Unforced Rhythms of Grace

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

Stories from Kenya: Day Four – Respond

February 1, 2016February 1, 2016 Shelley Moore4 Comments

I could quite easily say this about every single day in Kenya, but in many ways, this was one of my favourites. We had the chance to visit a Compassion project on the top of the great rift valley, and the views there were just breathtaking (and it made it super easy for sillies like… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Day Four – Respond

Stories from Kenya: Day Three – Rest Day

September 7, 2015February 1, 2016 Shelley Moore1 Comment

For me, Sunday was a real pivotal moment in Kenya. We were approaching the halfway mark of our trip, and I was tired. It sounds awful, but I needed a break from the intensity of the trip, and this Sunday was everything I needed. In the morning, we drove to a church that partners with… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Day Three – Rest Day

Stories from Kenya: Day Two – My Favourite Saturday

August 7, 2015 Shelley Moore4 Comments

Let’s not even talk about how long ago my trip to Kenya was now. I remember when I came back from India, I had ALL OF THE WORDS ALL OF THE TIME. But for Kenya, I don’t. Today is the first time in months that I actually want to talk about it. That’s not because… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Day Two – My Favourite Saturday

Stories from Kenya: Day One – Child Survival

May 25, 2015May 25, 2015 Shelley Moore4 Comments

Six months ago today, I was in a park in Kenya, in the presence of my sponsored child, Dorcus. In so many ways, I want to skip ahead of everything else that happened in Kenya and tell that story, but that would be like having a book and reading the last chapter first, so I… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Day One – Child Survival

Stories from Kenya: Five Months On

April 17, 2015 Shelley Moore2 Comments

Five months ago, I was three days away from travelling to Kenya with Compassion to see the work they are doing in this beautiful country, and to meet my sponsored child. Five months later, and I still don’t really have any words to describe my trip. It’s not that I can’t remember anything. I think… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Five Months On

2015 and adverts of hope

January 7, 2015 Shelley Moore4 Comments

This is probably one of my most favourite things on the internet right now. If you haven’t already seen this already, watch it. Actually, even if you have seen it…watch it again. I’ve seen this advert played on tv a hundred times in the last couple of weeks, and every time it makes me cry.… Continue reading 2015 and adverts of hope

Stories from Kenya: Some Photos

December 7, 2014 Shelley Moore8 Comments

I’ve been home from Kenya for a whole eleven days. In some ways, it feels like I only arrived home yesterday, and in other ways, it feels like I haven’t even gone yet. There’s still so much to process and think about, but I finally set aside some time today to go through the photographs… Continue reading Stories from Kenya: Some Photos

Kenya: 22 days!

October 28, 2014 Shelley Moore4 Comments

I’ve failed a little bit at talking about Kenya over the last few months {unless you’ve been stood in front of me for more than about 6.4 seconds…I can’t seem to hold a conversation right now without mentioning this trip!}. So many of you have told me how you have been praying for me over… Continue reading Kenya: 22 days!

Eating for Kenya #7

August 31, 2014 Shelley Moore2 Comments

I made it to the last day of my challenge to live on £1 for a week! And let me tell you. It’s been a very long week. Yesterday was the final day of my challenge, and it was definitely the hardest of them all. For the first time in my life, I was so… Continue reading Eating for Kenya #7

Eating for Kenya #6

August 31, 2014 Shelley Moore1 Comment

If I’m completely honest, I can’t really remember very much about Friday. Or about this week in general. I was really beginning to struggle with my energy and concentration levels on Friday, and I was beginning to feel the effects of not eating properly for nearly a week. The food that I have left doesn’t… Continue reading Eating for Kenya #6
