  • Grateful

    I am so thankful to God for this ministry, ‘permission to pause’. I started listening almost 2 years ago just after the birth of my 4th baby in lockdown.

    This ministry has given me the space I needed to pause and ‘get quiet’ with Jesus in the midst of my busy life as a mum.

    Thank you Pat, I will forever be thankful!
