Asking God "Why?"
What are you grateful for today? If you've read my latest blog post, you'd know that one thing that is helping me to get through the hardship of life is gratitude. I'm not talking about gratitude when we are literally positive about everything in life without truly considering our real feelings. No, that would be toxic. I'm talking about genuine gratitude, which is often hard to find amid hardship, and yet we know that even if our life is full of obstacles and unexpected challenges, every day is a gift beyond measure. Because whilst every day might not be a good one, there still is something good in every day.

Palm Sunday Reflections
Palm Sunday Reflections Yesterday, on Palm Sunday, I found myself with tears in my eyes during the service at our cathedral. As we sang My Song Is Love Unknown, emotion welled up unexpectedly—but not unfamiliar. The words of that verse: “Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine!” — they met me where I was. And they brought the tears. Palm Sunday always carries a weight for me. Thirteen years ago, exactly one week before Easter Sunday, we buried my mum. Click on the link to read more

what did jesus do? offered hope, healing and life
I do not handle salespeople well. This is how much I dread talking to salespeople–there used to be an AT&T Representative with a little booth set up in our local Sam’s Club.

PTSD Survivor Quotes and Stories - PTSD: My Story Project
Katelyn decided to share her powerful story "to tell people that trauma is the very thing God uses to draw us to Himself. To raise awareness that there's hope found in The Gospel. To validate our stories of hardship without minimizing the pain." Read Katelyn's story of being bruised but not broken and be encouraged by her words. "Bruised but Not Broken" is an inspirational story of a trauma survivor encouraging us to surrender to God. As Katelyn writes, "I will surrender to Him as my life span living with PTSD is nothing compared to an eternity spent without it, basking in the beauty of my Savior." Check out Katelyn's powerful story about living with PTSD and chronic pain whilst surrendering to God.
