the most challenging class of my entire career. I worked my absolute socks off at the school and made such a differenc

I've just finished reading 'Two Weeks' by Karen Kingsbury. She's a Christian fiction writer and I only discovered her when I had a gift voucher to spend at our local Christian bookshop. In the last few months I've read seven of her novels and I plan to read more.  I'm finding it really refreshing to read a novel where the characters are Christians and their love of Jesus is threaded through their stories. In so many novels, when the main characters are going through their trials and tribulations, they all try to solve their own problems in their own way. Finishing 'Two Weeks' today really made me reflect on what the main characters do when faced with their own trials and tribulations (they have enough of them!) and that's to immediately turn to prayer. It's their first response. I bet that's Karen Kingsbury's first response too. It's not often mine. My first response when faced with a problem is to consider what I need to do to fix it

Hope is Coming I read this book by Louise Blyth a few weeks back but it was such a rollercoaster ride that I didn't feel ready to write about it until now. It was one that I had to keep putting down (hard to read through tears) rather than not being able to put down. But that's a compliment to the emotional power of Louise's words as she tells her story of grief and gratitude. Such an amazing testimony to how God worked in her life, and is still working in her life. The husband and I were watching Songs of Praise about a month or so ago and I caught an interview between Louise and Aled Jones. I was mesmerised by her story - albeit it only a few minutes - and even Aled had tears in his eyes! I immediately got onto one of the besties who happens to be the best personal shopper (#canaanchristianministries). "You need to get me this book!" It was hand-delivered to me just a couple of days later (a far nicer service than you'll ever get from Amazon!).  It took me j
