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
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
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
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
A couple of weeks ago I posted a list of movies that feature women who showcase their femininity in different, inspiring ways, and I wanted to do the same with books! Of course, there are so many books I could talk about, but I’ll try to keep this relatively short. If you have any others, … Continue reading Femininity: A List of Books
After last week’s heavier topic, I thought I’d discuss something a bit more fun for this post! I’ve compiled a list of fictional movies I enjoy that feature women I look up to for how they showcase their femininity, each in different ways. I’ll compile a list of books in the following weeks as well, … Continue reading Femininity: A List of Movies
Wholesome living, for me, is guarding our hearts and minds from vulgarity and impurity, that which does not glorify and honour God. Cultivating a feminine and wholesome life will involve turning away from some things that might be considered normal or successful to the world. This past week, I have felt called from God to … Continue reading Femininity: Wholesome Living
I am someone who constantly battles with contentment. I place a lot of value in finding beauty and joy in the simple things in life, and mention this frequently. But practically it is something I pray about regularly because contentment is not always my natural response. There are so many content creators these days, and … Continue reading Femininity: Seeking Contentment
After deciding to follow my slightly nerve-wracking but incredibly exciting new series on femininity, I’ve been writing down so many ideas about what I can explore here on the blog. But firstly, there is something important pressing on my heart. As I discuss femininity and look back at what I have implemented, and look forward … Continue reading Femininity: not about perfection or oppression
I’m starting a new category on my blog about femininity, and already have several ideas for future posts discussing how I cultivate femininity in different aspects of my life. I thought it would be good to introduce the topic, however, and share some context so you know what to expect. While the past few years … Continue reading Femininity: A New Focus
