The Summer has been wonderful, but bring me Autumn

I miss falling leaves, a red, brown and yellow palette. I miss being naive, the expectation that 'Summer' could solve everything. I miss cuddling up, clinging onto blankets like the sun would never rise. I miss walking my pup, laughing as she chases the leaves. I miss the change of temperature, a hot mug of…

God doesn’t leave.

Philippians 1v6 A reminder that no matter how tough it might be, no matter how much you are struggling - God will not leave. He brings you into certain circumstances, and He knows how it will end. He doesn't put you places hoping you'll find your way out - no, He puts you there with…

Killing Christian Hipster

This is brilliant. So tired of this new "Hipster Christian" trend, but in explaining this to others I seem to land my self in a difficult position, being told that I am not to judge, and I don't know what kind of relationship people have with God, so I can't judge their faith based on…

“FINALLY – I’M SMART!”

Today I received a certificate through my door, which contained the results of my first year of college. After a year filled with many emotions; excitement, confusion, frustration, enthusiasm, hopefulness, exhaustion and finally, great relief - I was both shocked and satisfied to say that I received a DISTINCTION grade in each of the eight modules…
