When Being Drunk Is Good

From the song “Happy,” to the hundreds of advertisements promising true happiness, our world is on a constant search for something that will make us happy. Many times, we think it’s something superficial – like money or going on awesome trips. If that’s true, then why are celebrities often so miserable? Why do many famous…… Continue reading When Being Drunk Is Good

Victory in Jesus

Yesterday, as I was sitting in the car, my mind began to wonder. Sometimes when that happens it’s a good thing, a creative idea will come to me or I’ll remember something I had forgotten. Other times, when my thoughts drift off, they’ll jump onboard the “Fear/Anxiety Train.” Unfortunately, I was on my way to…… Continue reading Victory in Jesus

Resting In God When The World Is Going Crazy

This past year, my senior year, I duel-enrolled at a local college. During my second semester, I took Bio 2 and found it fascinating (minus one section *ahem* parasites/bacteria/etc). Anyway. We were learning how everything on Earth is connected and how global warming is affecting it. Here’s the short spill on it – I promise…… Continue reading Resting In God When The World Is Going Crazy

Darkness Fell ~ Part 1 of an Easter Story

“Die he or justice must; unless for him some other able, and as willing, pay the rigid satisfaction, death for death. Say heav’nly Powers, where shall we find such love, which of ye will be mortal to redeem Man’s mortal crime, and just th’ unjust to save, dwells in all Heaven charity so dear?” ~…… Continue reading Darkness Fell ~ Part 1 of an Easter Story

The Battle Is Not Yours

“And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s,” ~ 2 Chronicles 20:15 Back at the end of January, I was reading a book series.…… Continue reading The Battle Is Not Yours

Challenging Feminism

Originally posted on BeautyBeyondBones:
Lately, it’s been really weird to be a woman. Not because of any fashion or makeup trends…although, I will say…I don’t quite understand the reemergence of the shoulder pad. But because of all the recent hyper focus on…feminism. The Women’s March, International Women’s Day, protests, walk outs, I mean, we get it already……

My Story

Well, this is probably waaaayyyyyy overdue. XD A little procrastination gif for all my fellow procrastinators out there 😉 But, getting down to what this post is really about…my story. More of my testimony really. Feel free to grab a coffee or chocolate chip M&M cookies *coughnotthatI’vebeeneatinganycough* and read on. Growing up in a Christian…… Continue reading My Story

My Thoughts

As some of you have likely heard, in the new live-action Beauty and the Beast, they are going to have a clearly gay character: Le Fou. I had seen a link about it earlier, but did not think much of it. They would not do that to such a classic, well-loved story – and one…… Continue reading My Thoughts

And Everything Was Still

“Be still and know that I am God,” ~ Psalm 46:10 Know: be convinced or certain of, have understanding of, perceive directly, have knowledge of. Still: free from noise or turbulence, devoid of or abstaining from motion. Last December (I know…a long time ago, but I’m a senior so 😉 ), I felt God reminding…… Continue reading And Everything Was Still

Love

Love: a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties “Mommy.” A mother looks down at her three-year-old son. Dirt is smeared across his face, though a brilliant smile shows his baby white teeth. His once yellow shirt, is now covered in splattering’s of strawberries, purple paint, and something else that she…… Continue reading Love
