So this is my second ‘My Job in Pictures’ post. It was hard to choose this week but here are my final three! 1. Some of the younger children enjoying our day out to Clivedon National Trust site 🙂 I had so much fun playing with them and being with them as they made ‘collections’,…

Stepping Up 4
I’ve been carrying on looking at the Pilgrim Psalms using Beth Moore’s ‘Stepping Up’ and here are this week’s thoughts… So I read Psalm 127 and 128 this week, and to be honest they initially really annoyed me. They seemed to imply that you are only blessed by God if you have children, which really…
My Job in Pictures 1
I love my job. It’s exhausting and busy and limits my social life, but I still love it! I work with children and youth and their families, for a church, so every day is different and there are always challenges and always rewards 🙂 I figured it might be interesting to do a new little…
Stepping Up 3
I wrote this a week or so ago, but have been unsure whether to post it, worrying it may be a little heavy! But I figure it may encourage someone somewhere so I’m going to be brave and post it anyway! Here goes… I have been continuing with my ‘Stepping Up’ book which I have…
Being honest but appreciative…
Have you ever been in the situation where you’ve been browsing facebook, looking at someone’s holiday snaps, or even just catching up with friends, and you’ve had that nagging feeling that maybe your life doesn’t quite match up? I think a lot of people have moments of dissatisfaction with where they are in life, and…
Cloud Atlas
I read Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell last year and it quickly became one of my favourite books for the skill with which it was written, the hugeness of all that it managed to cover, the way Mitchell managed to plunge in and out of different genres, times, places and people yet still manage to cover each…
Small Things :-)
In the style of my favourite blog, ciderwithrosie.com, here is a little list of things that have been lifting my spirits this week. Having been on holiday, I have quite a few! 1. Managing to snap this butterfly (a Dark Green Fritillary I think?) on my phone at Centre Parks, Longleat: 2. Painting my nails…
Stepping Up Post 2
I have been on holiday this week, so had a little time to carry on with the ‘Stepping Up’ book I mentioned before, which takes a look at prayers/songs from the Biblical book, Psalms. In particular, it focuses on the ‘Psalms of Ascent’ or Pilgrimage Psalms. This week has involved a lot of travelling for…
Flip Flops!
A while ago, I mentioned Gandys Flip Flops, the up and coming flip flop company started by two young brothers who lost their parents in the 2004 Tsunami. Money is donated to orphans in India for each pair bought. Here is my pair 🙂
Stepping Up 1 – Pilgrims
So I just started working through a book called ‘Stepping Up’ by Beth Moore. It’s basically a workbook looking at ‘The Psalms of Ascent’ from the Bible (‘Psalms is a collection of songs and prayers). The workbook has downloadable videos to go alongside it. Beth is great at helping people to engage with the Bible…
Sandana
Sandana is a girl I read about today, and I wanted to share her bravery with you. I read a snippet of her story in the book ‘Just Courage’ by Gary A. Haugen (details of the book at the end). Haugen is the President of ‘International Justice Mission’ which is an inspiring charity working to…
