National trust is the GOAT 🔥
11/20 Mostly because im not letting none of *my* friends near my babies
You're too cute ❤
Hehe ly ❤
I'm so glad you made it there! Always prepared with a reason also 🙌🙌
Yess amen!! Was definitely worth it ☺️
I've read so many of these and LOVED them - so I know I've got to track down the others.
Love that!!!
this store looks amazing!!! I wish I could go it makes me so happy to see bookstores like this!💕
Yay I’m glad!! Maybe one day you can 💕
You look like a Jane Austen heroine!
What a compliment!
Their name is bath....? Thanks kinda sad
Bath is a place in the UK!
True ... We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up (1 Corinthians 8:1). Happy reading.
That’s the verse I was thinking of!! Thank you!
And a part two to my previous comment! You can trust the politics guy to give out inaccurate information, so I'm going to correct the record! Toppings is in Edinburgh, but not in York. It may also be found in Ely and St Andrews. I also bought a book from toppings in this vlog, I bought all the wide border by Mike Parker. It's a book about the border between England and Wales, and it has a photo of the castle in my hometown on the cover. I'm really looking forward to reading it as it has been on my book list ever since it was published!
Haha no worries!!! And happy reading 🤓
I'm going to make the case for the rugby fans when it comes to pronouncing Bath! Come on you Baaaath! 😂 Privileged to be a part of this vlog. Thank you Lydia. 😊
Hahahaha! Thanks for being my tour guide around Bath and its bookshops 🫡
Couldn't go through with all of loml
I hear you
Such beautiful bookshops!! God bless you <3
God bless you!! I know right 🥹
Bath is beautiful! I'd love to visit...well, lots of places in the UK. 😂😂 I might fight you on the biggest Lewis fan title. 😂😂
I’d highly recommend! My first time here and it’s beautiful ❤️ (Let’s make a C.S. Lewis fan club)
@@lydiahoughton Good idea! 😁
I love Reflections on the Psalms, but I've not seen the other two anywhere! I thought I had everything of his, so now I'm so excited.
It's baf. Nice dress, you look beautiful ❤️
Ah that’s kind thank you! And that’s how I say it too 😂
What a breath of fresh air! You are both blessed and a blessing. It's taken me a VERY long time to finally get serious about my faith journey, having called myself a Christian for far longer than my behaviour would ever have witnessed to the claim. When I was at university in the early 1990s, I was part of the Christian Union but my immaturity as a young man then left me too distracted and seduced by my new freedom and the worldly temptations around me for it to take hold as it should. Fast forward 30+ years and I am only now approaching the stage you have described here. Better late than never, I suppose but I do cringe at the person I used to be. God bless you and thanks so much for posting this.
Thanks so much for sharing and praise God for His work in your life.
Wait. So is cárdigan a bad song to listen to. R u saying I shouldn’t listen to her as a whole or particular songs bc I’m not a swiftie. Respectfully I don’t rly like her music but I only listen to the cardigan Edit audio. Is that bad
I’m not saying you should or shouldn’t tbh! But for me personally I decided to cut all her music out. Pray about it 💕
Ok. Thank you so much
She has claimed to be a Christian but is not living like she is she's always bashing anyone who is for the Bible. She honestly took a dark path and we def need to pray for her and others like her. You are righ tthis is false worship so much.
Amen! You’re spot on, especially about bashing Christians in the last album unfortunately.
And that is why the scripture that says.... By their fruits ye shall know them! What are her fruits? answer yourself truthfully, ....and of course we need to keep her and ouselves in prayer, because God loves us all.
@@barbarahouser2193 yes absolutely!
Truly inspiring thanks Lydia.
God bless you thanks for your comment
Thank you for your recommendations. God Bless!
No worries!! God bless you
@@lydiahoughtonTolkien’s Lord of the Ring has many Christian themes. Accepting burdens and bearing one’s cross, accepting one’s sinful limitations etc. Tolkien was a very devoted Catholic.
