As we write this latest blog post we’re excited to share news we’ve been longing to bring you. Since we said goodbye to our little Lentil, we’ve been praying that we would in time be blessed with his little brother or sister. And that time has come. Baby Moore is expected in September. For weeks we’ve…

The move from one year to the next is often a time for reflecting on the highs and lows of the last 12 months and thinking about changes that could be made in the next 12. It can be a time of celebration, but it can so easily become a time of beating oneself up.…

Throughout Advent I’ve been posting a photo a day to make up my very own #SocialMediaAdventCalendar. One photo and one Bible verse a day for 24 days; that simple. And today, Christmas Eve, I’ve brought them all together here so you can catch up if you missed them or recap if you didn’t. Here’s wishing…
