Part twwwwwooooooo of what the wonderful people who endorsed Finding Flourishing have said about the book! I’m so appreciative of these people and their words. I really hope you enjoy the book too! 💜

21/07/2024

Some wonderful people agreed to read Finding Flourishing before it officially became a printed book, and to my delight, agreed to endorse it! I’m so grateful for their wonderful words. 🥹 Here are some of them, with the other half to come later in the week. 💜

Finding Flourishing is a different take on work-life wellbeing. I’m not asking you to do more - not even more rest, really. It’s simply a call to live life more intentionally, concentrating on where you need to be *present* over where you need to be productive. Being present with the family all day, might mean the self-care plate isn’t spinning quite as hard for a minute. This DM from someone who messaged me recently echos the this sentiment entirely. Prioritise some plates, pause others. The world will keep spinning even when your plates aren’t.

Keep going. Keep growing. 💜

P.S. Finding Flourishing is published this Friday and is now available to pre-order. Check out my bio for more info. 📕

Guess who recorded their audiobook today?!? 🙌🏽🥳

I’m so delighted that Finding Flourishing now has an audiobook coming soon! (Exact dates tbc). The process working with Elliott today at was brilliant. I can’t wait to hear how it all sounds when it’s done! 🎧

This whole getting a book out into the world thing really is a whirlwind - but I’m so grateful for it all. Ten-year-old me who loved reading and writing, 19-year-old me who was writing scripts as part of my dissertation, and 25-year-old me, who decided to sit down and start writing a blog about life and faith that very first time, would be proud. 💜

08/07/2024

Swipe to the 8th slide for the Finding Flourishing contents page and the sort of themes we’ll be discussing during our book club! 📕💜

02/07/2024

Of course I have goals for the book, which I hope and pray will be met. But over the past few days, I’ve been thinking about the prayer I have for Finding Flourishing. So today as my daughter napped, I jotted down some of what I pray for those who choose to read my book. I pray it blesses you. 🙏🏽

Finding Flourishing is now available for pre-order wherever you buy your books online (HUGE thanks to those of you living in the states who have already bought and paid the shipping. It will be on US Amazon soon for ease!) 💜

The story so far 💭💜

Finding Flourishing is now available for pre-order 🎉 pre-orders really help new authors like me and so if you like the idea of work-life wellbeing from a faith perspective, which doesn’t ask you to add more to your to-do list, Finding Flourishing is your book! Available wherever you buy your books online.📕

F I V E! 🎈

Micah, you are an absolute joy and you just get better with every year which passes.

Sometimes I wish the internet wasn’t such a wild place so I could share the wonder that is you on these squares. But those who know you already know…

You are kind, you are super smart (we’re all trying to keep up 😅), you know your own mind, you’re an incredible big brother, you’re funny and you bring joy (and random facts) to everyone you meet. You are *so* very loved.

We love being your parents, and by God’s grace, we look forward to seeing you THRIVE AT FIVE! 🤩🙌🏽😘

It was such a privilege to be asked to speak at last weekend. I left with my heart completely full. 💜

Teaching a seminar, walking a group of women through the story of the woman at the well in John 4 pretty much verse by verse brought me so much life, I can’t even really articulate it.

It really has been a minute, but I’m so glad He’s making a way for me to come back to work like this. The feedback was so kind, affirming and served as confirmation. The Lord is at work.

Watch this space for what’s next. And feel free to get in touch if you’re looking for a Bible teacher at your next event. 📖 I’ll make that much more official on my website ASAP. 😅

I shared one of the key verses from the text with my ‘nurture note’ subscribers earlier and I’ll share some musings on it here tomorrow. 💌

Thanks so much to everyone at for putting together such an incredible conference. 💜

MANUSCRIPT SUBMITTED ✅🎉

After taking 48 hours to celebrate, reflect, and rest, I thought I’d pop on to share the fact that on Friday, I submitted the first draft of my manuscript for my book, Finding Flourishing (which is being published in July 2024). 🎊

The last few months have been some of the busiest ever for us as a family in different ways, and by God’s grace, we’ve still managed to get this manuscript over the line in time. I’m so thankful 🙏🏽

Grateful to friends and family who have supported me so amazingly over the past few months. From prayer, offering to take the kids for a bit and even for taking me out on Friday for an impromptu Prosecco with four kids between us in a micropub 😅 I feel so loved and cheered on. Thank you so much.

