He Is Faithful Ministry

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on our story. I never in a million years would have picked this path for us but praise God for all the good and blessing He's brought out of it: those long 8 years of infertility, the heartbreak of failed IVF, two early miscarriages, and then the Koolen-de Vries syndrome (KdVS) diagnosis for me and two of our three beautiful kiddos. It’s been an unexpected journey—full of tears, questions, doctor visits, therapies, and times where I just felt completely overwhelmed.

But!!! looking back (and forward), through every single tough bit—God has shown up so faithfully. He’s carried us when we couldn’t walk another step, turned our mourning into this unexpected, overflowing joy, and given us more hope and laughter in our home than I ever thought we’d have after everything. What ever is unknown for us, is never unknown to God and in Him, I find comfort and courage.

Our little crew is full of life, giggles, cuddles, and those sweet sibling moments that make my heart burst. He really is a good, good Father—kind, steady, and always weaving something beautiful even out of the parts that challenge us the most. 🩷🙏🙌

Grateful beyond words today for His goodness, and for these precious kids who remind me every day that His plans are way bigger (and better) than mine.

This morning I brought my little girl to playgroup while I volunteered, and it really warmed my heart. She followed me everywhere, asking her sweet questions with those big eyes.

“Mummy, why are you reading a book?”
“Because it’s story time for all the children here, darling.”

“Mummy, why are you washing up?”
“To help keep things nice for everyone else.”

At tidy-up time I asked, “Shall we help put the toys away together?”

She grabbed a ride-on toy to go back in the storage room.

These little moments mean a lot. It’s a simple way to show her that being part of a community is about giving a little of ourselves too—helping, serving, making things better for others. I’m looking forward to trying Sunday school volunteering too soon.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together... but encouraging one another” (Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV).

That verse keeps coming back to me lately.

Let's lift eachother up, with a helping hand and a heart to serve one another. 🙏💝

17 years married today. 🥂💍

With Jesus at the centre, our marriage has grown in strength, grace and love—more than I could have hoped for when we started this journey together.

Through every ordinary day and every hard one, He's been the quiet strength holding us close, helping us love better, forgive deeper, and keep choosing each other.

Here's to the rest of our days. ❤️✝️

When I tell people that I have a rare chromosome disorder, Koolen-de Vries syndrome, and that my two youngest kids inherited it from me—along with speech and language delays—the last thing they expect me to say is that we are living and loving life to the fullest.

But that’s exactly what we’re doing, by God’s grace.

My precious kiddos have taught me something profound: we don’t measure our uniqueness against the norm. We celebrate it as part of God’s beautiful, intentional design. We embrace what makes us different, knowing that being one of a kind is what makes life—and the world—so incredibly beautiful, because every person is fearfully and wonderfully made by Him.

Before becoming a mum, I was consumed by anxiety and a deep fear of the unknown. But for their sake—and mine—I’ve learned to prepare for the future by staying rooted in the present, trusting God’s perfect timing and provision.

I no longer waste energy worrying about what I can’t control. Instead, I focus on what I can control, and I lean into gratitude for every blessing along the way. Shifting my mindset to thank God for every inch of progress, and trusting that He has more goodness in store, has created a life of joy for all of us.

I don’t know exactly what the future holds, but I do know this: God is faithful, and right here, right now, I love, celebrate, value, respect, and cherish every single effort my kids make to learn, grow, and thrive in their own rare and wonderful way.

Every day, by staying present and leaning on His strength, we are building a stronger foundation for their future. And I wouldn’t trade this life, or them—or the way God is using it all—for anything. ❤️

Happy Heavenly Birthday to my dear Dad today. 💙

He's free from every pain and every tear, resting in perfect peace in the presence of Jesus. What an incredible gift—knowing he's whole, joyful, and home where he belongs.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
Revelation 21:4

Missing you, Dad, but celebrating your eternal joy today. Thank You, Lord, for this hope that carries us through.

