Fun story. We rented a car recently for a weekend family trip to Somerset to see some friends. It's a two and a half hour trip one way, and I've not driven since I passed my test 6 months ago! So we thought we take the car for a few practice runs on the day … Continue reading Lift home anyone?
Highlights from 2 Timothy
From the 14th August to the 20th August, I've been reading through 2 Timothy. Here are a few of the things which have stood out to me: Fanning into flames 1:6-7 Paul encourages Timothy to fan into flames the gift of God. He then describes that God has given us a spirit of power, love … Continue reading Highlights from 2 Timothy
Work Ethic
I read this week about the phenomenon of quiet quitting. Instead of leaving their jobs, many people have taken advantage of the work-from-home philosophy to do the bear minimum required for their job (Without getting fired). A lot of people have said that it is because their job doesn't give them 'meaning'. Reading the article, … Continue reading Work Ethic
Commitment to the blog
I decided I would pay the £15 fee to keep the website address as pursuehisheart.com. But not the £80 odd to renew the premium membership. I really didn't make good use of it last year, and I don't think I'm consistent enough to earn any serious cash-flow from this endeavour - especially with a child … Continue reading Commitment to the blog
Highlights from 1 Timothy

Here are a few of the things that have stood out to me: Stewardship > Speculations 1:4 Paul warns Timothy about being bogged down by myths and genealogies which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is … Continue reading Highlights from 1 Timothy
Focused
Parenting has changed me in lots of ways. I'm still getting to grips with most of them and probably haven't even identified half. But one of them is focus. Before having a kid, I had more free time. I'd be able to wake up at 5am most mornings and do whatever I needed/wanted for 3-4 … Continue reading Focused
Always be ready
One of the things I admire about the people I have read biographies for, is the number of them who would be able to deliver a talk or a sermon at the drop of a hat. Part of this ability is undeniably the work of the Holy Spirit and the person's reliance on Him for … Continue reading Always be ready
Time with God, when’s it’s been a while!
I recently had a driving test - which I passed! (Sorry, not sorry, to keep going on about it). But in the lead up to the test I found myself pulling away from God. My Bible times got less intense, my prayers became fairly surface level and I found myself drifting. When I was working … Continue reading Time with God, when’s it’s been a while!
Watch out Roads! – I Passed
Just wanted to quickly share some good news from last week: I passed my driving test! To be honest it was a pretty nerve racking experience, I don't usually get too nervous for tests. But this time it was undeniable. Even the examiner told me to calm down! 😀 7 driving faults to my name … Continue reading Watch out Roads! – I Passed