I’ll share more about Finding Flourishing in the new year, when I begin sharing more with you on what this book’s all about. I’m so excited. It feels wild that it’s actually out of my head now and into 30,000 words +. God is faithful.

Get ready for work-life wellbeing with a faith-focus for 2024 and beyond.

Keep going, keep growing. 💜

1. Celebratory bubbles pt. 2

I got a very exciting email yesterday, which made this whole ‘I’m an actual author now’ thing quite real! My publisher at BRF Ministries got in touch with me with some provisional cover designs for my book Finding Flourishing and I asked if it would be okay to share my fave three with you as we consider what the final cover design will be in the coming couple of weeks. So please, if you do nothing else here in this little corner of the internet, could you please vote for the cover design which appeals to your most? All you need to do is put either ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ in the comments, or ‘like’ the photo which features your fave cover design. 🙏🏽

For those of you that are new here, hello 👋🏽 I’m Naomi, author, coach and mum of a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old. I’m currently writing my first ‘proper’ book, which is called ‘Finding Flourishing: Time & Pace for your work-life wellbeing’. It’s a book which explores wellbeing from a Christian faith perspective and is also packed with journal prompts, reflection + tools & tips for what work-life wellbeing might look like in a world where we’re juggling multiple responsibilities and ‘balance’ is, quite frankly, unobtainable. It’s going to be officially released in July 2024. 🎉

So, would you mind voting for your fave provisional cover design? All you need to do is put either ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ in the comments or ‘like’ the photo which features your fave cover design. 🙏🏽 Can’t wait to share the final verdict with you! And if you want to continue on the journey of this book coming to life, be sure to stick around. Thanks so much for being here!

Keep going. Keep growing 💜

📣 FOR ANY OTHER RECOVERING PERFECTIONISTS OUT THERE 👋🏽

It might not be all rainbows and butterflies. It might be more of a challenge than you first thought it’d be, going slower than you thought it might perhaps…

But if you’re doing it anyway, where others might have given up altogether, you’re making progress and that’s worth celebrating. Give yourself grace.

Keep going, keep growing. 💜

💬 "I wanted to do X, but really, I *should* do Y..." 💬⁣
⁣
I've heard this sort of statement an unthinkable amount of times when working with coaching clients. I'm not talking about people saying they 'should' eat a bit more healthily or they 'should' make more time to invest in the relationships which are important to them. But more things like, they 'should' shut their laptop, despite being in the flow of a really good piece of work, because it's late. Or they 'should' wake up at 5am every single day because it's what seems to be required in order to be successful. 🥱⁣
⁣
💭 What if there was no 'should'?⁣
⁣
What if we stopped comparing ourselves and our desires with everyone else's in order to fit in, and instead, carved out a lane which made sense for us without the need to explain ourselves? 👣⁣
⁣
This is why I'm so passionate about 'work-life wellbeing' over 'work-life balance'. I don't believe in balance really. Sometimes, you'll be juggling a million balls and someone will suggest you 'should' put one down, despite you becoming quite the accomplished juggler for that period of your life. 🤹🏼⁣
⁣
Similarly, you might be in a season of rest, recharge and reflection right now, but feel you 'should' get on with X. How long lasting are your efforts going to be if you're only making them as a result of guilt-tripping yourself? 👀⁣
⁣
Don't get me wrong, the way society's set up for most, means that there are certain rules we have to follow in order to provide for our loved ones etc. But before embarking on our next step, let's at least take a few moments to think about the motivation behind the move and where it's coming from. ⏱⁣
⁣
Perhaps it's time to shed the should. 🤷🏽‍♀️

A big part of the ‘intention’ aspect of the TIME framework is how your daily to-do connect with your main goals/objectives…⁣
⁣
It’s easy to go through the motions, and to honest, a lot of time we have to. However, if we daily go through the motions, those days will become weeks, weeks-months and those months will eventually become years.⁣
⁣
Ask yourself if you’re being intentional about the right things as you execute on your daily to-dos in order to avoid mission drift.⁣
⁣
Keep going. Keep growing. 💜

