Wintering

04/07/202307/07/2023 Steph Penny 6 Comments Counter-culturalism, Surviving Chronic Illness, Surviving Worship Ministry

Look to the animal kingdom. They know what to do when the cold weather sets in. They know instinctively how to respond when the icy wind whips through the streets and under our doors, slicing through our clothing like knives, making us shiver with the effort of keeping warm.  The animals have a plan when […]

The Need for Silent Night 

16/12/202216/12/2022 Steph Penny Leave a comment Surviving Chronic Illness, Survivng Childlessness

Everyone is talking about self-care this Christmas. For each of us, self-care will look different, depending on our personality, holiday plans and personal circumstances.  Personally, I am living with childlessness and chronic illness. (And a cat. So it is not all bad.) Which begs the question: how does a person with grief and sickness celebrate […]

Unto Us a Child is Born…

These might sound like rhetorical questions, but I genuinely want to know. Because when I was single and lonely and frustrated about it, I was flooded with […]

My Prayer for You

21/05/202121/05/2021 Steph Penny Leave a comment General writing, Survivng Childlessness

There’s a lot of prayer involved in writing.  I pray when I write. It is my prayer that God will use my words, my turns of phrase, to reach people who need to hear from him.  Sometimes, when I write, I sense the Holy Spirit nudging me, prompting me to use certain language around the […]

A Glimpse of Serenity

05/03/202105/03/2021 Steph Penny Leave a comment Counter-culturalism, Worship

I love Jacaranda trees. When I was growing up, one of our houses had a glorious Jacaranda tree in the backyard. Its branches stretched over a large part of the lawn, and every spring our backyard became blanketed in purple.  The sight of a Jacaranda tree still gives me the warm fuzzies. Especially when in […]