@@HarrisonRackemann thanks for this! Yes I’ve read the first one. Great that it includes Christian themes but I struggled with the pacing of the plot 😭
God is good all the time We love you from Nagaland north east of India
Amen! Thank you so much 😊
Hi Lydia, I just came back because I was gonna start on this and then I saw that you had a part 1 so I went over and came back but anyway I am so Glad I fount your channel, I recently got into reading and also a lover of the lord and a believer and I had to subscribe because your content is so real and your passion is real and I have been trying to look for Christian books and your channel will definetly help me with That so thank you and God bless you ❤🙏
Hi! SO glad you're here and thank you for such an encouraging comment!! May God bless you in your reading journey ☺
I've also read the Red Queen Series. It was quite interesting. Didn't realise what I was in for.
Thanks so much for sharing!
God bless you girl, your comments are always so encouraging
Thanks for the video. I've read Seeking Allah Finding Jesus. It's such a great book. I would also highly recommend it. And a whole category for C.S. Lewis. That's what's up.
So glad you’ve read it too!! And yess you know 🙌🏼
My tbr is a mile long at this point just from watching your videos 😂 if you haven’t read it already, I’d suggest ‘Gentle and Lowly’ - it’s such an incredible book so far and I’m not even halfway through
Best comment ever that’s such a compliment 😭😭 TY for the recommendation!! I’ve got it but will bump it up my TBR because of this 🫶🏼
Off the back of your recommendation of Knowing God Lydia, I'd love to commend Sovereign Grace Music's 3 new songs to you all! Here's the youtube link. ruclips.net/video/AA0b1fkfvT0/видео.html They're all songs based on that book. They are all wonderful songs to be singing.
You always have the best music recommendations!!
I have written an opera about Gomer and Hosea
That’s so cool!
A whole category for C. S. Lewis? You are my kind of girl!
YES girl!
Right!?! 😂
Hi Lydia!! C.S. Lewis seems to be your favourite author haha. Ya know i'm all about the fiction books!! God bless you <3
Yess absolutely!
I can relate to this. I have experienced anxiety before. True. God restores. When you pray, God leads you to the things you need to do and how to get your thought process transformed. Kindly let's connect.
Love this comment, you’re right & praise God!!
I prayed to God that my anxiety is taking me over an i need help, an he sent me your video Lydia 💕 thank you for this x
Praise Him, you aren’t alone. I literally know how hard it can be. May God bless you 💕
God bless You too, you're work is brilliant Lydia, keep it up x
I don’t know if this counts but I deleted Salt dating app from my phone. I honestly wasn’t finding any luck with my matches and needed to focus on my relationship with God. I also deleted TikTok and Twitch for personal reasons. These apps were becoming addicting for me personally.
Sometimes "Lord, help me" is the most powerful prayer you can pray because when we don't know what to do, he does, when we don't know what to say, he does, when we don't know what's troubling us, he does. While it might not be the most eloquent, "help me" is one of the most powerful phrases as we pray as we ask Jesus to help us! ❤❤❤
AMEN beautifully said ❤️❤️
and HE DID😭Abba, we ❤ u
YUPPPP 😭🙌🏼❤️
"Here lies a toppled god - his fall was not a small one. We did but build his pedestal, a narrow and tall one." - Dune Messiah
I’ve never actually seen/read Dune. What’s the plot? 😊
@@lydiahoughton Dune is a LOT so I will probably butcher it lol - basically a young man becomes the savior of the desert-dwelling popular of the desert planet Arrakis. It sounds like a typical "white savior" story on the surface but there is a lot more going on - it's a surprisingly unsettling story. Some of the main themes are ecology (how different living things work together in a system,) free will vs determinism (the inherent limitations of human understanding and the horrifying lengths people will go to in manipulating others,) and religious fanaticism. I would recommend watching the movies first before reading the books - I found that they both work very well together and emphasize different parts of the story. It is very worth your time - the sequel, Messiah, is worth getting through the first book alone (although the first book is awesome as well!)