As I study for my ILM 7, I’m reading more books (albeit half a chapter or so each night once the kids are down before my eyes start closing 😅) and discovering gems like this on every page.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When I, pre-children, first started coaching leaders & budding/new entrepreneurs in 2016, I’d put *so* much pressure on myself to have the answer and to be the answer to the challenges my clients presented. In reading Nancy Kline’s fantastic book ‘Time to Think’, she makes the point about the fact that despite people presenting you with a problem, they may actually have the best solution within themselves. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In other words, ‘the pressure’s off’. No, not in the sense that you now abdicate your leadership responsibilities and suggest your team/clients lead themselves, but rather, you lead by empowering them to see if there are any potential solutions themselves. Doing so removes a culture of dependency and brings about healthy and collaborative teams/working relationships.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m so looking forward to coming back to coaching more informed and equipped and am excited to see those ‘ah ha’ moments in action.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Remember, this approach isn’t easier and certainly requires more patience when it comes to asking the right questions, waiting for longer than you usually would. I think this is part of the reason it wasn’t something I practiced particularly well in the early days. But the more I read, the more I’m sold on it being so worthwhile. To be honest, I’ve met people with massively difficult circumstances who have been able to adopt this way of thinking and it’s been humbling.⁣
⁣
Now I’m not for one minute suggesting that this way of thinking is possible or accessible for everyone. It’s not perfect, like much of what we read of on these squares isn’t. But it may just alleviate some pressure and uncertainty for leaders in any capacity who think that *they* have to be perfect in order to be helpful or supportive. We don’t. Keep going, keep growing. 💜

As we wrap up the week where we’ve been talking about the first pillar of the T.I.M.E framework ‘Thankful’, let’s turn our attention to Negativity Bias. What are your thoughts on it? Have you let it rule the roost for a touch too long? How might being thankful give you an opportunity to think about things in a different way too? Would love to know your thoughts on this. Keep going. Keep growing. 💜

04/05/2023

Love that Colossians 4:2 is YouVersion’s verse of the day today. 🙏🏽 Yet another reminder that gratitude is good and is God’s idea. When we’re watching for the things around us which are good, (however hard we might have to look), we have an opportunity to be thankful and to therefore change our state. It’s not always easy no, but it’s worth it. Keep going. Keep growing. 💜

02/05/2023

My son brings a library book home from nursery every Monday. Last week, this was the one I found in his book bag. When it came to bedtime and a chance to read the book, I was immediately struck by the use of the word ‘ordinary’. It’s mentioned several times on every page. ⁣
⁣
Do you ever have those moments where you see a word so many times that it starts to look weird and then you start questioning if it’s actually a real word at all? (Just me?! 😅) You just suddenly start really noticing something you’ve never really thought about before.⁣
⁣
The ‘T’ in our TIME framework here at Time & Pace is for ‘thankful’. Not in a toxic positivity ‘let’s ignore the world’s problems’ type of way, but rather in a ‘noticing the good things around you which you normally don’t give a second thought.’ ⁣
⁣
Gratitude is the foundation of our framework because it speaks to our mindset in a way which grounds us. Focusing on what’s good yes, but not because we’re ignoring what isn’t, but rather because when we have goals we’re going and growing towards, it’s good to pay attention to the positive references around us with thankfulness - the things we’d otherwise overlook or ignore.⁣
⁣
Feeling thankful does so much for our mental and physical health. It’s not always an easy thing to do and so rather than plucking things out of thin air, why not pay attention to what’s always been there? Keep going. Keep growing. 💜

“Will no one care?”⁣
“Will people question what makes me ‘qualified’ to be the person who can write on this?”⁣
“Will everyone think I’m showing off?”⁣
“Will people question how present a mother and wife I can be with these additional ‘jobs’?”⁣
“Why hasn’t X said anything?”⁣
“Will I be able to actually do this?”⁣
“Did I hear from God wrong?”⁣
⁣
These are just some of the thoughts which cropped up after pressing ‘post’ on my news yesterday (see pinned post). ⁣
⁣
These are also however, the kinds of thoughts which lived rent-free in my mind for years, if not decades of my life. Back then, they were listened to a lot more than they are now and as a result, I wouldn’t have pressed post or publish. Instead, I’d have paused, procrastinated and pushed down the possibilities for fear of being ‘too much.’⁣
⁣
No more.⁣
⁣
It’s not easy to do - that voice hasn’t gone anywhere. I’ve just learned to turn her down a bit.⁣
⁣
The truth is, I don’t feel qualified. But God qualifies the called and so that part isn’t my problem. I do worry about how I’ll juggle it all. But I’ve also set myself realistic time frames and boundaries. Side note, although we see what people say yes to on social media, we often don’t see what people have to say no to as a result.⁣
⁣
I get that I’m *very* privileged to be able to work flexibly from home around my children & that working alongside my husband means I can switch certain things around in order to make space to write & study. There have also been times where I’ve written in the dead of night after a full day of teaching + volunteering at church and pretty much zero people have cared. It’s all reality. It’s all learning. It’s all grace.⁣
⁣
As well as talking to myself, this is a post for anyone else who knows imposter syndrome’s grip, whatever your current season in life requires of you. ⁣
⁣
God goes before you in solitude and on stages. Both are good. Both are needed. Both are grace.⁣
⁣
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”⁣
‭‭(Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬-‭21‬)💜

