Beyond the Walls and Roof
​
I didn’t leave my life — I answered a call.
Only a yes and surrender.
I was living in one of Sydney’s most privileged suburbs.
My apartment overlooked the Harbour Bridge.
My calendar was full.
My wardrobe was full.
My life was full of success and noise.
And yet, happiness eluded me.
What followed was not a crisis but a commission.
God asked me to walk away.
I gave everything up — my work, my possessions, my apartment.
I bought a tent and walked into the Australian wilderness with my dog, and the voice that carried me through each day.
For twelve years, I walked.
Through deserts, riverbanks, mountains, and forgotten towns.
I was learning to be still and know that God is God.
The desert stripped away what was not essential and returned my soul.
I no longer wander.
Now I rest in peace and quiet.
Not because I went backwards,
but because I found home.
Within God.
Within myself.
I belong to Christ.
I write about God because He is who inspires me.
This is the life I live.
“Whoever gives up their life for My sake will find it.” — Matthew 10:39
HOME
What I Carry Now
​
I didn’t go looking for these things.
They found me —
in the wilderness,
in the silence,
in the stripping.
Stillness came first.
Heavy. Holy.
It taught me to wait when nothing moved.
​
Then silence — not absence of sound,
but presence without noise.
It settled like a mantle on my shoulders.
Then came mercy,
when I had no one left to accuse.
Then grace, when I saw how often I had failed.
Forgiveness arrived not as duty, but as freedom.
Compassion walked in without a word,
and sat beside my judgments until they dissolved.
​
Healing came slowly — to my body first.
Then the fractures within.
​
Love no longer demanded to be returned. It became who I was.
​
Then came freedom — freedom from darkness, from striving, from needing anything outside to be whole.
And hope — hope stayed when all else fell quiet.
​
And now I dwell in peace and quiet — not just in my surroundings,
but in the centre of who I am.
I used to chase purpose.
Now I carry presence.
What once were lessons are now the furniture of my being.
They live in me — these attributes of Heaven - and they go where I go.
The Tree of Restoration
The Overcoming Pathway
________________________________________
This is the process of overcoming —
written across six books and now gathered into one reflection.
The journey of overcoming is not only a walk of faith — it is the unfolding of a divine pattern.
Each stage of transformation mirrors the life of a single Tree: the Tree of Life restored.
From seed to garden, the soul becomes the place
where heaven and earth meet again.
________________________________________
The Seed — How I Overcame My Own Life (Book 1)
The seed is buried, unseen, surrendered.
It looks like death, but it is the beginning of everything.
I gave away what I thought was my life — my possessions, titles, dreams —
and found that in dying, something holy was being born.
“Unless a seed falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” — John 12:24
Every disappointment became the soil of obedience.
Every loss became nourishment for what was unseen.
The soil of my suffering became holy ground.
________________________________________
The Root — Born to Be Holy (Book 2)
Roots grow where no one can see.
This was the hidden work of consecration —
where obedience replaced ambition, and silence became my teacher.
The world saw nothing happening,
but Heaven knew that the unseen roots were anchoring deep.
I was no longer trying to survive — I was being established.
Holiness began where recognition ended.
________________________________________
The Trunk — Glorified, Resurrected, and His Kingdom Is Here (Book 3)
From the depth of the root came strength.
The trunk grew straight — upright and unshaken.
This was resurrection life, not an event to wait for, but a reality to stand in.
The hidden life within became visible as divine authority.
It was here I learned to carry His Kingdom — not as a concept, but as breath.
________________________________________
The Branches — Christ Revealed in You (Book 4)
Branches reach outward and upward — connection and expression.
Christ began to reveal Himself not only in me, but through me.
The life within the Tree became the life of the Body.
Each branch carried the same sap — the same Spirit.
No competition, no control, only the unity of one life moving through many members.
What I once called separation was now communion.
________________________________________
The Fruit — In His Image (Book 5)
Fruit is the visible proof of the invisible process.
