Hello, everyone! I hope you’re all having an amazing weekend! Today, I am doing a collaboration with my fellow blogger, Malaya. She blogs over at Life Abundant about her faith and about the lessons she has learned as a Christian. Before you read the Q&A, check out her beautiful blog here. It’s been so much… Continue reading Q&A with Life Abundant
This was one of the best weeks I've ever had. It was fun, exciting, and challenging. About 3 years ago, I was connected with a penpal through Clubhouse Magazine. We both love Jesus, and we share birthdays too. This past week I visited her, and we went to a Revive Our Hearts recording together. This… Continue reading ROH Recording and Valentine’s Day!
“I just don’t think of my life in terms of blogging.”, my dad began to say after listening to me. I had just explained something I had been learning in life, but I applied it differently than most people would: I looked at the applications and ideas so I could write about it in a… Continue reading My Life As a Blogger
I was upset. We had always been the family getting compliments and the little kids receiving smiles for our good behavior in the grocery store. Now my little brother was throwing a fit, and my mom was punishing him in public. This time, we only received disapproving glances and stares. This was not the kind… Continue reading The BLESSING of an IMperfect Family
Isn't snow beautiful? My town got a heavy dusting of snow a few days ago. I could hardly believe it. Seriously, it's not even Thanksgiving! 😳 But as the sun disappears and cloudiness prevails, I have been reminded how wonderful snow can be. God designed snow as a bright and beautiful thing. It is white,… Continue reading Are You Thankful?

I hadn't moved for four years, and Illinois had become my home. We had prepared for this, but… Continue reading Book Review and GIVEAWAY!!!
1 Peter 3:15 "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect". Thinking takes a lot of work. In fact, sometimes it's so hard to think about a… Continue reading Teenager, Don’t be Afraid to Think Hard
I sigh as I look in the mirror. My hair is a mess, my face just had an outbreak of acne, and I feel depressed. I've worked on trying to get a hairstyle right for an hour, and I just can't make it look like the picture online. Finally, I give up and settle for… Continue reading Beauty, Insecurities, and Contentment
Tears streamed down my face. I had tried so hard to follow the rules and had failed. I was stuck and didn't know what to do. I'm in a big, Bible believing family, and I have gone to church all my life. I would say that I've always seemed pretty religious. I've seemed to be… Continue reading My Testimony
Hey there, friend. I know how hard it is. Moving is tough, and today I want to encourage all of you who are moving this summer. First, I want you to remember that God is with you. Even if your friends desert you; even if no one welcomes you, God is still there. Even if… Continue reading An Open Letter to the Girl Who is Moving