After much deliberation and prayer, I’ve arrived at the decision that I sadly can no longer continue running Hope Held. I LOVED going through the gospel of John with those of you who joined me (thank you!) and whilst it would have been wonderful to continue, there’s some MAJOR stuff happening with work with Time & Pace and beyond. When we say yes to things, it inevitably means we say no to others and I don’t have the capacity to keep up with posting daily devotionals + raising two small kids + work right now. I never say never, so maybe I’ll be back. Maybe not. But for now at least, that’s a wrap. Thanks so much for being here! Tune into Time & Pace TOMORROW (this page!) for the big update 💜

P.S. I tried to change the name of this page to Hope Held sooo many times but Facebook kept refusing my request! God must have known it would definitely remain the work page for Time & Pace in the long run 😊

12/02/2023

I’ve loved going through John’s gospel here - remembering the works of Jesus and walking through the gospel right until the end. It’s felt a little like a whistle stop tour at times and I’ve wondered if I gave the book enough time, but it’s certainly been refreshing and powerful.⁣
⁣
As this verse indicates, John’s gospel doesn’t even go into half of what Jesus did and the truth is, He’s still working today. He’s still speaking to and through us, still present by the power of the Holy Spirit. ⁣
⁣
I hope you’ve enjoyed revisiting this gospel together. Thank you so much to anyone who’s liked or commented on anything. Being a pretty new channel, it means a lot.⁣
⁣
All will be revealed re what’s next soon. So watch this space 👀 And huge thanks again for being here. 💜

10/02/2023

Reading the whole of John’s gospel in quick succession and then arriving ag this infamous verse means it hits home a little more than usual. Of course, Jesus knew this would be the end (which was obviously just the beginning) but reading of all the signs and wonders, the miracles, the betrayal and the persecution - all to land here. Thankful we know the end of the story. 🙌🏽

Pilate and people pleasing… a thread 🧵

07/02/2023

When reading John 18 today, I found this question from the ‘John 13-21 For You’ study hugely helpful… “It is easy to say that Jesus is all powerful even in the face of strong opposition but harder to believe it when you yourself are standing against attack. How does this account of Jesus’ power and yet submission to God’s will help you have peace in the face of calamity and trouble?” 🙏🏽

05/02/2023

Today at church during worship, I felt a stirring in my spirit - I believe it’s a word in season. Certainly one for me and I hop it’s one for you too. Here’s what I felt ⬇️⁣
⁣
“The greatest victory for the enemy would be us believing the lies he consciously and subconsciously feeds us above God’s truth He declares over us. If we choose to continually live small and shrunken lives due to fear, doubt, pain and beyond, we’re letting the lies look louder than the truth. It’s time to shed the false narratives and walk in His truth.”⁣
⁣
And then this evening when I read John 16, this verse stood out. Because of the FINISHED work of Christ, the enemy now stands defeated. In Jesus, we have the victory. We’re not fighting for that place, we lead and live FROM it. ⁣
⁣
Be reminded of this truth today and any other day you need a prompt directing you towards who and Whose you are. 🙏🏽

04/02/2023

No caption required for this one really! 🙏🏽

I feel like John 14 and 15 could have their own 5-week study in their own right 😅 here are just 5 of the themes I’ve picked out over the past couple of days. What’s struck you about these chapters if you’ve been following along? Share in the comments ↘️

02/02/2023

Been reflecting and ruminating on John 14 and 15 today and the through line really lands in this verse. Going to be sharing some thoughts in the next day or two but for today, a question from John 13-21 For You (PG 34) ⬇️⁣
⁣
‘Verse 6 is controversial today. How might you explain to a friend that it is still true today and still the foundation of true life?’

