Reflections on the surprises of life and faith. I want to break free! May 25, 2016. However, I knew there was a significant problem for Ethan concerning shops from a very young age. I vividly remember taking both my children shopping but Lydia was a tiny baby, making Ethan only about two and a half years old. As I lifted the baby car seat into the trolley, I let go of Ethan’s hand for just a second to undertake this manoeuvre. This was the moment he broke free! I began to bring to mind all the Bible vers...

Reflections on the surprises of life and faith. January 25, 2016. I was an anxious child and my parents came up with a multitude of strategies to soothe my complexities. I recall them saying, ‘remember you’re a Mogford’ (my maiden name). I would smile a bemused expression. What did this mean? Later, due to my parents wisdom, they changed this little phrase to ‘remember you’re Gods special child’. This little saying stayed embedded in my thought bank as I journeyed through life. I didn’t want him to...

Reflections on the surprises of life and faith. Slow down, you move too fast. February 1, 2016. When Ethan was diagnosed with autism at the age of four, we knew from some of his vocabulary that things were difficult for him. His first sentence he pulled together was, ‘ ladies don’t talk’! One particular visitor felt the best way to communicate with Ethan was to shout loudly and slowly at him! At which point Ethan gently walked out the room and came back wearing a pair of ear defenders! As Ethan’s r...

Reflections on the surprises of life and faith. January 18, 2016. When I was twelve years old my biggest fears and worries were fairly narrow. I worried if my French plait would fall out at school, my Mum did an amazing job giving me a face lift every morning while plaiting my hair! As Lydia read the bible, Ethan began to build the scene from Lego. In those moments something was happening, he was empathising and imagining himself as David, he was hearing Gods Word as if he was David. Ethan is hungry for ...

Reflections on the surprises of life and faith. Do you see what I see? April 12, 2016. Sometimes I see two of you and I know you say your eyes are green but they look red to me. These are words from my son Ethan, who due to to his autism often has a very different view of the world. Both the nurse and myself were speechless and yet again the tears welled up as I witnessed Ethan’s purity of faith and his ability to see God in all things. Matthew 5:8 says,. I want to break free! Say what you see. Slow down...

Reflections on the surprises of life and faith. Say what you see. May 4, 2016. I wonder if any of you in the UK ever watched a programme many years ago called ‘Catch Phrase’? I suggest we prayer warriors should ‘pray what we see’. When my son underwent a bone marrow transplant due to having leukaemia twice, his ten weeks of isolation caused us to pray differently. With this in mind we started to visualise his bone marrow and the blood and cells that travel through and around the body. We began to vis...
