About Me

I’m a writer, currently a support worker, a mum of two, married to Jesus (no, really I am, except we call him Jay and he’s Latino not Jewish!), daughter, friend and owner / servant of a very fluffy cat!

I feel closest to Jesus with a pen in my hand and love to write about the treasures He reveals in His Word and His world. My life has been a hotchpotch journey of different roles as I have tried to follow God’s leading, working for charities, businesses, a church, in admin, management, on the frontline and being mum. Life’s challenges have come and gone, my focus has waxed and waned, but throughout it all, He has been my constant, faithful at every step and His kindness has drawn me back time and time again. I have recently felt His nudge to pursue both Him and my love of writing, and so have started this blog in celebration of the treasures I find!

I have discovered that Jesus’ rest for my soul is what I need more than ever in a turbulent world, and that sometimes I need reminders of what our hope really is and why it does actually change everything. Since turning to Him more for my help and hope, ‘looking up’ if you like, I have found that everything else – my perspective on life in general and my hope for the future, has also started looking up. So if you, like me, long for a renewed sense of hope and wonder, and strength for the here and now, then maybe this blog could be the encouragement you need to carry on.

Thanks for being here.
