Welcome to my blog!Whether you have stumbled across me or responded to an advert somewhere, I welcome you.
I hope you are well and having a nice day!

It would be rude of me not to introduce myself before you read any further, so hello, I’m Ellen. I’m 25 years old, teacher to 27 10-11 year olds in East Dulwich, youth leader at Beacon Church, Brixton, sister to 2, niece, daughter, granddaughter, friend and ultimately, follower of Jesus.
I love…
my job, music, gigs, hanging out with friends both out and in, going to the cinema, shopping, driving down the motorway with music so loud I can feel it under my feet, Revive youth group, dancing around the house to Glee, Paramore and the odd bit of Take That, red Vespas, singing loudly while doing housework when no one else is in, laughing at The IT Crowd and Miranda, dressing up, the view from the top of Greenwich Park, Starbucks, playing my guitar (currently quite badly) and many more things and people. I’m really passionate about church planting; I would like to be involved in many more before I die! And worldwide mission. There are many places that haven’t yet heard the gospel and the challenge of being somewhere where I don’t speak their language, purposefully for the glory of God, is incredibly exciting!

Who I’m not…
a woman who has her whole life sorted. I worry about things, far more than I should, even though some people think I look pretty peaceful and appear happy. Most of the time I am! But life comes with difficulties sometimes and I am learning, with God’s help, how to handle those situations. I’m not married and I’m not a mum, both of which I would like to be, but I know it’s not my time for that yet! Meanwhile, I’m enjoying being who God has made me to be and trying to live the best I can in this time that He has put me in.

The reason why I am starting this blog is to follow through with something I feel God has called me to do. I know that He has called me to be a support to young women and I’m hoping that this can be a little bit of support or inspiration if you need it. My aim of this blog is that you can just read weekly posts and then have time to think about them.
I’d love to meet you too! Please feel free to introduce yourself, I’d love to hear from you!

As I was thinking about starting this up, I was thinking about all the things that interest me and what I could write about. As usual, my mind drifted to lovely things like clothes, shoes and bags! But mostly, all the things I carry around with me in my bag. There are usually so many things in my bag I have to clear it out all the time! I’m sure I am not the only person that this happens to…?
So for example, in my bag, if you were brave enough to go through it! You would find my purse, phone, iPod, mirror, paracetamol, keys, make up, chewing gum and the list goes on. And as I thought about all these things, questions sparked in my mind relating to lots of things that I carry in my bag.

So my blog posts will mainly consist of these questions that have come up that relate to various things that come oh so naturally to us women.
