I've been spending a weekend with my grandparents for Christmas, and it's been enjoyable as always! I always cherish the times I have with them. How has all of your Christmas breaks been going? Mine has been good; I've read so much, haha. Today Grams, Mom and I went out to eat at Godfather's, our tradition. We do this a lot, and Mom[...]
A year ago, I wrote this blog post about why I believe life is beautiful. I don't necessarily disagree with that post, but I've learned a lot more since then, and I wanted to update it. Plus when I was younger, all I did was rant about things, and I never used any Scripture to back up my thoughts because it does not matter what I'M s[...]
On Tuesday back in September I had a cross country meet. It's been awhile, but I haven't forgotten the pain it caused me. They have a nice way of reminding me how out of my mind I am thinking running could ever be fun. The meets feel just pretty much like torture. As a teenage girl, I'm prone to exaggerating things. Naturally I'm ki[...]
I absolutely loving share the hope--the true hope--of life with people. Especially broken people that see no hope. In my previous three blog posts, I've wrote three personal letters to you. Yes, they were to YOU. God wants you to know what He did for you and how much He loves you. So we talked about that. First, it is crucial to know[...]
In my last two blog posts, I get a little more personal than normal because I really wanted you to feel that they were targeted specifically at you. I mean, all of my blog posts are written for YOU to bring glory to God and encourage you in your relationship with Him. But I really wanted you to grasp those like maybe you wouldn't ano[...]
I wrote a letter to YOU the other day. It was very important because it's something the God of the universe wants you to know. It talks about how Jesus died for all of your sins. Why did he do that? Because God loves you so much. Oh, how He loves you. Today, I want to write you another letter. And this is for YOU. If you think you do[...]
Why did Jesus die for you? How do I know he died for me and for you? Can I earn this? Am I good enough for this? Is it too late for me? I wrote a blog post awhile back. Think January 2015 back. I was reviewing a devotional book that talked about why Jesus came, and I was going over my thoughts on the blog. I'm going to do a short fou[...]
Dear Heavenly Father, First of all, can I just stop and thank You for how amazing You are? You really are, God, and You are the perfect Father. You have taken care of me so much over the past week. That doesn't mean everything went perfectly. But You carried me through when it didn't, just as You promise (Isaiah 41:13). With that bei[...]
It's human nature to want to be special. To want to be remembered. To want to be different. To want to be the first at something. The only person super good at something.... Gotta love jealousy. I'll tell you a secret: I can be a very jealous person and want a lot of glory for myself. I can get very jealous very easily when people te[...]
