Your time at university could be the place where your calling comes alive! As disciples, we are called to let our light shine before others (Matthew 5:14) wherever we find ourselves, whether in a relationship or not.

Are you ready? 'When Jesus returns, we don’t get to say goodbye to our friends and tie up loose ends, or pack up our belongings for safe keeping.' If you’re anything like me, you love having a good morning routine. Mine currently involves a cup of tea, weetabix with strawberries (which our lovely neighbours deliver over the fence for us) and making a...
