God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
I once had a MRI scan and I did not know before then that I was terrified of small spaces. The noise and racket from that machine caused me so much fear and panic.
The morning before the scan I set my alarm for 6a.m. but I was awake at 5a.m. Unable to go back to sleep I decided to have a quiet time of reflection and meditation. Jehovah is your name is the song that came into my spirit during that quiet time. I also meditated on the scriptures about God being with us and fighting our battles.
During the noise, racket and fear of the scan, the words Jehovah is your name rang over and over in my head. God is with me, God is with me and he promises to never leave nor forsake me. Deuteronomy 31:6
This is a promise that amidst the noise of our lives and the many voices from the enemy to instil fear that God is present. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Psalm 46:2
When we become still and listen we will hear him speak. He is present in the storm and in the midst of trouble and despair. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
I am a trained Social Worker who currently provides professional leadership on a programme to support Social Work students and Newly Qualified Social Workers entering the Social Work Profession.
Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.
I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.
I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing.

I am a trained Coach and Mentor and I love experimenting with food so I love cooking. I enjoy trying cultural dishes from across the world and I view food as an entry into cultures and languages.