Sometimes ‘pushing through’ seems to be the most convenient option. There’s the thought that pausing means falling behind, missing out, being the weak link… Allow my 1-year-old to give us that reminder that a bit of a pause and a rest is sometimes what’s needed in order to regulate, regroup and remind ourself of what the best next step is. What’s your rhythm of rest? Keep going. Keep growing 💜 P.S. It may or may not be appropriate to lay yourself in the middle of the floor at the point you need rest. Act responsibly 😂 #restisbest #restisproductive #timeandpace #keepgoingkeepgrowing #pursuepeace #findingflourishing #thetimejournal #workingmum #selfregulation

Just a quick one for anyone who has, upon occasion, found themselves feeling guilt when joy shows itself. Don’t let the ‘smiling is toxic positivity’ gang fool you into believing you’re not allowed to feel anything but despair. Don’t get me wrong, with the way society’s set up, there are many reasons to hold onto negativity. We all will also face our own personal challenges too. It certainly *is* toxic positivity to pretend(to ourselves and then everyone else) all is well when actually we’re anything but. And yet, in those moments we’re granted peace, happiness, joy, excitement and everything in between, you don’t have to suppress the smile. Let us share in your joy. Keep going, keep growing 💜

I had a coaching session this morning and my client came to the call feeling a little… ‘meh’… you know the feeling, right? 60-minutes later, she walked away from our session with fresh excitement and a plan of action she felt excited about *and* capable of following through with. To be clear, this isn’t a brag, not even a ‘humble brag’ 😅 coaching is far less about the coach than you might realise. No, actually, the reason I share this fantastic quote from Alexander Den Heijer is because the ‘lightbulb moments’, and indeed, the ‘lightbulb life rhythm’ (the kind where you feel like, by and large, you’re doing what you’re made for), happens when we make time for the stuff which sparks a light in us. It’s not always easy to make time for those things, no. It’s a little easier to make a start though.

👇🏽For anyone who needs a reason or a reminder to REST this weekend… 🧘 Rest is the beginning of the work 💜 Happy Friday 👋🏽

Imagine my surprise when I received this video from the wonderful @mrssechere, who recently purchased The Time Journal and took it with her on a work trip to Modena, Italy. 🇮🇹⁣ ⁣ Love seeing how this framework is benefitting people, especially in gorgeous surroundings like these. 😍⁣ ⁣ Have you got your Time Journal yet? It’s currently 20% off 🎉 Learn more via the link in my bio. Keep going, keep growing. 💜

🌱 Grow as you go 👣 Many of us will have heard of productivity ‘hacks’ such as “Eat the frog first” and setting a 25 minute timer with 5 minute breaks in between in order to see how much you get done… I’ve both taught and practiced these methods and others like them. Coming from another angle however, rather than *only* thinking about your to-do list from a productivity perspective, what if you gave it some thought in light of how you’re developing as a person and a practitioner as you do some of the less desirable elements of your list? ✍🏽 The arduous admin task you’ve been putting off could be an opportunity to practice patience. (Or delegation if you *really* don’t want to do it. 💬 The challenging conversation you need to have could be an opportunity for you to practice effective communication, problem solving and even conflict resolution. 📚 What you’re going to learn from the pile of books you need to go through is only going to cause you to be a more effective practitioner in the long run. So next time you’re scraping the barrel of your to-do list and wanting to do anything but what’s written there, ask yourself how you might be growing in your going. 🌱👣

Here at Time & Pace, wellbeing isn’t about a set activity or way of living. It’s not about a set of perfectly spinning plates or about making sure all of the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed. Literally defined, if wellbeing is about being comfortable, healthy and happy, how on earth can that be prescriptive?⁣⁣Yes, we have the TIME framework, which I’ll be unpacking again this week since I’ve been on mat leave for a while. But as you’ll note as we go through, the framework is a container which helps you go and grow towards *your* goals (whatever they may be). There’s nothing I’m really telling you you must do in order to get there.⁣⁣Drop in the comments what wellbeing looks like to you? ⬇️⁣⁣It’s so exciting to be more ‘officially’ back from maternity leave, as my brain is whirring with allll the things to be sharing here, as well as full time parenting, studying for my coaching qualification and writing a book! Speaking of the book, a HUGE thank you for the love and support on the news. I’m delighted to be writing a book on wellbeing for BRF which will be published next Summer. Follow along for updates here as I share all things work-life wellbeing, supporting you as you go and grow towards your goals. ⁣⁣P.S. It’s pretty apt timing to pick up Tobi Asare’s new book ‘The Blend’ (as featured in the reel with my daughter trying to get her hands on it 😅) Looking forward to getting stuck in. Keep going, keep growing. 💜