Google memories showed me this today, wow!!! 17 years married this Feb 4th and this from November 11, 2018... oh my heart! 💙 We married all over again! 😘

My hubby and I stood there renewing our vows, surrounded by the people we love most, promising each other "forever" all over again. And then—bam!—we surprised everyone with the gender reveal. The moment the blue confetti exploded and we shouted "It's a boy!"... I still get teary thinking about the cheers, the hugs, the pure joy exploding everywhere. What a gift from God that day was—celebrating our marriage and the little man He was sending us.
Fast forward through the wild ride of COVID and lockdown... we drifted from church for a while, life felt so heavy and disconnected. But God—He's so faithful, isn't He? He gently called us back, and now we're there as a family of five, all of us loving Jesus more than ever, growing together week by week in our church home.

It still blows me away how He never lets go, even when we wander. Amen... God is faithful to call you home to Him. He did it for us, and I'm so grateful every single day.

Love sharing this little piece of our story with you all. Thank you for being part of our journey! 🙏❤️

He Is Faithful Ministry

After 8 long years of infertility, failed IVF, and the heartbreak of two early miscarriages… our three precious, beautiful children finally arrived—each one a miracle in their own right.

Our son was born with severe hypotonia and jaundice, spending 34 days in the NICU. Today, he carries a diagnosis of Koolen-de Vries syndrome—yet he lives life to the fullest: bursting with love, laughter, energy, and the most delightful mischief that lights up every room.

I spent much of my life bullied and rejected, weighed down by low confidence and the challenges of my own disorders (which my two youngest also share with KdVS). But God turned those struggles into purpose. Now, I pour my days into encouraging others—reminding them they are deeply loved and never alone.

I once feared I'd never find a good man who could truly love me. This month, we celebrate 17 incredible years of marriage with the love of my life—the faithful partner who has walked every step beside me.

Through every trial, delay, and tear, God is faithful. He truly makes all things beautiful in their time.

If you're waiting, hurting, or wondering when your breakthrough will come—hold on and know His promises are true!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

This brought such a warm smile to my face. To read my love for Jesus is reaching another soul in their busy life.

I’ve got to be real with you today… God didn’t knit me together with a academic mind or practical abilities, I have disorders that make those things feel difficult and I’ve often wrestled with that. Wondered why not me? But over time, I’ve come to see the beautiful gift He did give: this heart of mine that aches—in the best way—to wrap around people, to speak life when they’re weary, to remind them they matter so very much.

Every morning, when I sit with His Word, He meets me there. He whispers encouragement straight into my tired places, fills me up when I feel empty, and then… I just can’t keep it to myself. It spills out. Freely. Daily. To anyone who’ll receive it. Because if He never tires of lifting me, how could I ever stop trying to lift others?

This is my calling, my deepest joy: being His hands and voice of hope in a world that can feel so heavy. If you’re carrying something hard right now—maybe it’s loneliness, maybe doubt, maybe just the weight of another ordinary day—please hear this from the bottom of my heart: You are seen. You are so deeply loved. And Jesus? He’s right here, holding space for every tear, every question, every quiet longing. He won’t fail you. He never has, and He never will.

Praise Jesus for being the Encourager who never runs dry—for pouring into us so we can pour out too. My cup overflows because of Him. 🙏❤️

Hey all, 42 years on this journey, and I've finally stopped pretending I’ve got it all figured out.

I'm not a Christian because I'm perfect—goodness, no. I'm a Christian simply because I need Jesus. 💯 Every single part of me, every bit of my life, needs His unending grace just to keep going.

Lord Jesus, thank You from the bottom of my heart for never giving up on me. Even when I've strayed—again and again—You stayed right there, loving this messy woman as I am.

And thank You for every good and perfect gift You've poured out from above: my wonderful family who I love so much (and who love me back, flaws and all!), those few friends who really see me, this lovely church family and community that feels like home. You've blessed me way more than I deserve, and I'm just... overwhelmed with gratitude.
All praise to You, my faithful Saviour. 🙏💜

His mercies really are new every morning. I'm so thankful.
