Moments Made a spontaneous trip to this one yesterday, and it was just what my heart needed I always find such rest when I'm with Lou. So much peace. and after years of friendship this friendship is one of the most clear senses of 'Home' that I have. #sistersister #thinkaboutothers #home #tripsat24 #everythingyoucouldwant (at Palm Bay Beach)

Pretty tea time ❄️☕️🎄 I've officially finished winter term and am heading into 4 weeks annual leave from Uni. Such bliss. It's the longest amount of time off I've had since starting my course and I'm deeply expectant and ready for resting, therapeutic bike rides and walks, time with family, much needed spaced out un-demanded time, talking and walking with God in that spacious abiding that sabbath-rest brings. I'm very aware that being a student may be the only time in my life that I get to experience these kind of extended gaps, so I will take hold of it with both hands and not regret a minute! Now is a great time to Skype, if you have tried and I have been unavailable, if you have held out and been patient, then let's get a coffee, or an Internet connection, in the afternoon one day. #win #thankyou #thingsimlearningat24 (at Kennington)

Soho moments. Soho is such a wild place. There is an abrupt coming together of east, west, the new age and a craving for history, depth and meaning and shallow feeling. I walked past a door that said 'young Thai model upstairs', and we all know what that means... And a second later I'm distracted by some kind of intoxicating dim sum deal that catches my own senses and drives my mind to my stomach. I walk past windows of bookstores, with men and their beards pretending to read, and maybe some actually reading, drinking the best flat white ever and heading upstairs later to check out the antiques. I met a 20 year old Romanian girl sleeping rough because she came over for a job that fell through. She has to stay till her flight home in 1 month because she has no income to change the flight. She sleeps in the park. Buzzing and vivacious I'm reminded suddenly of KINKY BOOTS and LION KING and JERSEY BOYS and swanky, eager tourists queueing up to complete their weekend in London with the perfect treat: west end wonder. All in the same place I find these things. So easy and painful it is to be distracted from the dark in the world of bright lights. soho, I love you dark and light, and Jesus loves you far more #soho #London #JesuslovesSoho #thingsimlearningat24 (at Soho)

The face of someone who got out of work early and is going to see he BFFs get dedicated to Jesus and our church family! #dreamdays #THANKFUL (at Wembley)

Day at the rugby with Dad 🙋🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏉🏆🚇💛 (at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park)

Good Evening, Sir. #wackingoutthebigguns Heading into four final shifts on Labour Ward tomorrow - by Friday my first year will be complete. I have pushed myself far further and harder than I thought I'd be able to. Turns out when you work hard, you get better at working hard, and being at the end of yourself becomes a better place to be than being the super control manager of your own life. Floating on an ocean way out of my comfort zone and finding that Jesus never lets you sink. #thingsimlearningat23 (at Imperial War Museum)

Holiday feeling. (at Kennington Lane)

Beauty girls back on the snog bus. Felt kind of weird and definitely wonderful being back on the bus we spent our first afternoon together on almost a year ago. So much has happened since then!
