Here’s the funny thing about living by faith. It’s easy to do when you’re in desperate need. When you have nothing else to fall back on, you need faith. But when life is comfortable it kinda goes by the wayside.

I am a 31-year-old mother, living in London with my husband Nathan, our children Reuben (3) and Eva (9mths) and our lodger Ed. We are passionate about establishing small-town style community in the big city and are part of a thriving Christian community. This community is part of City Gates Church, which we have been active members of for over a decade (http://www.citygateschurch.net). I like dairy-free ice cream, "The Sound of Music" and finding new and exciting sand pits.

You can feel more like colleagues working together on an important project than lovers. But it’s important to remember your real relationship. So how do you do that?

Filling Up On The Right Stuff
Most people like the feel of a full fridge, but I like to have an empty one. Why? Is it because I am so super-spiritual that I fast constantly and food is just a barrier to achieving total spiritual purity? Nah, that’s not quite me.

Being a Gracious Parent
I’m not a parent that other parents envy. No one ever wants to swap kids with me. Even a dad who told me that Eva was cuter than his baby gave up any ideas of switching once he’d spent a few hours with her.

Worship From The Sidelines – How To Do Church With Small Children
Like many things I write about, this isn’t something that I in any way have nailed. It’s a learning curve.
