God is going through a period of challenging me on pretty much everything right now, and yesterday it was His Word. Literally – the Bible, more specifically, the Old Testament. My view has always been that the Old Testsment has some great stuff in it, but it’s too complicated to actually read. I’ve always thought…

Song Defining Moment
Have you ever had your weird Spotify playlist – you know the one I mean, the one that’s so eclectic, it astounds even you – on shuffle, and wondered “If one song could define you, what would it be?” I have. I wonder it quite a lot. I listen to music quite a lot. And…
My Biggest Mistake of 2014
2014 was an excellent year. Lots of really great things happened for me last year, but they have been overshadowed by this one big mistake I made. At the end of 2013, I heard lots of people talking through their resolutions and saying what they had and hadn’t achieved. Then I heard that people had…
Living in the Shadow of the Almighty
I grew up in a musical environment. Not the traditional sense of a musical environment; mine and my sister’s early lives contained a lot of music, of all different genres and varieties – there always seemed to be music playing. I’ve always loved listening to music, and going to concerts, and I spend a lot…
100 Happy Things: Revisited
Last week, I posted a challenge for myself. To find one happy thing per day and to keep track of them. So I’ve kept a diary of my week and picked one happy thing per day. Hope you enjoy!
Desires of The Heart
A few months ago I kept waking up in the middle of the night. I’d wake up every night at either 3am or 5am, and lie in bed for about an hour trying to get back to sleep. I mentioned this to someone and they said to me, that I should use that time to…
My own personal disaster
This coming week I’ve realised I’ve committed to do too many things. It all started on Thursday. I help out at our church youth club on a Thursday night and part of the night includes a talk on a story from the bible. I wanted to teach the topic of Peter denying Jesus. I love…
The story of the Good Samaritan
Last month, I helped at a fantastic event in my church. We hosted the Life Exhibition, which was all about the life of Jesus. It was split into 3 parts: the prophecies of Jesus, what Jesus said and what Jesus did. I was in charge of what Jesus said. I talked about his parables primarily,…
100 Days To Change…
Habits are something that can be good or bad. Often we get stuck in bad habits, and trying to break out of them seems impossibly hard. When we want to get into a new good habit, it seems just as difficult. A friend of mine showed me a blog that gave a guide to creating…
If God is for us, who can be against us?
If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 Last week, I found out that not only am I still not liked at work, that a few members of staff like to exchange unpleasant words about me behind my back. Some of these members of staff, I thought were my friends. This…
