Relish

As I shared here, for the last couple of years, I have used a random inspirational word generator to give me a word for the year. When I open the site, I ask the Holy Spirit to come and give me a word which will speak into that coming year, and then I see what […]

Following the Star

The three wise men. I’ve never really given them too much thought until this year. But quite a few of the Christmas cards I’ve received this year have featured some image of the three wise men following the star. They saw the star rising and followed it all the way to the manger, where they […]

It’s not Nine minus Two

(This is another post I started writing back when we first came off the road, but was edited later on, after I’d had time to start processing.) 23 March 2020 These last seven months have been the most life changing months of my life. My time on NET was supposed to last until May, but […]

How It Ended…

(I wrote the majority of this post back in Spring 2020, when my time serving with NET ended abruptly due to the spread of COVID-19. Although excerpts were added at various later dates, I’ve left the original post relatively raw and unedited, as I wanted to remember everything exactly as it happened.) 12th March 2020. […]

Rediscovery

The last few months have been really strange, haven’t they. I shared in my last post about how I was trying to not be so caught up in constantly looking towards the future. And so, in an effort to live more in the moment, I’ve been trying to find new hobbies, as well as reminding […]

Thankful

There are lots of things that us Brits have picked up from America: fashions, foods, films… however, I think there is something else we should steal. Thanksgiving. It’s a holiday where you express your gratitude for the people around you, your circumstances, the life you are blessed with. With the craziness of this year, I […]

Right Now

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the times we’re living in. It’s a pretty complicated, uncertain, hurting world. Politics. Climate change. Religious persecution. Terrorism. Natural disasters. A global pandemic. England is back in a full lockdown again. For the second time since March, we’ve been told to only leave our homes for work. education, […]

Walking on the Waves

In my previous post, I talked about how God had taught me a lot of things on the road that I want to share. I’ve wanted to write this post for a while, but I’ve kept putting it off. And then I realised that the Gospel reading for this weekend is the exact passage I […]

I Wanna Love Like You

As I’m sure most of you know, I spent seven months this year working as a Catholic missionary in the US. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here. Over a year, in fact. If I’m being honest, I feel like I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself with this post. Of […]

Stuck in the Middle with You

My degree is over!! I can hardly believe that these past three years have come to an end. Uni has been the greatest experience of my life, and I’m leaving Liverpool with so much joy, many beautiful friends, and no regrets. I’m going to do more posts in future about my uni experience, but today […]
