Lately I’ve been listening to a few sermons, and they’ve been making me think; primarily about purpose but most importantly, about passion. I’ve been questioning myself and wondering why as a person there are very few things that I‘m passionate about, and why very few things move me; and if I’m honest with you, it scares...

Hi all, Just a short one today. There might be a longer post about it sometime in the future but for now we’ll leave it here. So, I’ve just recently started a new job and it’s got me thinking about what I need to do to succeed. And I’ve really just started to realise the... Continue Reading →
