I will say right off the bat that I don't know if "art" was the right word for this, but it's no secret that "trends" and "times are changing"...but not for the better, not only in my opinion but in God's, Who knows us and what we need more than any "cultural shift," and also what research is beginning to show and even common sense/consc[...]
A couple weeks ago, I wrote about the harsh reality of knowing not everyone you minister to or pray for will be saved right away where you can see it or sometimes even at all. I learned this at a pretty young age and shared my story of coming to terms and making peace with that and the hope God provides nevertheless. Near the end of that[...]
In my last post, I mentioned some situations I felt had led me to begin doubting God. I think that I would have started doubting Him regardless of what happened because a big part of it was becoming a newer, more mature version of myself and not just the naive, innocent child who never dared question God because she believed it was wrong[...]
Before we dive into today's post, I want to thank everyone who has submitted blog post requests through my social media stories! It's great to get ideas from all of you on what to write about because then I know exactly what you want to read. I got some ideas for future faith and advice posts I'll be writing in the weeks to come, but for[...]
This is a hard post for me to write but one that has been in my queue since I was 13. I also wanted to title it "Yeah, I'm Judging You" at the time but I think the title I have now is more fitting. Why is this hard to write? Because this is a bit of a tricky subject to explain, especially in a culture that is so hostile to the truth abou[...]
As I've been constantly alluding to, I want to talk about one of my new favorite Christian fiction novels, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. This book caused a lot of controversy when its movie adaptation was released in fall 2021, but prior to that, I'd been under a rock about its existence—many Christians I'd followed proclaimed it[...]
I know I've said it several times before how much my mom and grandma have been such godly influences in my life. They have steadfastly stood by me since I was born, and they've never wavered in the depth of their love even as I underwent seasons of depression and anxiety and all around was very obsessive and cynical at times—including[...]
There is a certain Scripture Lullaby and Bible verse it quotes that always makes me pause when I hear it. As soon as I identify the lullaby, I know I want to listen to it, and a deep reverence falls over me. I have so many Scripture Lullabies I love, but this one is different because for me, it encapsulates all the rest. It's why they al[...]
For some, venturing into the realm of "death" sounds morbid, but for us who know our home is with God, we should be talking about the life that awaits us all the time. I want to write more about what I've learned on heaven and the new earth; in the mean time, I have to point you to Randy Alcorn's book Heaven as life-changing. A lot of us[...]
