Becoming Fathers and Mothers.

Becoming Fathers and Mothers.

A few months ago, I read Henri Nouwen’s book Return of the Prodigal Son, and it had some really good nuggets of goodness in it, many things to reflect upon. One aspect of the book that really stood out to me, was how Nouwen brought our attention away from just … Continue reading →

Dung Goggles and the New Arithmetic

Dung Goggles and the New Arithmetic

There is only One Judge

I’ve been meditating on Psalm 62 lately. I was pacing up and down the prayer room aisle, one morning this week, and as I read the phrases “For God Alone” and then “He Only”, this entire blog post just welled up from within me and came out in one sitting. … Continue reading →

WELCOME TO MY COZY ONLINE HOME!
I love everything to do with the heart of God and the heart of humanity and the transformation that happens when the two connect. I believe that the heart thrives in vulnerable expression, so that is why I write. ~Alison

About Me | Subscribe via Email

Jesus is my full-time pre-occupation. He is beautiful! As for me, I'm a combo deal of serious and silly, deep and dorky. East meets West. I'm a "plant-roots-at-home" girl and a "go-ye-into-all-the-world" girl. I've followed Jesus all around the world over the years and now He's brought me back to Canada. If my adult life has taught me anything, it's to say "YES" to becoming as childlike as possible in the hands of the Father so He is free to set His love in all its fullness on me.
