“Welcome Child” he said
“Aslan,” said Lucy, “You’re bigger.”
“That is because you are older, little one,” he answered.
“Not because you are?”
“I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.”
(Prince Caspian)

Pic is of me at Castle Rock, an area close to here where scenes from Narnia were filmed



“Just like Susan from Narnia, you are a queen, stately and regal. And I have given you authority in this land. I am Aslan- a powerful Lion and your King but also I want to play with you, just mess around and DANCE with you!

This land is yours. Stride out. Walk tall. I have called you and you have authority to be here. I will provide. Do not worry. Just pray and press into Me”

These were the words given to me by four godly men praying over me earlier this year. I had sat down with little expectation and just said silently but desperately in my heart… “Lord please romance me ‘cos I’ve just had it!” I hadn’t mentioned this to those praying for me and also they didn’t know that I had come to NZ simply because I heard God say “come and dance with Me”. In fact I had only met them all earlier that day!

Writing that down again, (copying it from my journal!) is great ‘cos I remind myself of God’s LOUD AND CLEAR promises, as most days- I’m ashamed to say- I forget and I just spend the day wondering how much longer I have to do all this on my own (worldly speaking!) and whilst being poor (worldly speaking!) and  comparing myself unfavourably with others (erm… worldly speaking!) I’ve come close recently to quitting, (still am if I’m honest!) But those words are just wonderful.

as for the lambs... well its coming into Spring here now and the little darlings are EVERYWHERE (this being nz and all). Very cute and all wobbly-legged... though perhaps an odd sight in late August .....  Will I EVER get used to topsy turvy-ness!
