My Story

I grew up dreamy, passionate and wanting to change the world.  I wanted to be a criminal lawyer since as young as I could remember – because I thought lawyers changed the world.  After lots of study, and a wild ride at University I became a lawyer and for a brief period of time served the beautiful young people of Western Sydney as a Children’s Solicitor.  That’s when my dream changed from wanting to change the world to wanting to change hearts.

I enrolled in Bible College, where I met my larger than life and extremely passionate husband Tim.  In 2002 we married and I joined him in pastoring God In The City Church, in Darlinghurst Sydney. This congregation was to become and still is one of the great loves of our life.

After the beautiful church in Darlinghurst was born, 3 young boys followed.  Sammy, Harry and Elijah.  My gifts from God – the ones who stretch me, challenge me and bring me joy unspeakable.  It is in the context of home with Tim and the boys that I am daily growing and learning the ever challenging yet stunningly beautiful art of love.

From the kitchen bench whilst baby Elijah slept I wrote poetry that was to become The Invisible Tree Series.  A series that came to life with the beautiful illustrations of Henry Smith, and found itself at the bedside of many little ones and even some big ones.

At church I speak out of what God is teaching me.  I love gathering with women (not just because it is an escape from my household of men).  I believe that there is more for women than what we have known, or what we have been shown.  There is something eternal, something beautiful to be revealed as we gather together in the presence of an almighty God – who always has and always will adore women.
