Shows that have got me through Lockdown

Well, I'm super bored today, so I thought I'd come on here and write about the shows that I've been watching/finished watching during isolation.

  • Rewatched Once Upon a Time
Right at the start of lockdown, I started rewatching OUAT I actually really enjoyed rewatching from the beginning, but I realized how silly the show is. I have a sort of love-hate relationship with it because all the characters do stupid stuff and say stupid things, but I love the story and the nonsense anyway. Plus, I can just laugh at it because the stupidity makes it funny.
  • Medici: Masters of Florence
This is an Italian Masterpiece, it's beautifully written. It tells the history of the Medici family in Florence. It's an incredible show that makes me laugh and cry, like really really cry!! The final season played just last month, and in preparation, I rewatched the first two seasons. The final season was so heartbreaking but so incredible. If you want to watch this it's on Netflix in the UK, I highly recommend you do watch it.
  • Rewatched New Girl
I watched this last year, but my younger sister started watching it for the first time during lockdown and we basically watched it together. If I ever want a great laugh, this is the show, it's just hilarious and it never fails to make me laugh no matter how many times I've heard the jokes.
  • This Is Us season 4
This show is another tear-jerker. I discovered it like 3 years ago and watched 3 seasons, but the fourth one came onto Amazon Prime just last week and I've watched already. This show, I guarantee you will cry at least once with each episode. Although it makes me cry, it is also so heartfelt and relatable and funny. If you want an incredibly written, heartfelt, show to watch, this will have you watching for weeks.
  • Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 7
Brooklyn nine-nine is a show I've loved for a long time, season 7 is playing on All 4 at the moment, so every Thursday at nine I cozy up and watch this funny, light-hearted show,
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender
I started watching this over 4 years ago with my eldest brother, but I never finished watching it. It recently came onto Netflix and I'm now on the last season, I've been loving it, it is so funny and moving and light-hearted. It's a great feel-good show.


This might have bored you, but it entertained me for a bit, so I don't really care. If you did enjoy this, I recommend you watch all these shows, most of which are on Netflix, apart from This Is Us, which is on Amazon Prime, New Girl is on both at the moment. Well, thanks for reading.

Life in Lockdown Part 3

Well, the world is a mess and there is a lot of real stuff going on. I feel like so much has changed in me and in the world in just one month. 

First of all, after the last blog post, I really did start to cheer up and get off my butt and enjoy doing things again. I've been enjoying painting and drawing again, in fact, I've just started a 30-day drawing challenge on my art account. I've really been enjoying the sun, some of my family and I went for a sunset walk at Red-Rocks beach the other day. I've also been busy with the last bits of college work, which is a bit boring, but I've almost finished now. I am enjoying most days, as much as I want lockdown to be over, I am coping with it better now than I was a month ago.







I think I've been enjoying this last month a whole lot more because I've really been putting a lot of effort into concentration on my relationship with Christ. I've been using Youversion and podcasts to really help me focus on God and Jesus and to really get to know Him. This past month, in fact, throughout the whole of lockdown, I have put so much time into spending time with Jesus that I am filled with this joy that I can't explain, I'm also filled with peace and confidence. I have this burning in my heart each day to read the word of God and pray and to believe in what I am living for. God has really awakened me to so much during lockdown and my heart has been broken, it has been healed and forgiven and my soul feels so fresh.


I don't think it's just me though, I believe God is on the move. He is awakening hearts and minds of the world to see the truth, to find God's love in all that is going on. We have been praying for revival and awakening, this is it. I feel God's movement within the church and I see it in friends and family. I'm so excited for what God will do this month. Yes, it may be heartbreaking, just as the start of this month has been, but I pray that through it all God's glory will come through. 
A while ago my dad preached on the word 'Breakthrough' and how to get the through, you have to be broken first. This is the breaking and God's about to breakthrough

God is on the move, let's take hold of His love and overflow with love to others, let's learn from all of this, let's listen to what God is telling us and showing us. It is time to awaken and give God the glory.

REVIVAL IS IN THE AIR
let's catch it!
