Come and rest a while.
I’m Fiona — writer, artist and creator of Bydand — The Abiding Place. Everything here is an invitation to rest in Scripture.
I was looking to find peace in a noisy world
I know what it’s like to carry a restless mind and a heavy heart. Bydand grew from those quiet, honest places.
Here you’ll find Scripture, rest, and the God who remains.

The Space Between
What if the gap between who you are and who God has called you to be isn’t a sign that something is wrong — but a sign that you’re still becoming?
The Space Between is an honest, grace-filled companion for the journey of spiritual formation. Walking with Peter, the churches of Revelation, and the quiet seasons of waiting and renewal, this book will remind you that you’re allowed to be unfinished — and that Christ is faithful in the middle of it all. Available now on Amazon.