When Mary was commissioned by her Lord, whom she thought was dead to go and tell a room full of men that He was actually alive, she went and did it without question. What can we learn from this kind of obedience? 🙏🏽

Perhaps not especially profound but certainly worth some thought - how much attention are we giving to talking about our plans vs actually following through on doing them? 🤔

When Jesus prays for me, I want to know what He’s praying. John 17 shares exactly that. As Jesus prays to the Father, He asks that we’ll be in Him and He in us. He knows that without Him we can do nothing, just like John 15 says. May we seek more of His presence and walk more in His purposes. As we hit the final week of the study, this is definitely something I can’t escape since re-reading this gospel. It’s all about Him. 🙏🏽

Promise this isn’t a ‘oooh check me out doing exercise’ reel. Just being a multitasking mum out here and getting my reading in at the same time as the steps I didn’t get done during the day 😅 Some musings on John 14. 💜

2 Corinthians 1:20 says: ““For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.”⁣⁣Reading about the promises in Isaiah being fulfilled in John 12 got me thinking about the promises God has for us which we can also find in His word, and how readily we’re clinging to them. ⁣⁣Which of His promises are you holding onto today? They are yes and Amen in Jesus. 🙌🏽

Delay isn’t always denial. 🙏🏽

The one who comes to steal, kill and destroy would have me focus on the nightly broken sleep, the lack of time to myself, the constant noise and mess and the moments of loneliness. ⁣⁣The One who came to give me life and life more abundantly has me recognising the privilege which lies in the fullness of raising and discipling two young children, the purpose in being called for such a time as this to be their mother, the joy found in gummy grins from the baby and insightful and delightful questions from the pre-schooler.⁣⁣I don’t always focus on the latter. I’ll sometimes feed on the fact that it’s hard at times and tell myself half-truths which serve no purpose but to make it harder and me more frustrated.⁣⁣Life to the full is now. Even if there’s sometimes the cost of silence, hot tea, alone time and doing stuff on my own schedule. Life to the full is now.⁣⁣Today, I really got it when the psalmist in chapter 119 says in verse 97, “Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long.” Being in John chapter 10 whenever I get the chance these past couple of days meant that today, when everything was getting a bit crazy, I called John 10:10 to mine again. I’m so thankful for His word, His sanctification and His strength.⁣⁣Life to the full is now. 🙏🏽⁣⁣P.S. If you’re new here, we’re reading through John’s gospel. Head you the pinned post and the ‘johns gospel’ highlight on IG to learn more. 💜

The man born blind became what was known as a ‘pariah’ - a social outcast - once Jesus healed him. All because, ironically the religious leaders of their day didn’t approve of his recognition of Jesus as Lord.⁣⁣What I found especially powerful about this verse from John chapter 9 was that it indicates Jesus ‘found’ the man, which can only mean He went looking. ⁣⁣Regardless of where we are, how we feel, or what we’re going through, Jesus will find us. 🙏🏽⁣⁣P.S. If you’re new here, we’re going through the gospel of John and the plan is in my pinned post. I share a reflection or piece of food for thought daily. If you’re following along and find the content here helpful and know anyone else who also would, please do share! Thanks for being here. 💜

Who are your ‘inner circle’ + fear of God 👀⁣

Bit of a roundup of some of this week’s reflection through John 5-8. Found taking some time to go verse by verse with the assistance of our devotional/study book really helpful today. I’ll put the reflection questions I mentioned up in my stories in case you want to make a note 📝⁣ ⁣ Apologies for the screaming children in the background 😅 real life over here 💁🏽‍♀️

Some musings on the nursery run - the whole ‘relationship not religion’ thing is more than just something for a bumper sticker or a hashtag. If 21 year old Naomi could see me now she’d never have believed it! 💜
