Life has gotten a bit mad recently and change is very much on the horizon. In some areas it’s already here but, for the most part, I haven’t reached it just yet.
When life gets like this I get pretty freaked out.
I’m human so I naturally like comfort, I…
Annie. 23. I love Jesus a lot. Tea is one of those lovely little bonuses in life. I adore travelling; next on the list? Hopefully Canada...

Where I Find Security.
1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear…”
I am one of the most blessed girls out there but sometimes I forget this. I forget how good God has been to me, and how awesome He is, because I get so bogged down by the little things in life. I focus so much on how I don’t like my temporary job, or how…
Every time I’m treated badly it makes me want to be a better person.
Every time I think about how tough life currently is it motivates me to work even harder to change things.
Every time I feel weak I’m suddenly reminded of how strong I really am.
Every time that I feel alone Jesus reminds me that He’s still there, and that together we’ll move mountains; that we already are moving mountains.
If I work hard, with Him, my dreams will come true. That’s what I need to cling to.

Why Romance isn’t Dead.
I used to think that the notion of God loving me romantically was really strange.
Society has, over the years, made romance about nothing more than sex, nothing more than red roses and candles and sexual intimacy and I think that’s sad, because God has…

“I had not forgotten my promise to consider whether we should make the patient an extreme patriot or an extreme pacifist, All extremes, except extreme devotion to the Enemy, should be encouraged. Not always, of course, but at this period. Some ages are lukewarm and complacent, and then it is our business to soothe them yet faster asleep. Other ages, of which the present is one, are unbalanced and prone to faction, and it is our business to inflame them. Any small coterie, bound together by some interest which other men dislike or ignore, tends to develop inside itself a hothouse mutual admiration, and towards the outer world, a great deal of pride and hatred which is entertained without shame because the ‘Cause’ is its sponsor and it is thought to be impersonal. Even when the little group exists originally for the Enemy’s own purposes, this remains true. We want the Church to be small not only that fewer men may know the Enemy but also that those who do may acquire the uneasy intensity and the defensive self-righteousness of a secret society or a clique. The Church herself is, of course, heavily defended and we have never yet quite succeeded in giving her ALL the characteristics of a faction; but subordinate factions within her have often produced admirable results, from the parties of Paul and of Apollos at Corinth down to the High and Low parties in the Church of England.”

Why money shouldn’t be number one (choosing Jesus over what I “should” be doing)
After two months of killing myself working 40 hours a week and trusting in God more than ever before, I decided it was the right time to go down to 25 hours and sign up for a part-time contract.
I feel like the past eight or so weeks have given me a great…

Matthew 9:22 “Jesus turned and saw her. ‘Take heart, daughter,’ He said, ‘your faith has healed you.’ And the woman was healed from that moment.”
I would like to apologise for my sporadic posts as of late. I’m currently struggling to stay on a schedule what with being in work 9-5 most days, but will hopefully be back on track next week.
I almost walked out of work this morning.
I told a colleague I…

Endurance: Part One
Endurance
In today’s post on endurance I’m going to cover the beauty of enduring through painful situations with Christ and how He blesses us through that.
Romans 5:3-4
“More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and…

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”
Today I started work in a job in customer services (please forgive me for not giving more details, but I don’t want there to be any possibility of getting into trouble with my employer). One thing I have learnt, after one day in this job, is that there is…

It makes me really angry to see people on Tumblr calling themselves Christians and then segregating certain groups of people and saying that how they live their lives in sinful and that God doesn’t love them, or that they can “get help to change”.
It breaks my heart to see gay people attacked in this way because the love of Christ is for everyone, not just straight people.

Being a follower of Christ has nothing to do with Chick-fil-A
So stop arguing about it and focus on Jesus.
