A tulip from overhead particularly stands out and seems to have very fancy petals. I also like how it delicately protects everything within and reminds me how we all need to protect what is precious and special.

‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ ~Philippians 4:13


There is a lovely saying that says success comes in cans and failure comes in can’ts. The stories throughout scripture put the emphasis very much on what we can do. There are enough who will say you can’t or you that you won’t be able to. Thankfully there are still those who believe in us, believe in our ability, believe in our story, believe in our goodness and believe that we are indeed special. There are similar echoes throughout scripture. God believes in us constantly, with no interest in our can’ts and just total belief in everything we can do.
