Now that I've been blogging for FOUR years (sometime this August was the beginning...you can read my first post here haha), I thought I would round up some of my posts where I share the life and faith lessons I've learned. Chances are that some people have not been following me since clear back then or maybe would appreciate going back an[...]

I don't know if I've ever been one to just follow my heart, a common cliche line that this society loves. This Bible verse alone should make you hesitant on following that advice: “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” — Jeremiah 17:9 NIV Lots of people just rush into decisions based[...]
You know, there's definitely a trend that I keep seeing among a lot of various Christians. And the more I think about it, I don't know if I like it.It's not that I necessarily disagree with it, but I just feel like it's almost sending another message that isn't good. And what I'm talking about is when Christians say to stop focusing on ou[...]
It seems like just yesterday I was entering fifth grade. Here in a week now, I'll already be done. A freshman in high school. That's actually hitting me now. Plus I ended up passing my driver's test, and I did get my permit, so you all need to stay off the sidewalks now. ;) I have been ready to be done with middle school for quite so[...]
Sometimes all the lights go out in your life. There doesn't seem to be any hope. Nothing can satisfy you. Everything hurts. The world seems hopeless. The pain, suffering, and brokenness of the world slaps you in the face, leaving you feeling stressed, desperate, and lost. I've been there, done that. More than once. This is another o[...]
Hey, everyone! This is another old post I wrote that got lost in my drafts and never published, so I thought I'd share it today! I wrote this on June 6, 2016, right before we were leaving for our trip to Canada! I can't write as much content on this blog right now as I normally could because I'm hard at work on a new project to be announc[...]
This is a short post I wrote back on May 5, 2016, that I never published. It talks about how to find true, lasting happiness. With all that goes on in my own life, I need this - the TRUE way to get LASTING happiness. Believe me when I say these are just the basics. Since then, I've had my faith seriously tested over and over again, a[...]
Do Christians really need to read the Bible? You would be shocked at how many professing Christians never read their Bibles. We're actually doing a study at my church right now about the importance of God's Word and how to study it, which makes me feel the need to write this post that much more. When I was a new Christian back in 201[...]
I promised to write a blog post dedicated solely to what God taught me in 2016. On New Year's Day, my family spent most of it traveling home from my grandparents' house. I really don't mind traveling, and I don't typically mind long car rides. They give me a nice opportunity to relax, think, and observe. And that's what I did. I jour[...]
