I’ve only read The Hiding Place once or twice, but it is a book that has stuck in my memory quite vividly. Some books you read and forget, but not this one. While The Hiding Place certainly was anything but a pleasant, feel-good read, I’m super glad that I read it. How God worked in Corrie and her sister Betsie’s lives was …
Last week we had two lots of international visitors stop by 😀 One lot was my uncle and cousin from Germany (so exciting to finally meet my cousin!) and the other was someone from America. We took both lots on a tour of our farm in typical Compton style–on the back of our farm ute. I LOVE riding on the …
Some days you just can’t help but sing and smile all day long! 😀 Yet other days, everything seems to be falling in around you. 🙁 But it’s through trials that God strengthens and refines us. If we look hard enough, even on the hard days there are many things to be thankful for. At the top of the list …
I’ve been planting some herb seeds for my herb garden, since spring is definitely in the air!! Warm, sunny days are here with the sweet smell of blossoms and bright yellow wattle. 😀 Here’s what my herb garden looks like at the moment: I know!

Just what exactly is inside the cover of Jayne’s Endeavour (and future novels)!? Last week I covered what you won’t find inside my books. So now in brief, here’s what you can expect! Inside my novels pages, you’ll find believable characters that you can grow right alongside—all while having extraordinary adventures. 😀 Here’s what else: ♥ Mystery, adventure, intrigue! ♥ …

But bear with me! 😀 The post with what is included is coming soon. 😉 So without further delay, here’s a look at what you won’t find in Jayne’s Endeavour …
Today I wanted to share with you one of my favourite songs. In the above video it’s performed by my piano teacher and fellow author, Amanda Tero and her sister, Elizabeth. “Bow the Knee” has been one of my favourite songs since I first heard the Tero sisters’ video on Youtube! I even purchased the sheet music so I can …
Thanks so much Ryana for tagging me for this blog tag! I got quite a surprise since I hadn’t officially launched my website when you tagged me! 😉 Even though it’s Spring here in Australia, I thought I’d go ahead and do this Autumn themed blog tag–after all Autumn is my favourite season 😀 So first up, here are the …