It carries both sweetness and seed — the likeness of the Tree that bore it.
I no longer speak of holiness; I became part of its reflection.
The fruit was not my achievement; it was His nature made visible.
Love, peace, and joy were not things I pursued — they became who I was.
The image of God returned to form in human likeness.
________________________________________
The Garden — The Perfect Story (Book 6)
The Tree became a Garden — one life multiplied into many.
The individual became part of the whole: the Bride, the City, the Kingdom restored.
“And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” — Revelation 22:2
The seed that once died now fills the earth with life.
This is not the end of the story — it is the beginning of the divine return.
The story is no longer about me; it is about Christ revealed through me.
It is His handwriting upon every page of my life —
the Perfect Story He always intended to write.
When the Tree Is Restored
​
“This is not theology explained, but a life transformed — written for those who sense there is more, even if they do not yet know His name.”
​
When the Tree is restored, life flows again where death once reigned.
The breath of God moves through His people as it once did in Eden — not visiting them, but indwelling them.
The ground that once bore thorns now brings forth fruit, and the hearts that once hid in shame now stand unveiled in glory.
Life Returns to the Earth
“And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the Tree of Life… and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” (Revelation 22:1–2)
The Tree restored is not one tree — it is many made one.
Its roots are in the heart of God; its branches reach through His sons and daughters.
The river flows from within them, carrying life into barren ground.
The fruit brings nourishment to a hungry world, and the leaves — their words, their lives, their love — become healing for the nations.
The curse has no language here. Only life speaks now.
The People Become His Planting
“They will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” (Isaiah 61:3)
Those who were scattered now stand as living trees of righteousness — roots deep in holiness, branches outstretched in mercy.
They no longer draw from the world for strength; they draw from the River. They are the planting of the Lord — living reflections of His nature.
They don’t strive to prove their faith; they simply abide and reveal His glory through being.
Eternal Fruit and Unfading Leaves
“He shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season.” (Psalm 1:3)
When the Tree is restored, seasons no longer bring loss — only life .
Fruit comes naturally, in its time, without strain or fear. Their leaves do not wither, for they are sustained by constant flow.
Faith is no longer a struggle but a state of being — a continual yielding to divine life within.
This is rest in motion — the stillness of a soul rooted in eternal supply.
The End of Separation
“To him who overcomes I will grant to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” (Revelation 2:7)
The sword that once guarded the Tree has been sheathed.
Christ, who became the Way, has opened the garden again.
To eat of the Tree of Life is to partake of His nature — to live no longer as a servant reaching upward, but as a son breathing in the same life that fills the Father.
The veil has been lifted.
Heaven and humanity share the same heartbeat.
Heaven and Earth Become One
“The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” (Habakkuk 2:14)
When the Tree is restored, glory doesn’t descend — it rises.
The Spirit fills the sons and daughters until the whole creation begins to respond.
The ground, the wind, the sea, and the stars recognise their Maker again.
The Kingdom no longer belongs to the future; it lives in the present.
This is Eden returned — not as a garden behind us, but as a Kingdom within us.
The City of Light
“The glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.” (Revelation 21:23–24)
The Tree of Life and the City of God are one vision — a people filled with divine light, dwelling in perfect communion.
There is no temple, for the Lord Himself is their dwelling.
They do not visit His presence; they are His presence.
The Bride becomes the City, the City becomes the Kingdom, and the Kingdom becomes visible through His holy ones.
The Eternal Garden
When the Tree is restored, it no longer stands in one place — it fills the earth.
Every heart that abides becomes part of its branches, every word of truth becomes one of its leaves, and every act of love becomes its fruit.
This is the Tree whose roots reach into eternity, whose branches touch every generation, and whose fruit never ceases to bear.
“There shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it… and they shall reign forever and ever.” (Revelation 22:3–5)
The Tree is whole.
The people are one.
The Kingdom has come.
This is the restoration of all things.
