Listening to God is a part of Christianity that seems so weird and foreign to me. I grew up knowing that God was real, but not understanding that you can have a relationship with Him – in fact, that’s all He really wants from you. When people talk about listening to God’s voice, or how…

To Believe is to Trust
I believe every word the Bible says.
I believe in miracles. I do.
I believe that Jesus was born of a virgin.
I believe that Jesus healed the sick – giving sight to those who could not see, making the lame walk, changing the hearts of those filled with hate.
Jesus performed miracle after miracle. He didn’t even have to do anything for some people – His presence was enough to change them.
But here’s the challenge – who do I believe is really in control of my life?
What do I believe? What do you believe?
Is it Jesus? God incarnate, here to change the world so we could thrive for His glory?
Or is it your *insert personal hang-up here*?
Why Sunday is my least favourite day of the week…
A lot of people will be horrified by the thought that, even as a Christian, Sunday is my least favourite day of the week. Many people reading this post will probably take pity on me. My mother in particular will probably feel quite sad. (Mumma – maybe stop reading now!) The reason for this seemingly…
Hell no H20!
Today the water ‘problem’ in Preston has come to a close. Last week, the water straight from the tap became drinkable again, but today a letter dropped onto my doormat from United Utilities with a compensation cheque in it. I want to stick my oar in and let you know my thoughts…
Taking God AND His Word
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…
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…
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…
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…
The Best Films of 2013
It may be January 16th today, but I am still reading the January issue of Empire, and therefore it doesn’t really feel like I’m up to date with films, so in my head, I’m right on time with a round up of 2013 blog! Amy wrote one of these a few weeks ago – you…
