Introduction

Welcome!
This blog is some thoughts, questions and challenges from a girl in her 20-30s. The blog will cover a wide range of topics looking at journeying life as a young adult. Callie Rose is a committed evangelical charismatic Christian so many of the posts will explore the issues through a lense of faith.

Some of the issues are quite personal so Callie is a Pseudonym and names and details will also be changed in any anecdotes used.

All of the posts are Callie's opinion so please do comment, and challenge but do so in love. Callie is totally up for a good debate.

Looking forward to journeying with my readers

Callie Rose

Extroverts and Introverts

I said I wanted to do a post about this, so here it is. Extroverted or Introverted? It seems to be the buzz question asked, particularly in community (at least that is my experience). And whilst I think it is helpful to understand and appreciate which one you associate with more, I feel there is a danger of becoming defined by this label. I am naturally extroverted and, as a result, thrive on being around people. I love going for coffee, hanging out with friends, etc. Being around people brings me great joy. But recently I have really learned to value being content on my own.  I can get into the habit of filling my time with people but burning out and running on empty. Or seeing people every night in a week and struggling to find time to journal and be with the Lord. There is a time and a place for even the most extroverted person to seek time on their own to just be. I have definitely had seasons in my life where I have let my extroversion define me. I used to dread being on...

Dating a Non Christian - some food for thought

Hello! It's been a while since my last post but hoping to get back into the rhythm and routine again. Today's topic is dating a non-Christian. This is something that has been on my heart for a while and, in fact, something I have personally journeyed through.  I grew up in a Christian family, went to church and was part of a youth group as a teenager. I had heard the 'don't date a non-Christian' debate many a time. The question always without a doubt came up when we had sessions at youth group on relationships. The answer was always the same - it was never a definite 'no' nor a definite 'yes', but there was always a sense of it being something that was frowned upon.  My experience is probably not unique. Many of the issues around relationships were discussed but it was always focussed on the 'don't do this', etc, but never really encouraging us to explore the reasons why. To hear Father God's heart for some of these big is...

The Season we are in

I'm aware that I haven't written a post since January and lots has changed since then. I was a bit reluctant to do a post on Covid as I just feel it's just all we are taking about at the moment but also felt like it would be wrong to not talk about it. It's such a unique season and it's such an opportunity for us to press in more to God and experience him in new ways. I just wanted to take some time to reflect on this season and share a few things I have/am still learning in this season  1) God is still in the throne and he has the ultimate authority This is something I am reminding myself of daily throughout this season. It seems like our whole world has been turned upside down but God is God and we can stand firm in the fact that he is the same yesterday, today and forever.  2) Take time to reflect on how you want your life to look once we head back to normality. This season has given many of us opportunities to try new things, establish new rout...
