What a blessing it is to be a child of God—to be lovingly guided, gently corrected, and faithfully restored when we lose our way. We are never beyond His reach, never too far gone for His grace to find us. In every season, but perhaps most tenderly in spring, we are reminded of God’s guidance …

Quite unintentionally, I had booked a few days away for my husband and me in Croatia—only to realise, rather too late, that our trip fell directly over the Easter weekend.

We went on weekly nature walks and I found that by keeping a nature journal, it encouraged them to do the same. Through this practice, I became attuned to the seasonal rhythms of year. I began to notice slight changes …
I wanted to pop in here very quickly and offer a bit of encouragement for the homeschooling mum. These are blessed and precious times but they can also be times filled with fear, uncertainty, and challenges. As a veteran homeschooling mother, I know these feelings and grappled with the unknown. but through it all I …
