A complete Bible Quiet Book Project (plus loads of side projects)...

I am sewing my way towards one quiet book page per chapter of the Bible. Lots of tutorials, templates and devotionals included.

Quiet books are fabric activity books designed to help kids be quiet when needed (in church) and practice their fine motor, analytical and memorisation skills whilst learning bible stories in a fun, interactive way.

A Quote To Encourage You:

Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than Falling in Love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, whom you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything. Pedro Arrupe

The Path I Follow

I believe our lives have a purpose. Even if you believe that God could never make anything out of you, I believe He gives each of us a story that is unique and can be used for something beautiful. In my blogs I invite you into parts of my story and how God has used circumstances in my life to draw me into a deeper relationship with Him, to remind me who I truly am, and to grow my faith in Him. My hope is that no matter what season you are in, that you will have a renewed sense of Hope, and purpose in who He created you to be.

A Quote To Encourage You:

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

Bible Weigh Station

We cannot hope to live Biblically unless we learn to think Biblically. Weigh Station is a place to examine some teachings, assumptions, behaviors, judgments. The goal is not to silence, shame, or condemn anyone, but to find what is right and grasp hold of it: “Do not quench the Spirit, do not despise prophesying, but test everything; hold fast what is good, abstain from every form of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22, RSV).

A Quote To Encourage You:

“Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.” -- 1 Corinthians 14:29, NIV

Shout for Joy

Picture1.png

It’s no secret that the world is full of sadness. We only have to turn on the TV, sign into social media, or even look around our own lives to see it.

But God didn’t make us to be sad. He wants us to have life to the full, and deep joy that is not dependent on circumstance.

I’m tired of being told by society that I would be happier if I was prettier, taller, more athletic, more successful, had a nicer home, better hair and better abs, knew more people, travelled more or got married. My joy should not come from any of these things. My joy comes from the Lord, and it should pervade every part of the messy, uncomfortable, hilarious, breath-taking, glorious life He has given me.

I truly believe that what we read and hear impacts who we are and the value we place on ourselves and those around us. In this blog, I hope to do nothing more or less than encourage you. I don’t pretend to be very wise, or even have my own life in any semblance of order, but if I can be a positive noise in the din of your life today, I will be happy.

A Quote To Encourage You:

When you walk through fire you will not be burned (Isaiah 43:2).
