About Me

The Thoughts of a Holme.....
I love Jesus.
God is indescribably good.
The Holy Spirit excites me!
Singing is an outlet for joy.
Praise lifts the soul....
...but we have to defy what our soul feels to praise in the first place.
Worship changes things...
...but worship isn't singing!
God is so worthy of the worship. Will we devote our lives to the cause?
Laughing is a life-saver.
Crying is necessary.
Friends are ridiculously precious.
Family are not chosen, but can be embraced as friends!
Talking to oneself is really not that strange. Many a happy hour have been spent arguing with ones thoughts (and imaginary characters with strange accents!)
Purity should not be feared, but desired.
Impurities can always be washed away! They say the blood of a saviour does a perfect job.
If a child tells you it has a sore knee, providing there is no blood, advise him to put a 'wet paper towel' on it. These apparently have healing properties!
To trust is to be vulnerable.
Vulnerability is honest.
Honesty is essential.
I am completely assured that a single woman in a world of men could survive.....if there was enough chocolate!

I played 'Rummikub' with my parents this evening. If you've never played and don't know the rules, you start with 14 tiles with different coloured numbers and by the end of the game, the winner is th...

Morocco!

  Well, it's 7:40pm and an hour or so ago I returned with my mum from a brief, but definitely action-packed adventure in Marrakech, Morocco. I guess the adventure really begins with our internet...

Creation Cries Your Name

    It's in the stillness of the clouds, The newness of each morning, When the earth begins to sing, That I know that you are near.      It's in the silence...

How Can I Worship You Who Paints The Skies?

  You won my heart with the sky and the stars, And I'm awed by who you are. You won my heart with the summers and dawns, And the seas that stretch so far. You won me over with butterflies, rose...

Wind's Nocturne.

Just give up!

Quite often when we feel like we have to 'give up' it's because we've failed at something we were trying to do. We give up on a relationship because it's just 'not working out', we give up on a proje...
