Spring has well and truly sprung, Bible study by the river was so rewarding today! Sat in the sun and reading through Galatians 1:1-5, what a beautiful world the Lord has made!

"You talk about God too much!"

I don't talk about Him enough.

Welcome to my evangelism corner…

I know posting twice in a day may be a bit much, but it’s 2am and I’ve spent the last few hours dedicating a corner of my living room to evangelism and prayer, and I would love to share it with you all.

The basket at the top is for tracts, so I have them close to distribute when the moment is right. I have also pinned up the Open Doors 2025 World Watch List so I don’t forget to pray daily for persecuted Christians.

Amongst the shelves are many books that I have not just for myself, but to share with friends and non-believers in the hope of introducing them to the faith.

In the frames are a few of my favourite postcards from The Christian Poster Company that remind me daily of the verses that bring me strength. Proverbs 31 will always hold a special place in my heart.

The jar of Bible verses was a gift from a wonderful friend of mine. I’m so happy that I have a spot in the room where I welcome guests that is dedicated to Christ and dedicated to evangelism.

TW: Eating Disorder

Anorexia & Christianity - How God is guiding my recovery journey (Philippians 4:13)

This is a post that I debated making for a long while, but now feels like the time to share it.

For years, I’ve battled with anorexia. I’m not quite there yet, but since I found Christ again, I’ve made so many steps that even my doctors are commending me on. I’m getting slowly towards a healthy weight, I’m seeing the way my body is changing and fighting the negative thoughts to remind myself that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, in His image.

One of my biggest fears when eating was the calories. There were so many foods I would avoid out of sheer fear, but recently I’ve found a way that makes my food less scary.

I pray before every single meal I eat, asking the Lord to bless my meal, to nourish me and to give me strength. When I’m eating, I don’t think about the calories. I tell myself that if I clear my plate, I’ve eaten a whole blessing and He will watch over me and protect me.

This is not a one-size-fits-all, an eating disorder is a difficult thing to deal with, and we all have our own healing journeys to go on for our recovery. This is how I am healing.

Has it been scary? Yes. Has it been something I’ve been battling with myself for months over? Yes. But this is helping me take the steps towards getting better. For years, I just tried to do it myself. I was convinced I could get better, and I found myself getting worse every time.

When my plate overwhelms me, I remember the prayer that I said, and I think of Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I don’t always clear my plate, but I put all of my effort into remembering that this will nourish and strengthen my body, and that every mouthful is a blessing from the Lord.

I’ve still got a very long way to go, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come. Please do keep me in your prayers, and pray that the Lord will continue to give me the strength to heal.

What do the different highlighter colors in your Bible stand for? If anything? :)

Thank you for asking!

💜 Purple is conquering anxiety

🩷 Pink is God’s love and forgiveness

🩵 Blue is sin

💚 Green is God’s power and the Kingdom of Heaven

💛 Yellow (there’s no yellow highlight 🥲) is miracles of Christ and history of Christ

🧡 And orange is prophecy!

I’m going to be adding more colours soon as there’s plenty more things I need to highlight and remember!

Jesus & the Fisherman

“One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I was so pleased when I found this artwork in a local antiques shop - I even got to share the gospel with the staff as I paid for it! It was £28, and I couldn’t be happier with having one of my favourite moments from the gospel in my living room.

The beauty of this piece of scripture is this: When Jesus directs our work, it makes all the difference. We can work - even work hard - for a long time with no results. But when Jesus directs our work, we see results; and we always miss something great when we make excuses instead of allowing Jesus to direct our work.

Train Up a Child: The Divine Calling of Teaching

I am incredibly blessed that every day, I get to work in a career that the Lord called me to follow. I teach, which is one of the most rewarding careers you can have.

A verse has been stuck in my head for the last 24 hours:

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”

- ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This timeless wisdom speaks volumes about the profound impact of early guidance and the enduring value of a good education.

While this verse often emphasizes parental responsibility, it also casts a powerful light on the noble calling of teaching. Educators, in many ways, step into the role of surrogate parents, nurturing young minds and shaping future generations.

How Teaching Aligns with Godly Principles:

Nurturing Potential: Just as a gardener cultivates a seedling, teachers cultivate the potential within each child. They provide the intellectual and emotional nourishment necessary for growth and development.

(Isaiah 54:13 - “All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.”)

Imparting Knowledge: Education is a sacred trust. Teachers are entrusted with the responsibility of imparting knowledge, fostering critical thinking skills, and igniting a lifelong love of learning.

(Deuteronomy 6:7 - “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.”)

Building Character: Beyond academics, effective teachers strive to instill moral values, cultivate empathy, and encourage ethical behavior. They play a crucial role in shaping well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to society.

(Proverbs 22:1 - "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver and gold.")

Guiding Future Leaders: Teachers prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the future. They equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to become responsible citizens, innovative thinkers, and compassionate leaders.

(Proverbs 29:17: "Correct your son, and he will give you rest; yes, he will give delight to your soul.")

If you feel drawn to a career in education, I encourage you to seriously consider it. Embrace the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young people and become a part of something truly meaningful 🩷

Today's Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being the God of restoration. Even when things seem impossible, I trust that You are working behind the scenes. Breathe life into every situation I am struggling with—my faith, my family, my dreams. Help me to hold on to hope, knowing that You have the final say. In Jesus' name, Amen.
