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[...]
Almost a year ago, my mom and grandparents and I traveled to Sioux Falls together for an appointment for them. We were tagging along to help them with it all, and it was a gloomy sort of day where we suspected to run into some rain. We hoped to beat a storm that was brewing on the way home but instead got stuck right in the middle of it.[...]
Dear Lord,Before I go into my requests for a new school year (TOMORROW, wow—just when I think time drags, haha), I must first humble myself and allow You to work through me, and to do that, I need to pray that I would have a pure heart this year, that I wouldn't get stuck into the old mindsets I had with freshman year. I don't want to m[...]
Last night *at the time this post was wrote* I had a blast with my family and some friends of my dad's attending the Nationals at Knoxville. I posted a lot of photos on my story (yes...I actually got back on Snapchat, just to have some sort of social media that can help me interact with people my age; my username is "sparklesbyablog").[...]
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[...]
In our day in age, there are a lot of people who don't believe in God. It is our job as Christians to tell others about Jesus and share his hope for us. It's the heart of what I do, and I've written LOTS about it. here is why I do this and am so passionate about Jesus: This is Why why I believe it's our purpose to be a light: Why Being[...]
The main theme and mission I chose for my blog and life in general is to be a light, and I encourage others to as well. I feel like everyone has a main message they stand for. You can stand for a lot of things, but there’s always that one big theme above all. Mine is being a light, and there is one huge reason on why I chose that f[...]
I have a lot of pet peeves, but this one in particular. I really hate it when people claim they have God, but their lifestyle could not prove that to be more wrong. It really upsets me because I feel like that isn't fair to the people who truly want to live for Him. This generation has forgotten what it means to show faith. You can s[...]
