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[...]
Tonight we decided to go into town to get food because that's what happens when Dad is gone, and Mom doesn't want to cook. I didn't complain because this healthy person loves fast food. I was reviewing my summer goals the other day and noticed I was supposed to blog everyday. My immediate excuse for that is well, it takes time to typ[...]
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[...]
1. We are so blessed to live where we do. It seems like our country is getting worse by the day, and since we are drifting from God, I'd probably have to agree with that. But our country still has lots of good. I don't think there's any other place I'd want to live on earth. I have the freedom to write this blog. I went to church on[...]
I have mentioned countless times on this blog that you should trust God all the way. But you might be asking WHY? How do I know I can trust God and that He is really looking out for me? I promise you can. I see Him working in my life all the time, and I know He is looking after me. And you can totally let go and let Him take care of your[...]
Alright, let's admit it. I'm sure most of us have one social site we really love. You might not think that way at first, but think about how many times you check it, how many times you post, etc. Think about those news sites you check, or all those new movies and books and songs you watch and read and listen to. It's not bad to like[...]
It's not easy for me at school. Fortunately, I'm doing fine with the education part, but it's the social part that's hard. It is not easy being a Christian in today's world - and actually living it out. So many kids in my school have 'Follower of Christ' or 'God Comes First' in their Instagram bios, but at school? You'd never know t[...]
This post, truly, is kind of going to be a bunch of random ramblings. I've got a whole list of blog posts I could write, but now none of them seem fun to write at the time. I haven't blogged in forever, and I don't know why. Maybe some of my responses *or excuses* are I'm too busy, I don't know what to write about, or I don't have an[...]
