I'm Sarah, a twenty five year old who loves Jesus first and foremost, finds joy in the simple things, and am happiest when drinking a cup of tea and reading a good book.

Forgiveness / Poem

May 27, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

Forgiveness (written by Sarah Bennett) To forgive myself is to trust who God made me to be, To stop believing the shame others can’t see. It means I can let go of mistakes I’ve made, And rest in who I am – a beloved child. It means I can stop striving to earn His love, … Continue reading Forgiveness / Poem

April 2023 Reads

May 6, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Children at Green Meadows and Secret of Moon Castle by Enid Blyton These were two books I never read as a kid, and I enjoyed them immensely. Enid Blyton’s stories are so entertaining and made me not want to put the books down! Children at Green Meadows is a comedic story of a family who, … Continue reading April 2023 Reads

the life I live and the life I want

April 30, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

This Sunday has been a good one… I made pumpkin soup for the first time! It is currently simmering on the stove, and soon I will blend it before adding some cream. At the beginning of autumn, I made it my mission to make soup every weekend. The purpose of this is to have lunches … Continue reading the life I live and the life I want

Finding (and losing) Balance

April 23, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

Something that returns to me is the notion of balance. How I haven’t been writing as much because I have more commitments. How these are good things yet take away from time spent elsewhere. How I want to be connecting with others yet value being at home. Generally I know in myself whether I have … Continue reading Finding (and losing) Balance

A Slow Sunday

April 16, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

I have minestrone soup in the slow cooker and sweet potato in the oven. While the soup is for my lunches at work this week, I am about to enjoy the sweet potato as a Sunday snack. I’ve poured myself a cup of tea, which reminds me of how I used to blog. Autumn has … Continue reading A Slow Sunday

March 2023 Reads (and autumn updates)

April 10, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Here we are again, a surprising one month later. I didn’t mean to take a break from blogging. If anything, I had grand plans of writing more due to a week off and the public holidays. But God had a way of surprising me while I was away, and my writing ended up being for … Continue reading March 2023 Reads (and autumn updates)

Femininity: Winter Wardrobe

March 12, 2023March 21, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

If you didn't know, my favourite season is winter. As much as I love summer dresses and the lingering sun in the evenings, the cosiness of cold weather is unmatched; cups of tea, wrapping up in blankets, and finally; the winter wardrobe. While I have never had an extensive wardrobe (but also not quite a … Continue reading Femininity: Winter Wardrobe

February 2023 Reads

March 5, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

February was a full month as I finished a few books I had been reading through January, as well as having my first visit to a local library and borrowing six books I hadn’t read before. This, of course, meant a flurry of reading and a neglect of the books at home I had already … Continue reading February 2023 Reads

At Home: Showing Up

February 26, 2023March 11, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

So much of what we do is simply… showing up. How easy it is to dream of being a writer for a living, of having a book published under my name. But the writing itself cannot be done until I make myself sit at the computer and put in the hours. Of course, this time … Continue reading At Home: Showing Up

At Home: Peace Renewed

February 19, 2023March 11, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 8 Comments

It is easy to feel calm when life is going well. When we are on top of our tasks and don’t have any looming deadlines. It is easy to find rest when our days are consistent and simple. But this isn’t always our reality, is it? What about remaining peaceful when we feel the need … Continue reading At Home: Peace Renewed
