Finally I See

Everyone has had scars. A time back when you were little you fell over and hurt yourself days down the line the wound healed but left a scar. It was always the deeper more serious wounds that stayed for years, even though the event was when you were weeny you still look back on that scar and the memories haven't left the feeling of the pain and how it happened. Sometimes the memories behind those scars even bring us shame and hurt today. Childhood scars are not all that serious when we know it was caused by riding our bikes to fast, scrapping our legs on the pavements etc, we get over them soon enough and tell of our careless fall and even laugh at the memories even though at the time we cried. However, as we continue in life some scars are more serious than others. Some scars we would rather hide than it bring back memories of the pain of a traumatic experience, one we don't want to remember or share. These scars were perhaps made through abuse bullying or the phys...

There are many times in life when we go through things. Some of these times feel worse off than others. We cry & at times let anger build up due to the disappointments, delays & defeats. But I truly believe that the time for overcoming, rejoicing, smiling again will be knocking at our doors very soon, if not today. Having the RIGHT attitude to endure, with the strength of God & the power to overcome makes everything you go through feel a little bit worth it. I do believe that everything happens for a reason, the explainable and unexplainable, especially when at times some reasons seem clouded. 'Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy' . Psalm 126:5 The verse above kept coming in remembrance to me a couple of times throughout November 2014. I felt it was God trying to reassure me that despite what we go through He is ever so present to be our Strength to carry on, our Defender when accused & our Helper when in need. To reass...

Some of you may have come across this above iconic symbol and wondered what it is all about. As you stood or walked down the escalators at the train station, it smiled at you. As you sat on the train it looked at you wanting your attention. As you paid for your groceries it waved a simple hello at you as it sat on the counter. But for others you may not have seen it before. So what is this iconic symbol and why would it be posted or advertised everywhere ? This picture above somewhat explains it all....lol well part of it. I guess you can say, it all starts with that one question. Many of us go through life with questions. Sometimes these questions are answered whilst other times they are not. Growing up in a Christian family being told I had to go to Church/Sunday School and abide by certain rules and traditions especially living under my parents roof was very tricky for me. Some will say it must have been an easy life experience whereas I would say it had its...

When living in what you would call an exposed world with the attitude of 'What you see is what you get' , you forget how lost one can be in the mist of it all, expectations seem to run wild both internally and externally.  However, when we do take time to consider what others have and are truly going through, we realise that 'there is more to life than meets the eye' . This month we have a special guest blog contribution brought to you by  Tyson Douglas , a   British television, theatre and film actor born in London , who challenges the above notion and allows you to think into each word he writes through the powerful, but simple examples of a Ballerina and a Chef. Have a read: Love not just the Ballerina, but also her feet. This, along with a series of more graphic related images got me thinking; about how beautiful each of us are, but also how delicate we are too. How on the inside there are marks left from what we've...
