Well. You’ve probably figured by now that I’m a perfectionist. #hadtousethatgif Anyway. Now that we’ve covered that I am a perfectionist, the rest of this post will probably make more sense. As a perfectionist, legalism is something I struggle with. I want to do everything right. All the time. Ah. Mary Poppins. Sadly, however, I…… Continue reading Grace…Not Perfection
Journal Entry
“It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes,” – Psalm 119:71 There are many verses in Psalm 119 that I love, but I finally decided on this one. At six years old, I was diagnosed with narcolepsy and cataplexy. Narcolepsy is a severe sleep disorder. People, like myself,…… Continue reading Journal Entry
Love – An Acrostic Prayer Poem
For my Creative Writing class, I had to write an acrostic prayer poem about a topic talked about in the Bible. I chose ‘love’ and this is what I came up with.

Once Upon A Time
With the new season of Once Upon A Time starting up in a month, I felt that it was necessary to recap what our characters have gone through.

Questions
Many times, we as Christians can fall into the legalistic or Pharisaical trap. The trap of believing that we cannot ask questions or have doubts. Yet…that is not true.

No Condemnation
Me being myself and a natural perfectionist, I’m always trying to be perfect. Even though that’s not actually possible and the logical part of my mind knows that, I still find myself in that perfectionistic goal. Just this morning, I was starting to feel guilty (whether false or true) about something I had been thinking about.…… Continue reading No Condemnation

I watched Antman a few months ago, but until now have been too busy to write a review on it. With it being summer, however, I finally found the time to do it! 🙂 Antman follows the life of Scott Lang – a thief who was just released from jail. His friend and fellow partner-in-crime…… Continue reading Antman: Movie Review
Proclaim
In this world, it is critical for us to remind ourselves of all the Lord has done in our lives. So often, however, we can find ourselves dismissing that notion. Perhaps because of pride, or maybe we truly aren’t sure how God has been at work in our life. Psalm 96:2-3 says, “Sing to…… Continue reading Proclaim
