Get to Know Me

Hi there, I’m Penelope!

I’m a Christian girl with a heart for Jesus and a passion for finding ways to dance with joy amidst the storms of this life. I’m passionate about writing and speaking encouraging words to those who are struggling to live out their faith in God, equipping you to face your trials with Jesus.

Quick Facts about Me:

I’m 26, born in New Zealand, raised in England, and living at home with my parents.

I’m a keen author, researcher, journaller and discipler.

I love nothing more than reading, whether it be a book, research paper or blog. If it’s written, I’ll read it.

Ok well maybe there is one thing I love more than reading, and that’s listening to stories being shared firsthand. There’s something so special about seeing someone tell of how Jesus has made an impact in their life.

I find great joy in walking with people through their struggles, serving them until they’re ready to step out and serve others again themselves. Building people up so they can go out and build others up too.

Growing up, I nearly always had my head in a book. I’ve always loved reading and learning from the stories of others. As I got older, books turned to blog posts and blogs became research papers. All with the aim of learning as much as I could about how I, and people around me, worked.

I later studied Psychology at university, as I was seeking to understand my story. I wanted to learn how I got to where I was, and understand the people and events that had shaped me along the way.

After years of searching for answers in books and papers and my own self, I finally found the answers I was looking for. That’s when I discovered the Bible. The book that speaks to us as we are invited to have a living relationship with its author, God. From then on, I’ve let God write my story. It’s not always been easy. Far from it! But I know, with God by my side, there’s nothing that I can’t face.
