  God of the Wildflowers: Finding Beauty in the Unplanned I was supposed to write and post this blog over the weekend just gone, but something incredibly special happened—I got Baptised on Sunday. It was a day I had been waiting for for a long time, and it turned out to be the most perfect, beautiful day, filled with so much love and joy. It's a moment I’ll remember for the rest of my life, and I’m now stepping into this new season with so much excitement and peace. This is the second blog in my Soulful Summer series, and it’s all about finding beauty in the unplanned—in those spontaneous, grace-filled moments that God gently leads us into. Over the past week, I've been learning first-hand how the unexpected can often be the most sacred, and how God speaks to us when we’re open to following Him into the unknown. Pre-Baptism Worries and a Heart Full of Questions Last week, as the day of my Baptism approached, I found myself in deep reflection—but also in a place of unexpected a...

Embracing change has always been a challenge for me. It’s something I continue to work on every day, which is why I wanted to share a few thoughts about it. Life is full of constant change—our work, education, relationships, and even our physical appearances are always evolving. We’re part of an ever-changing world, and that can be difficult to navigate at times. For me, embracing certain changes has become harder as I’ve gotten older. One of the biggest areas of struggle has been accepting the physical changes in myself. My body, my face, even the way I carry myself—it’s all different now from how I looked and felt when I was 16, 17, or 18. I’ve had to slowly learn to come to terms with that, to stop holding onto outdated versions of myself, and start embracing the person I am now. Why Does Change Feel So Hard? Change often brings uncertainty. We lose the comfort of what we’ve always known and are forced to adjust to new realities. For me, part of the struggle has been a lack of contr...

   It’s been a little while since I last wrote a blog, with the busyness of Uni exam and assignment season I decided to take a little break until I was finished with it all. Now that I am back I thought I  would also start a new 4 week soulful summer series where each week I will post a faith based blog about a different topic alongside another blog which will be about all sorts from fitness to best places to go hiking this summer. Essentially I will try (emphasises on try) to post two blogs a week. To kickstart this series I have written a blog down below all about embracing spiritual rest as a sacred practice and not as a reward, I hope it will help you to slow down and allow yourself to just be, in this long summer ahead of us.  There's a gentle whisper waiting for you beneath the noise. A stillness that doesn't ask for productivity, for perfection or even clarity. It just asks for you. This summer, lets listen to that whisper.  Our world is so  obsesse...
