snippets of the way i overthink

day 13 : needs must the message of the day from the devotional...

day 12 : prayer circle the message of the day from the devotional... there are always opportunities to be generous.

day 11 : hidden heroes the message of the day from the devotional... it's easy to sometimes only notice people when we need something from them

day 10 : drop everything the message of the day from the devotional... how often do we see what's precious to us as a generous gift to someone else?

day 9 : be present the message of the day from the devotional... 'being present' means to put yourself in the presence of others on purpose, to benefit others. this means to give the  best of your time  +  your attention  to make someone feel valued.

day 8 : bring life the message of the day from the devotional... our generosity can be a lifeline for others.

hi, it me, i'm back. yeah i've been a bit m.i.a. and i don't even really have anything to blame besides my own faults cos i've been unintentionally developing myself as a nocturnal, literally.

sundays are rest days and 40 acts observes this, too. there is no email and no challenge today, but a chance to process things that have happened and sit back and enjoy the day we are living.' i want to take this first sunday of lent to talk about the importance of rest. i'm not a particularly old person (or i convince myself i'm not, at least, although i am one of them final babies born last century) but my body needs rest and i know it. recently i was very unwell - literally had all symptoms under the sun, all at once, from runny nose and sore throat to dizziness and headaches. it was not great and just made me miss home that much more. but rest is important. we don't need to always be occupying every second of our day just to feel productive and as if we've made the most out of our day. we can easily appreciate the day we have by observing other things, whether this be the daffodils that are springing up in places or the concentration on the barista's f...

act 4: cash stash spoiler alert: if im honest, this is probably going to be a bland post just because my day's been full of running errands, in a fun way.

hey! so this post is going to be all the ins and outs about lent, according to me anyway. as a christian, lent doesn't just mean that time of year when you give something up ; it means something deeper.

happy international women's day! women are powerful and i believe that  girls really can rule the world . today is all about women

so, day 1. new beginnings. let me start off by introducing what im giving up for lent. i am committed to not snack - whether that be eating unhealthy, processed foods in general, or eating between my allocated meal times.

it has honestly been the  longest time since i last wrote a big block of words, nevermind a blog post. but hopefully one year older one year wiser is a thing and i can write better blog posts, one year on (i know it's more a year and a half, i don't suck at both maths and english that bad, but allow me). so why am i restarting, for the second time? you see, if you know me, you'll know that i'm a rather open person and just chat a lot (after the initial awkwardness that is lol) and i've been in the habit of writing a diary everyday for the past 3 years or so now but i figured, that isn't real journalling and i'm barely reflecting on and appreciating my days - it's more like 'oh im gonna have fomo so let me write everything down' type thinking. what do i want to get out of this blog? i would love for this to be a place where i can share certain experiences and joys and just make this my online happy place - whether that be something good that...
