A while ago, I mentioned Gandys Flip Flops, the up and coming flip flop company started by two young brothers who lost their parents in the 2004 Tsunami. Money is donated to orphans in India for each pair bought. Here is my pair 🙂

Stepping Up 1 – Pilgrims
So I just started working through a book called ‘Stepping Up’ by Beth Moore. It’s basically a workbook looking at ‘The Psalms of Ascent’ from the Bible (‘Psalms is a collection of songs and prayers). The workbook has downloadable videos to go alongside it. Beth is great at helping people to engage with the Bible…
Sandana
Sandana is a girl I read about today, and I wanted to share her bravery with you. I read a snippet of her story in the book ‘Just Courage’ by Gary A. Haugen (details of the book at the end). Haugen is the President of ‘International Justice Mission’ which is an inspiring charity working to…
After a little while, I return – re-inspired!
So after another LONG break from blogging, I’m back with lots of ideas and inspiration. I recently bought a copy of Company magazine. I’m not entirely sure what its target audience is (maybe a little younger than myself?!) but I have really loved it. It’s so bright and cheery and real! I’m a fan of…
Concerned about the way the world is heading?
Heard the headlines about North Korea? Worried about the destructive direction being taken by those wielding the threat of nuclear weapons? Want to do something about the way the world is heading? Then, whether you’ve done it a million times before, or whether you’ve never done it, join me to pray. Give 5 minutes any…
Amazing coffee!
Just a quick post as I spent a fab lunchtime with my lovely friend Kate at possibly the best coffee house ever! Totally recommend Pinnocks in Ripley – see link below 🙂 http://discoverripley.co.uk/#/pinnocks/4567032107
Let Loose in the World!
Was just reading the story of when the prophet Isaiah was in the temple and God just filled it up with holiness. The room could barely contain his glory and shook as if in an earthquake, and at first Isaiah could not withstand the awesome purity either. It was like heaven had just spilt out…
Love this picture!
Was just looking through our holiday snaps from Rome last year – here’s some graffitti we saw by the river. Loosely translated it means ‘I love you from here until the end of the world and from there to infinity’. Makes me wonder who wrote it and what their story was!
It’s been a while…
OK, so it’s been ages since I’ve updated this blog or my book review blog (www.amysbookcorner.wordpress.com), but during that 2 months, I’ve been reading, watching, learning and growing. I don’t really know where to start, so to sum up my beginning of 2013, here are a few ‘Top 3’s’. Feel free to skip to the…
New Year’s Resolutions?
Love them or hate them, now is the season for making New Year’s Resolutions. Now I am well aware that many people have lost interest in them over the years, whether put off by the commercialisation of fitness fads, the myriad of banale and superficial resolutions out there, or because they simply don’t/can’t/won’t keep them. This morning…
The Spirit of Christmas
This year I am struggling with Christmas. I work in both churches and schools so think double figures of Christmas plays attended, a workload that feels as heavy as a pregnant lady on a donkey, and parties dampened by the prospect of getting up early the next day for assemblies, children’s parties, church services, rehearsals…
Laughs and stuff…
Thought I’d share a lighter post this week. I’ve been super busy in the last few weeks, regularly working late with very little time off, so it’s been especially important to me to be able to have a laugh and find funny, silly snippets of TV to help me relax. Here are some of my favourite finds……
