Marion Van Driel

Marion Van DrielMarion Van Driel delights in her roles as a wife, mother and grandmother; her soul is fed by both composing and composting. Music, words, form and colour are ingredients on which she thrives. She considers her garden a gift where family and friends gather to visit, heal, reflect and celebrate. Called as writer, artist, worship leader, gardener and (sometimes reluctant) follower of Christ, she bears evidence of God’s abundant grace without which she’d be someone else entirely.

Beauty art kingdom: part 3 Beauty and art in worship

March 25, 2022 by Marion Van Driel Leave a Comment

Soul care – the calling of Cathy AJ Hardy

February 12, 2021 by Marion Van Driel Leave a Comment

Self-care comes in many forms, for we are complex creatures housing physical, intellectual and emotional components. We are image-bearers of the living God, made to display His glory.

Our technological devices offer all kinds of games … [Read more...] about Soul care – the calling of Cathy AJ Hardy

A year like no other, a year of discovering blossoms in the wilderness

December 20, 2020 by Marion Van Driel Leave a Comment

The world’s memories of 2020, including Christmas, will forever stand out in history with a kind of bleakness - a wilderness terrain for the whole of humanity. But even in the wilderness, tiny blossoms show up now and then. They convey a kind of hopefulness to move us forward. Thirteen months ago, I took up a new instrument. If anyone had told me I’d ever learn to play the … [Read more...] about A year like no other, a year of discovering blossoms in the wilderness
