He Is Faithful Ministry

Google memories showed me this today, wow!!! 17 years married this Feb 4th and this from November 11, 2018.💙 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!" 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 long time and life felt so disconnected from the community we knew and loved. 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

I just have to stop and thank God out loud for this man He gave me — and our three precious children too.

Living with disorders? It’s hard. Really hard. Some day it's like I'm carrying a storm inside me. But this man? Sweet mercy, Jesus knew exactly what I needed in a partner for life and a father to our kids.

He’s strong in the quietest, steadiest way. Patient when I’m anything but. Loyal like it’s his very heartbeat. Honest even when the truth stings a little. And the way he loves me… oh, it reaches all the way down to the messy, ugly-cry, can’t-get-my-words-out parts of me. I don’t have to pretty myself up or hide the hard stuff. I can just… be. Raw. Real. Falling apart. And he still looks at me like I’m the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen.

This world can feel so big and cold and lonely sometimes, you know? Like you’re shouting into a void and no one hears. But if you’ve got someone who makes you feel safe when everything else is shaking — someone who feels like coming home after the longest day — then pause right now and thank the Lord for that gift.

And then… tell them.

Look them in the eyes (or text them if that’s all you’ve got energy for tonight) and say:

“You are my safe place. My soft landing. My reminder that God still does miracles. Thank you for loving all of me — even the parts I wish weren’t there. You’re my biggest blessing, and I’m never letting go of that truth.”

Because they need to hear it too.

You’re not alone in this hard, beautiful, broken, redeemed life. And neither am I.
Thank You, Jesus… for him. 💙🙏

Over these past months, more doors have opened for real community in my life, and I’m deeply thankful for it. 🙏🏽 It’s been ages since I’ve felt this kind of connection, and belonging. God hears when we turn to Him, He sees, and as we keep seeking Him, He gives us the desires of our hearts.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
— Psalm 37:4 (NIV)

That truth has been sinking in deeper lately—we’re designed to do life together, encouraging and building one another up.
“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (ESV)

What’s been filling my heart most is the simple, steady stuff: checking in with friends and family, sharing the honest parts of life (not just the pretty ones), praying through hard days and good ones.

One Sunday at kids church stands out from these months. It was a joy to serve alongside my own kiddos and some wonderful neurodiverse little ones. The activities were thoughtful—building listening skills while exploring God’s huge love for each of us and how He speaks to every heart in its own unique way. The team was incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. When my little ones looked up and asked, “Mummy, why are YOU here too?” it gave us me the sweetest chance to talk about helping others and serving side by side.

Kids absorb so much just by watching, and I pray they caught a glimpse that day of what loving God and loving people really looks like lived out. Those moments recharge me completely.

Another morning that stayed with me: bringing my little girl to playgroup while I volunteered. She shadowed me the whole time, asking her innocent 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 I asked, “Shall we help put the toys away together?”
She grabbed a ride-on toy and carried it back to the storage room herself.

Little exchanges like that touch me deeply. They’re such a gentle way to show her that community means giving a bit of ourselves—helping, serving, making space better for others.

Lately this verse keeps surfacing:
“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’s the heartbeat of these past months for me—grateful for the openings, committed to showing up and serving where I can.

What about you? Has there been a desire God’s placed in your heart recently that brings you genuine joy? I’d love to hear if you feel like sharing. 💖

My beautiful girls! 🥰🥰 After another near trip to a&e with my youngest for holding poo and wee in all day, my eldest whispered in my ear, maybe you could pray for Avary to feel better. I said, I'm on it sweet girl. I pray for you all every day, because we all need Jesus to love us, guide us and watch over us, even on the good days. Great news, Ava did let it all out, finally, after praying.

Moments like this remind me, God's with us and speaking to us and through us in the most precious ways. 🙏💖

Want to know something really special (and yes, super Kool) about me and my two youngest kids? We were all fearfully and wonderfully made by God... and we share Koolen-de Vries syndrome (KdVS).

Life with KdVS brings real challenges—learning difficulties, developmental delays, hypotonia (low muscle tone), anxiety, and more. Some days are extremely tough, no doubt. But by God's incredible grace and unending love, we also love fiercely, smile BIG, and keep pushing forward with joy in our hearts and unshakable faith that God's got us. That hope carries us through today and lights the way for our future. 💙

A huge Valentine’s Day hug and so much love to every Kool family out there—you're not alone. We're stronger together, celebrating every victory, big or small, and lifting each other up.

To the Kool community: Keep shining your unique light! God sees you, loves you deeply, and has a beautiful purpose for each of us. Happy Valentine's Day—sending extra love, prayers, and virtual hugs your way! 🫂❤️
