About
I am married to Peter and we have two grown sons. And now a new daughter-in-law too! We all live on the Central Coast of New South Wales, 100kms north of Sydney, Australia.
I first learned about what it meant to be a Christian at a camp approximately 40 years ago, when I was about 10 years old. A speaker at the camp told me that being a Christian wasn’t primarily about believing in a certain set of values or beliefs; it was about having a real relationship with God himself, which Jesus made possible by dealing with the problem of sin with his sacrificial death on the cross. It was also in that meeting that I heard about the Holy Spirit for the first time. This message of Christianity made perfect sense to me.
While the speaker was still giving her message, I slipped out of the meeting and prayed a simple prayer asking Jesus to be the Lord of my life. I also invited the Holy Spirit into my heart. At that very moment, and ever since, I have experienced the new life that Jesus offers to every person on the planet who entrusts their life to him and makes the decision to follow him.
The Gospel message of Christianity still makes sense to me as I keep learning, and as my relationship with God deepens. It continues to resonate with every fibre of my being. I love talking, singing and writing about my Christian faith to whoever cares to listen. I am involved in speaking, singing and writing to children, youth and adults, in various settings and media.
I am also interested and involved in discussions about Women in Ministry and Biblical Equality. My story of how I became convinced of biblical equality is here. (This article also contains some of my views on topics related to gender equality.)
My personal vision statement is: “to be conformed to the image of Christ” (Romans 8:29), which unfortunately won’t happen in this lifetime, but it will happen (1 John 3:2).
My personal mission statements are: (1) “to be as close to God as I possibly can be, to follow Jesus devotedly and obediently, to be filled with the Holy Spirit as much as I can be, and encourage others to do the same,” and (2) “To be a Kingdom agent wherever I am.”
I hope you will take the time to look through some of my articles – maybe listen to a song – or use my Bible Study notes.
My hope is that this website will help people to find God and live the new life that Jesus offers.
