At Home: to move quietly

January 8, 2023February 6, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 7 Comments

I admit, there are times when I do not have a good attitude. When the things that need to be done are done with grumbling and frustration. While I can look around my home and find joy, there are also times when it all feels too much and I wish someone else could cook dinner … Continue reading At Home: to move quietly

A Spring Weekend

September 10, 2022October 22, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

When I stepped out of my car after work yesterday and into the evening air, I could smell some flowers. It was not yet dark but I could see the white glow of the moon surrounded by clouds. Spring is here and I’m excited! It has been said before and I will be one of … Continue reading A Spring Weekend

Learning to Prioritise

August 20, 2022October 2, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

I've been sitting in the sun and realising I have more time than I thought I did. In starting a full-time job, I knew there would be an adjustment period as I got used to a time-sensitive to-do list on the weekend and more responsibility in how I spent my evenings. To help minimise the … Continue reading Learning to Prioritise

Awake / Poem

August 16, 2022December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Awake (written by Sarah Bennett) I fell asleep at eighteen and opened my eyes at twenty five. I tell myself I’m wiser from it all, but I don’t know if that’s true. I threw away time I thought I didn’t need and now spend every second trying to keep up with the present. I do … Continue reading Awake / Poem

Onto the Next Thing

July 3, 2022August 14, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I’m in the midst of moving, which is exciting. In just over a week I’ll be living somewhere new, which I don’t know if I’ve fully processed yet. With all the practical aspects to keep me busy, as well as working, I haven’t had many opportunities to just stop and let myself think about it. … Continue reading Onto the Next Thing

At Home: being faithful with what we have

June 8, 2022October 22, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

There is a dream I come back to. When I was in late high school, I dreamt that my home was on fire and everything was burning. As I left the house I grabbed my Bible and nothing else. We lived, but none of our other possessions made it. I come back to this dream … Continue reading At Home: being faithful with what we have

Femininity: on physical appearance

May 25, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I haven’t devoted an entire blog post to the physical appearance aspect of femininity, but it has been weighing on my mind for a few weeks. Admittedly, it has taken that long to grapple with the topic before I felt comfortable to talk about it. Similarly to when I spoke about health last week, the … Continue reading Femininity: on physical appearance

My Spiritual Wilderness

March 26, 2022March 31, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 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 Bennett ~ 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

Femininity: on staying at home

January 6, 2022January 21, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

I confess, I have not always been the most confident when discussing my interests and goals in life. Last year, I worked part-time in a bookstore while I studied full-time at university. To some, it was just retail; a stepping stone to greater things. To me, it was the best thing I’d done in my … Continue reading Femininity: on staying at home
