Living a Life of Love & Obedience
Lemon intently listening to C.S. Lewis Lecture on Eros Love, while standing on my Bible. My Prayer Warriors, I can't believe another month has gone by and yet I can. 8 months down, 4 to go. Thank you for any and all prayers. This month was particularly tough with what felt like an abnormally heavy assignment load, at the time of year when my work is truly it's hardest and the weather just won't give us a break.

Month 6 - Growing in Prayer & Faith
Hi my prayer team / warriors. I didn't write a post updating you all on last month, "Being Transformed by Scripture". Because, well, I struggled. Big time. I didn't connect with the readings and was very much stuck in my head. However, in the vain of full transparency and vulnerability, I am attaching my very ranty and down-heartened response paper for October 2025: As always, never forcing you to read it. Needless to say, I was grateful to complete last month. And despite my
