new blog📚🐧 I loooove tracking different thi new blog📚🐧

I loooove tracking different things in my bullet journal: from goals, to reading, to prayer & Bible study. I love seeing trackers progress over the year✨

Personally, I think these trackers can be really helpful in growing our faith and helping us to stick to spiritual disciplines such as Bible reading & prayer🍃

Over on the blog, I have a whole blog post dedicated to 6 different things that we can track in a Christian bullet journal this year!🖍️

Head to the link in my bio to read the full blog post☕
Dear God, thank you for the snow! Thank you that a Dear God, thank you for the snow! Thank you that amongst the disappointments and sadness of lockdowns, snow can bring joy and encouragement. We pray that everyone is able to enjoy the fun and adventure that snow can bring. We also pray for everyone who needs to travel at this time, that they are able to do so safely. Amen.

Praying out loud: do you love it or hate it?🙏 Praying out loud: do you love it or hate it?🙏

I think for a lot of us, the idea of praying out loud fills us with dread - it's scary, kinda vulnerable and embarrassing when you mess up💁🏻‍♀️

But, praying out loud is an important part of being in a Christian community - it's how we model prayer to new Christians & how we pray together as one body✨

So today over on YouTube we are sharing our top tips to help you pray out loud with more confidence, whether you're in a prayer meeting, a small group or leading prayers at church🐧

Follow the link in my bio to find our YouTube channel & watch the whole video!🎥
When I first booked this week off work, I had no i When I first booked this week off work, I had no idea we would be in lockdown still. I thought a January birthday had let me escape from a lockdown birthday, but nope💁🏻‍♀️

Even if I can't visit people or eat out or *insert anything that takes place outside my house or with other people*, I'm very much looking forward to a week of not working, dog walks, reading, filming, editting & sleeeeeeeep😴

What are your favourite lockdown activities?🌿
Did you make an #OperationChristmasChild shoebox t Did you make an #OperationChristmasChild shoebox this year?🎁

This is Eleanor (🐘) and Gregory (🦒) and they were super excited to hop into our shoebox gift and travel out into the world to meet a child in another country!🌍

I'm always so excited to find out where my box has ended up. But even before then, it's so great to be able to pray over this box and the child who will receive it - to pray that this gift will bless them, make them feel loved. That through this project they will learn about Jesus. That God will protect them and be with them as they grow 🌿

Are you praying over your shoebox?✨
spot Arnold!🐧👀 Have you set any goals for y spot Arnold!🐧👀

Have you set any goals for yourself this year? It may be basically late January, but it's never too late to set some goals if they help you!🍃

As Christians, setting goals is a great opportunity for us to look at our lives and see how we could be better living out our faith, how we could better reflect God's light in the world & become more Christ-like✨

In my latest blog post I'm sharing some different ideas for what Christian goals we could set for ourselves this year - including challenges, projects & even reading goals📚

Stop Calling Me Beautiful - Phylicia Masonheimer
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Whilst I found this book hard work to get started (this could have just been my mood💁🏻‍♀️ or just coming from a slightly different context), I really want to recommend this book to any women who feel a bit bored of Christianity. Or feel a bit disconnected. Or feel like there must be more to it all.🌧️ 

The way this book talks about faith, victory and freedom is so encouraging & enthusiastic - it's really not something I've ever felt so strongly from an author and it's SO refreshing to see✨

I know this book will make such a difference to so many women in building up their faith!☕
Dear God, this week we bring before you the confli Dear God, this week we bring before you the conflicts taking place around this world. We ask that your hand will be upon these situations and that we will see your peace at work. Two particular situations we bring before you are the recent clashes in Sudan, and the assassinations in Afghanistan. Be with all those who are grieving, and protect all those living in fear of further conflict. Amen.

What are your reading goals for 2021?📚 Over on What are your reading goals for 2021?📚

Over on YouTube today we are chatting all things books & reading! I have a number of super fun reading plans and goals for this year to help me read a wide range of books in 2021✨

Some of my plans include👇
• Reading 75 books 
• Tracking my reading in allll the places

To find out the rest of my plans & goals you'll have to watch the whole video over on my YouTube channel (link in bio)🎬

"I don't know." Three words that I think as Chri "I don't know." 

Three words that I think as Christians we need to get better at saying (and being ok with). 

I don't know how you feel, but I want to support you anyway. 

I don't know why that's happening to you. 

I don't know the answer to that question, let me do some research. 

I don't know why your prayer has not been answered. 

I don't know my opinion on that topic, I'm still researching & wrestling. 

I don't know how to do that, why don't you ask this person instead. 

I don't know how to help you, let me know what you want me to do. 

I don't know what that's like, but I'm happy to listen to you. 

I don't know. 

Not knowing is not a sign of weakness, or of doubt, or of a lack of faith. None of us know everything, that is why we are part of a community: the Church. And none of us will ever know everything about God. 

And that's ok.
How many of us set a New Year's goal to read the B How many of us set a New Year's goal to read the Bible more (or better or to just start)?🙋

How many of us are not doing so great at that goal?🙋

Thankfully, Arnold has got your back. It can be difficult to get started with reading the Bible, or maybe we just don't know how to get started. But Arnold (+Bernard obviously) are excited to share some of their top tips to help you start reading the Bible in 2021✨

From all the things you need to read the Bible, to tips to make Bible reading part of your routine, & more - head to the link in my bio to read the full blog post📚
Dear God, we have seen so much anger, so much hatr Dear God, we have seen so much anger, so much hatred, so many accusations, so much violence, so much division. We see it in families, between friends, within churches and communities, in our politics, between strangers, online and in the streets. You are a God of peace and justice, and we pray for your peace in this world. Help us to live in peace with one another, loving one another despite our differences. Help us to care for those who disagree with us, and to pray deeply for our enemies. Help us to be quick to listen and slow to anger. Help us to seek peace, and to forgive. Amen.
