Above All Love: A Foundation of Faith Dear friends in Christ, Welcome. This space exists for one reason: love — the love of God poured out in Jesus Christ, the love we are called to extend to one another, and to the world. There are many voices clamouring for our attention. Here, you will find the rhythm of one heart seeking to follow the way of Love — a faith rooted not in tradition for its own sake, but in the living, active, self-giving love at the heart of the Gospel. Three truths have become my anchors. The first is the Living Word. Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh. Apart from Him, the true God cannot be fully known. In Jesus, we see the face of a God who is Love, and whose Gospel is the path of Peace. The second is the Gift of Grace. Salvation is found by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. Grace is a gift — unearned, freely given, and life-changing. The third is the Way of Love. It is our joy and our calling to follow Him. Thou...

Day 5 – Walk for Autism 2026: Over the Halfway Line 👟♾️

-
Image
Five days in. And that means we're over halfway. There's something that feels significant about that — crossing the midpoint of a challenge. Monday has arrived, the weekend's slower pace is behind us, and the week stretches ahead with a little more structure. For those of us who are autistic, that can actually be a relief. Routine is a friend. After a quieter Sunday, today felt like a return to rhythm. One step at a time, one foot in front of the other. That's really all any of us can do, isn't it? Not the whole eight days in one go — just today's steps, today's effort, today's small act of showing up. I've been thinking a lot about why this walk matters — not just the fundraising (though every penny is genuinely needed and appreciated), but what it represents. Walking is ordinary. Everybody does it. And yet, for families like mine, ordinary life carries an extraordinary weight. The sensory load. The waiting lists. The appointments. The a...

🕍 Monday — Righteous Fire

-
Image
"My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves." — Matthew 21:13 Jesus walked into the temple and turned over the tables — not in a tantrum, but in a declaration. Holiness matters. Worship cannot be reduced to commerce, and God's presence cannot be auctioned to the highest bidder. He still walks into the temples of our hearts today, looking for what we have allowed to crowd out the sacred. What tables need turning in us? Image from Christians Unite

🌿 Palm Sunday Devotional

-

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey." — Zechariah 9:9 The crowds spread their cloaks and waved their palm branches, expecting a conquering warrior on a warhorse. Instead, heaven's King rode in on a borrowed donkey — not with a sword drawn, but with arms open wide. This was no political revolution dressed in armor; it was a divine rescue mission wrapped in humility. The same hands that flung stars into the sky held no weapon, sought no palace, commanded no legion. He came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. Every expectation the world had of power and greatness, He quietly, deliberately turned inside out. No crown, no throne, no army — just a donkey and a King who came to give His life for the world. He still turns the world upside down. Will you? *Image via Instagram: @saltandlightwords Two w...

Day 4 – Walk for Autism 2026: A Quieter Day 👟♾️

-
Image
Not every day looks the same. And that's okay. Today is Sunday, and it's been a slower one. Fewer steps on the tracker, and anyone who knows me will understand why — it's been a sensory overload day. The kind where the world feels turned up a little too loud, where everything needs a little more processing, and where the kindest thing you can do for yourself is simply rest and be gentle. There's something quietly fitting about this, actually. This is exactly what the walk is about. Not a highlight reel of easy miles and perfect days — but the honest reality of what it means to live as an autistic person, in a neurodiverse family, doing your best. Some days you hit 10,000 steps before lunch. Other days, you count the steps to the kitchen and call it a win. I'm still walking. Just more slowly today, and closer to home. The challenge doesn't demand perfection — and neither does grace. What matters is that we keep showing up, in whatever way we can, on w...

A Sunday reflection on a week that moved — literally and figuratively. Week 10 has been one of those weeks where everything seems to happen at once. Official Walk for Autism week kicked off, a new set of car keys changed hands, and somewhere in between all of that, life kept its ordinary rhythm of prayer, fidgets, and Finch check-ins. Here's how it all looked. 1 · Volunteering Walk for Autism — Official Week Begins 🦶 It's here! Official Walk for Autism week has started and the steps are happening. There's something quietly energising about knowing that every walk this week has a bigger purpose behind it — each one adds up, and each one counts toward something real. 2 · Fitness Nature Walk With Walk for Autism week in full swing, there have been lots of steps this week — and the nature walk element fits right in.

Day 3 – Walk for Autism 2026: Finding the Rhythm 👟♾️

-
Image
Three days in, and something has shifted. Day 1 was excitement. Day 2 was determination. Day 3? Day 3 is where it becomes a rhythm. The steps are no longer something I have to think about — they're just part of the day now. Out the door, one foot in front of the other, and the miles take care of themselves. There's something almost meditative about it. As an autistic adult, I find a lot of comfort in routine and repetition, and there's a quiet joy in knowing that today, like yesterday, and the day before — I walked. I kept going. That might sound small, but for anyone who knows the particular weight of sensory overload, anxiety, or simply a world that isn't always built with you in mind, keeping going is never really small. We're nearly halfway through the 8-day challenge now, and the steps are stacking up beautifully. The fundraiser is doing the same — thank you to every single person who has donated or shared the page. You are quite literally helping keep places l...
