Happy Sunday everyone. If you’re like me, Sunday morning is for church, but Sunday afternoon becomes a whirl of school uniforms and prepping lunches and getting work clothes ready for the week ahead. There are things that have to happen to make our houses function, but let’s try and take a moment with God and stop the rest of the world taking over our Sunday completely. God first. Then chores.

Finally a quiet night to tuck into @challies book. It combines some of my fave things - Christianity, travel and history nerdism. Absolutely loving it.

Here's my latest piece for @matthiasmedia . I was really pleased with how this turned out as it came from one of those moments when a small section of the Bible cracks open to reveal a wealth of treasure.

I haven't blogged for a while but here's a new one - it's a bit of a deeper thought piece on women as the carriers of the burden of modesty and what the Bible teaches on this subject.

Life makes us wobble sometimes. But God is not just the stable force in our lives - he is actively reaching out for us to steady and support us with his love.

This fills me up. Even on bad days where goodness and love seem nowhere - there is still this.
