Philippians 4:13
This is one of my favourite bible verses, and one I often think about. I am considering getting it tattooed, but I need to decide where. “I can do all things through God who gives me strength.”

Don’t Worry, Be Happy!
I’ve always been quite a worrier, so when Michael Schlact put this quote on Twitter, it seemed perfect! Not much else to say really, other than follow him cos he’s a great guy! “Worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but doesn’t get you anywhere.”

The Way He Was Raised
When I first listened to this song, I was kind of half listening to the words thinking it was an okay song, then it got to the end and it hit me, all of a sudden it made sense. Now it’s one of my favourite songs, I just love the story and how it builds right…

The Shoebox
I love this song by Chris Young, the words are lovely – and it reminds me of the box full of memories that I have collected over the last 10 or so years. Don`t forget the little moments They`re the ones that mean the most When the way home seems so far away Take `em…

Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father,…

Go Jesus!
In light of it being Christmas soon, here’s a cool picture that someone posted on Twitter last year. Made me smile when I saw it, I wish I had the t-shirt.

Holes in the Floor of Heaven
I love the words of this song by Mark Wills. Every time it comes on in my car, it makes me a bit teary. The words are so perfect, and it is sung beautifully. I’ve just put the chorus here, but the entire song is amazing. Cos there’s holes in the floor of heaven and…

Loved Ones
This is read every year at the Lights of Love service at Wheatfields Hospice. It’s a really lovely poem, with such a beautiful meaning. My Grandad was cared for at Wheatfields and they do such fantastic work. It’s nice to go back each year to support them. So many Christmas memories, Now touched by gentle…

Colours of Day
We used to sing this hymn in Primary school, and it was always one of my favourites. Looking at all the snow outside, the words ‘Light up the fire and let the flame burn’ sounded very comforting this morning! Colours of day dawn into the mind The sun has come up, the night is behind.…

Don’t Laugh at Me
I first heard this song on an episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition, when Mark Wills sung it to a little girl who had been burned really badly. I fell in love with the song and the words, it’s just beautiful. Here’s the lyrics to the chorus, and I’ve put the video below if you…

Spanish Lords Prayer
I got a Spanish/English Bible last year for Christmas, which has Spanish down one side of the page and English down the other. I thought it would help me improve my Spanish. Not so much, but I do like this. Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos Santificado sea tu nombre Vénganos tu reino Hágase…

Romans 8: 38-39
For I am certain of this: neither death nor life, no angel, no prince, nothing that exists, nothing still to come, not any power, or height or depth, nor any created thing, can ever come between us and the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus our Lord

Remembrance
I’ve just watched the Songs of Praise Remembrance special, and this poem was read. It’s a poem that is now synonymous with Remembrance day and captures the feelings perfectly. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of…

Thank God
Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God I heard this quote last year and it really stuck with me. It reminds me that God is with us through everything, and we should be thankful for everything that he does for us.

John 3:16
This is one of my favourite bible verses, and I made this poster a few years ago. I spent ages collecting the letters from my mum’s magazines and then getting them stuck on the page. I love how much this one verse conveys and how much it reflects God’s love for us.
