Denying God’s otherness. The serpent said to the woman, “… God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good ad evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. Genesis 3:5-6 We are just small creatures. I was just catching up with a…

Surely God is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defence; He has become my salvation. Isaiah 12:2 Learning what it means to trust God is confusing. Currently mum is in hospital recovering from a heart transplant. In this season, I am trying to trust Jesus, and not be afraid. But what does it mean to trust Jesus in this trial? Does…

February 2022 has been one of the hardest months of my life. There have been blessings, but mostly there has been grieving, confusion and lamenting to God. Firstly, I was commissioned at Gateway Presbyterian. The elders of Gateway laid hands and prayed for me and commissioned me for the task of discipling the kids at Gateway. I have since started coordinating the kids ministry and it has been a…

I’ve moved!

If you are someone who prays, I would love you to pray for my beach mission. I am leaving today for Brooms head where we will be running program until the 6th of January. Here are my prayer points 🙂 Pray for the community of the Broom and the surrounding regions that God would do a great work in opening the eyes of the spiritually blind, that knowledge of their need and desire for a saviour…

The Lord is my strength and my shield  my heart trusts in him and he helps me  my heart leaps for joy  and with my song I praise him Psalm 28:7 The past few weeks have been beautiful, and very hard. There have been so many wonderful end of year celebrations. I finished my last exam (an early NT church exam), and had a dance party on the college lawn with my peers who also finished that day.…

A fun life update

Hello! Seeing as this is my first post on this blog, I should probably mention why I’m writing it. As some of you probably already know, I am finishing up my Graduate Diploma of Divinity at SMBC this year (hopefully I pass all my exams). I have hopes to one day serve cross-culturally as a missionary, and share Jesus in a country that is less evangelised than Australia. The next couple of years I…

I would love to say that I am not the kind of girl that gets obsessed with youtubers that vlog and make funny videos and do makeup tutorials but, I really am. I used to only watch one youtube channel, JENNXPENN, and honestly I still watch her. I don’t really know what i liked about the channel when I started watching, or what I like about it now, I guess I just subconsciously wish that I was an…

Ok lets be realistic, headlice is the worst thing ever. When I was younger, I basically had headlice all the time. Primary school kids are just prone to it, if one kid gets them, the whole class has them in the end. However, in no way did i ever think that i would have nits at age sixteen, but I thought wrong. I was having fun playing with a little girl who is a good friend of mine, she is five,…

Body Positivity is something I used to roll my eyes at all the time. Every time youth group split everyone up into boys and girls, I knew that the girls were going to get told to find our worth in Jesus, and to love our bodies. And I was frankly sick of it. I didn’t care, I never really thought about my body. That all changed one day when a boy told me I was ‘skinny’. From that moment on, I was…

Well, a lot has happened since I last wrote a blog post. Firstly, I changed degrees. Yep. I wasn’t enjoying the one I was doing, and I figured that life is too short to do something you don’t love. So next year I will be doing a Bachelor of Music. Secondly, I have left Sydney for the holidays and I am having a nice time in my hometown hanging out with my family. Thirdly, I have started a Youtube…
