Living Life to the Full | Letters in Lockdown #2

The word ‘zoom’ has a whole new meaning, we’re getting savvy with booking online shopping slots, and we could probably measure out exactly 2 metres by eye. The novelty and the shock of change is wearing off and we’re now softening the soles of this ‘new normal’.  ‘New normal’ – Oh, if I had a…

Where is the Hope? | Letters in Lockdown #1

Suuuuurprise!! I’m back! I apologise. I took a little break and I feel a little ashamed at how long that break lasted. But with a schedule stretched every which way and the right side of my brain shrivelled like a raisin, it was inevitable.  But then, life changed. My life changed, your life changed…the life…

The Miracle of God’s Mercy | The Story of Jonah

Recently, God has lead me to something new. Like with anything He leads us into, it is a mixture of emotions. Excitement, nervousness; a constant yo-yo of doubting my ability and trusting in His. Following Jesus is never boring, I tell you that.  But, what is this new venture? Well, I have been given the…

I’m a Fresher, help me out a bit here!

It’s that time of year again. Bake off is on, rain is paying a regular visit in dribbles and downpours, paths are littered with crisp caramel coloured leaves, pubs are advertising their Christmas bookings, and most Universities are back in business. I’m back in Sheffield about to embark upon my fourth year and although I…

The ‘B’ Word | Thoughts on Body Image

We have all, at one point or another in our lifetime, looked in the mirror and gone, ‘ugh’. For some, it might be once in a blue moon, like waking up after a bad night to eye bags the size of France. For others though, that ‘ugh’ is a frustrated sigh. I have tried everything…

Psalm 91 | God’s Promise

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been delving most mornings into the New Testament and learning more about what it is to live for Jesus, falling more in love with Him as I walk atop every mountain and through every valley. I’ve been taking it very tortoise like. Before I jump into a book…

Lessons From Life Abroad

“Oh yes, I totally understand what you mean. See, when I was on my year abroad….” Wow, am I now going to be that person? I’m afraid I might just be. I will try my best to limit the level of cringeworthy content in this post, but I can’t guarantee that there won’t be phrases…

Guess who’s back, back again…

It’s been a while. A few weeks ago, I picked up sticks and headed back up to the hilly land of Sheffield. It’s been wonderful but as you can imagine, things have been preeee-tty busy. In amongst settling in, beavering around making our new house a home, walking up endless hills and remembering how to…

Immeasurably More

Ephesians 3:17-21 says, ‘I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people,…

Who is Jesus and why do I love Him?

Hello hello! Congrats! You’ve stumbled across my first ever blogpost! Honestly, I’ve been kind of dreading this part. If you have read the ‘About Me‘ section of my blog, you’ll know how much I love writing so it might seem odd that I would be fearful of it. But as a perfectionist, I was wanting…
