KNOWING HIM: DELIVERER

I just love reading about the different people in the bible that God delivered from all sorts of complex, difficult situations. For example, there was Paul and Silas who God delivered from prison (see Acts 16:23-26). There was also Daniel in the lion's den, whom God delivered from certain death by keeping the mouths of the lions shut! God also delivered David from afflictions; to be precise the mouth of the lion and the paw of a bear! (see 1 Samuel 17:37). These are just some of many stories that you can read about where God came through and brought them out the other side.  God is indeed a deliverer. Just like so many people in the bible, we will all face affliction at some point or another. Where we are hit with a brick wall and we think "now what?". There have been many times in my life where I was stuck in the lions den, the enemy would have loved so much for me to just bow and give up then and there. There is something we can do however: we can withstan

ARE YOU STUCK FOR TIME?

Have you ever felt like there just wasn't enough time to get things done? Been there done that! Prime example: when you started your career, then thinking you could have started this earlier. Or when you went back to uni, then thinking you could have been a student "earlier".

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE HEARD FROM GOD?

Hey SR ladies, It is my prayer this post finds you well in Jesus name. Hearing from God (because He speaks to us every day) is a topic that for many can bring confusion and even frustration. The common question pops up among many: How do I know if I have heard God's voice? There are different ways God can speak to us: through His word, through people or through the Holy Spirit. Even though there is no clear cut answer to this, and there is no formula which we can follow. But there are some points we can be aware of, and questions we can ask ourselves to help us discern if we are hearing from God. When God speaks, it ALWAYS aligns with His word, it will never deter from it. Sometimes when God speaks it makes us uncomfortable, because He could be pushing us to another level and step outside our realm of comfort! A question to ask yourself: Is what I am hearing aligning with scripture? The more time we spend with God and His word, the more we are able to discern what His voice would a

Hypnobirthing: My Experience (SO FAR!)

Hey ladies, Thought I would do a pregnancy related post since I have been lagging behind with them. It is surreal how quickly the third trimester is going for me, getting closer and closer to D Day (anyone else having an Autumn baby?!) I have been busy working from home still and getting the house ready, but I wanted to jump on the blog to share my experience of hypnobirthing so far. Hypnobirthing has been recommended me to by my midwives as well as the mum groups I am part of, and seeing how it has helped so many women I thought it would be a great idea to give it a go! A quick definition of hypnobirthing: Hypnobirthing teaches relaxation and visualisation skills Best explained by NCT, this preparation tries to give pregnant women a positive view of birth. The aim is a shorter, more comfortable, easier labour, with less need for intervention or pain relief. I should say off the bat, that I personally am open to pain relief, medical intervention etc if necessary and if the medical prof