Hey Lydia! If you stopped listening to TS due to her latest album, isn't it right if you keep listening to her early stuff or does it all need to be cut off from root?
I’ve personally decided to just stop listening to her altogether. Kind of an all or nothing situation. But I’m not saying this is what everyone should do. We must each make our own decision ☺️
Added the first book to my book list! At this rate i'm going to need a whole new bookshelf. 😅
Great thoughts here! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I'd rather go to hell than be brainwashed.
Hey! I'm interested at what makes you say 'brainwashed'? I only became a Christian aged nineteen, after lots of thought. The amazing thing is Christians believe Jesus took our punishment so, if we have faith in Him we're saved from hell. But we each have a choice in what we believe and I acknowledge that. God bless you 😊
@@lydiahoughton I will not have faith in a fictional character who apparently brings children to Earth so that they can suffer and die of cruel diseases like Cancer. What kind of sick person would do that to an innocent soul? If you want to believe in that, and go on thinking it is okay that people suffer, then go ahead but don't try to push your delusions onto others. Religion is behind so much evil that goes on in this world, and adults brainwash their children to believe in something and discourage them from thinking for themselves.
I felt convicted after hearing guilty as sin? Almost made me cry because of how blasphemous it was. Her live performance of daddy I love him makes me wanna cry too.
I hear you and I know it can be disappointing
I'm glad God got you through it (I too get anxious sometimes)
This could not have come at a better time Lydia! I have an acting showcase in two days and although I really want to do it, I’m incredibly anxious (seems oxymoronic for a performer I know haha) Thanks so much for this video it really spoke to me
Really glad to see another performer here! And I want to say anxiety is really not oxymoronic at all, because it shows in part that you care about your craft and what you're doing. Praying you'll remember you're performing for an audience of One who gave you your talents. 🌟
Praise God that this video was helpful!! Thank you so much for commenting. You are not alone and, like Joseph said^^, it’s not oxymoronic at all. Many can relate to your experience (myself included). I pray the Lord strengthens you. He’s got you ❤
@@josephwalliker6162 thank you so much Joseph for your kind words, the showcase went amazingly well, may God continue to bless you.
@@lydiahoughton thanks so Much Lydia and thanks again for the video. I performed today and I believe God was with me❤️
@@Pestopasta_ Amazing. I am so SO happy to hear that ❤
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Make sure to tell the people you love that you love them
Love that! We’ve actually had Mother’s Day in the UK haha. Have a great time if you’re celebrating!
Ive always loved Taylors Music. Since Blank Space i became hooked on all of her music. I realised what i was missing from all other artists i never got. I was sort of bored in comparison to her lyrics, story telling, melodies and then her as a person. Her new album has grown on me. TTPD. ( because 2 albums is a lot) but i have definitely noticed it is "tortured". It does sound dark. With words throughout like ki**ing, D*ing, g*ilty as *in, blo*d, priest, excersie my *emons , the prophecy, angels, *evils .. praying...asylu*. Flesh n blood, "di*. H*ll heavingly, god, worshiping, glory. i get she does this with her albums. She chooses words to create this theme that is the Art. ( feeling, the sound, emotion, story etc) this is why shes so damn good. But yeah i did find all these religious type dark words. Like its written by a witches perspective from the 18th century lol. Yes she wanted to give it this dark element as she was in a darker sad place. But for real christians it can be a bit "eeeh". Like this line: "The crown is stained but you're the real queen Flesh and blood amongst war machines You're the new god we're worshipping Promise to be ... dazzling" Beauty is a beast that roars Down on all fours Demanding "more" Like i get what shes trying to say. But, it does rub me the wrong way hearing it.
Thank you for sharing this. I completely agree 🙏🏼
I too enjoyed the sunny weather, and watching your video
