Femininity: Authenticity in Health

May 19, 2022 ~ Sarah ~ Leave a comment

I’m sitting here with eggs on toast and a blanket on my lap. The days have been sunny and warm compared to the early mornings, but sometimes it’s nice to feel cosy. I finished sewing my Christmas blanket, which is very exciting! It’s ready in time to use as winter creeps in, and I’m so … Continue reading Femininity: Authenticity in Health

My Spiritual Wilderness

March 26, 2022March 31, 2022 ~ Sarah ~ 2 Comments

In January I wrote this post and mentioned I thought I was going through a spiritual wilderness. Sometime last year (probably around October when I lost my job during a lockdown), I began to feel lost and while I was reading my Bible and praying as normal, it felt like God was not close to … Continue reading My Spiritual Wilderness

Femininity: being at rest

January 19, 2022January 21, 2022 ~ Sarah ~ 4 Comments

While laziness is not an attribute we should embrace, there is, of course, a big need for rest in our lives. This comes into play both physically and inwardly. For both our physical and spiritual replenishment, God has given us the sabbath, a Biblical concept that many live out differently. While I am not an … Continue reading Femininity: being at rest

Hope in the New Year

January 1, 2022January 21, 2022 ~ Sarah ~ 2 Comments

At the beginning of last year, I wrote that I wanted 2021 to be good. After what it turned out to be, I don’t know that I have the energy to ask for that again. Not that I want to dismiss the entire year as bad, because it wasn’t (there were some wonderful aspects), but … Continue reading Hope in the New Year

My Testimony

October 6, 2021October 8, 2021 ~ Sarah ~ 10 Comments

There hasn’t been any time in my life that I haven’t believed in God. When I was young this belief was passed onto me by my parents, but I transitioned into having my own faith somewhere in my teenage years. I don’t recall there being one moment that I “became” a Christian, however, there have … Continue reading My Testimony

The Pull of Adventure

May 20, 2021October 2, 2021 ~ Sarah ~ Leave a comment

I’ve never been an overly adventurous person. I like small, simple walks in nature, but not eight-hour hikes. I like going to the beach, but not going as far out into the ocean as possible. Bears are my favourite animal, but that doesn’t mean I want to meet one while I’m camping. I’ve never been … Continue reading The Pull of Adventure

Conclusions and Closure

February 13, 2021October 3, 2021 ~ Sarah ~ Leave a comment

Someone recently told me that I’m good at conclusions, or something like that. I’m good at concluding things. I wouldn’t disagree, but I think sometimes I go too far in cutting things off before their time, for the sake of moving on. Whenever I go away on holidays, the last morning is always wobbly. Knowing … Continue reading Conclusions and Closure

My Focus of 2021

January 23, 2021October 3, 2021 ~ Sarah ~ 3 Comments

2021 is the year of focusing on my health. Which, when put like that, sounds kind of boring. But honestly, I’m excited. I wouldn’t say I’ve ever neglected my wellbeing, unless you consider neglect to be convincing my mum that a dentist appointment doesn’t have to be every six months. But it hasn’t been much … Continue reading My Focus of 2021

Success / Poem

January 8, 2021October 14, 2021 ~ Sarah ~ 2 Comments

I wrote this poem upon walking around the streets I grew up on, though not the ones I became a grown-up on. The poem doesn't feel polished, but I thought I'd post it here anyway and give you a Friday read. There is a girl, and she is eleven. She knows what it is to … Continue reading Success / Poem

Welcoming the New Year

January 1, 2021October 2, 2021 ~ Sarah ~ 3 Comments

I’ve gone from one floral journal to another. I wonder what thoughts and emotions and prayers and poems I will capture this year. I wonder what will fill those pages. I wonder when I will return to the journal of 2020, and if I’ll like what I find there. I wonder if 2021 will be … Continue reading Welcoming the New Year
