It's so easy to feel we need to fight our enemies, to put the record straight, defend our reputation or position. Yet every time I have found that if I was just still, the battle would be fought for me. That indeed He would be a foe to my foes, and when they came at me one way, He would cause them to flee seven different ways.
Whoever seeks to discredit you, let them go. When you have done all you can in a situation, whatsoever remains out of your control, let it go. Let It all go, and think no more of it.
I have found it really is true that The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still.

Jo is faith driven with a passion for life and is inspired by simple moments in time that present themselves to us at any given moment. These brushes with life often feel magical or profound, and yet appear in seemingly ordinary environments to the watchful eye and waiting spirit. Sometimes they materialise in the back garden, a street corner, down at the beach while riding the horse, in our dreams or even in a conversation. These moments and conversations often feature in her work. We hope you enjoy.
