There aren't many topics I'm nervous to write about, but this is one of them. My ultimate goal on here is to be as real as possible with you all about the deep struggles of life, and this is certainly one of them, so why do I get insecure writing about my experiences with it? I guess it goes back to a lot of things I've internalized abou[...]
I am blown away, quite delighted, and yet mostly unsurprised by an exciting trend on my blog: according to several of my analytics platforms, my most popular post over the last few months has been my post on waiting for your future spouse. I'm excited about this because one of my areas of passion is relationships, specifically romantic r[...]
Welcome back! I am so excited to share pictures of our trip to the Grand Canyon with you. From the onset of planning this trip, I knew I wanted us to take a trip out there because I heard it was close (I thought it was much closer than it actually was, but we'll get to that...) and it is one of the seven wonders of the world! Plus, I kne[...]
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 have been waiting to write about this topic because I think it's essential as someone who is always reading and publicly recommending Christian fiction authors and novels. I'm going to be very up-front about all of this because people really have to address it honestly for there to be positive change. No industry is perfect, includ[...]
Gosh, it's been a long time since I shared some new book recommendations with all of you. I was going through my archives trying to find my last post sharing some of my favorite Christian and inspirational books, and I have not updated on that front in awhile. I've only wrote two posts on books I love: this one and this one. It is defini[...]
Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog if you're still with me after about three novels later with my high school blog posts. Throughout those posts, I talked about what God had helped me learn through high school and what advice I wish I would have lived out sooner, and one of the tools He used to help me grow was devotionals. I mentioned[...]
Oh my gosh you guys I am so sorry it’s been over a month since I’ve posted….. I’m not on another hiatus, at least certainly not by choice, but I’ve been more busy than I ever have been between balancing the workload of school this year and then taking driver’s ed, too. Thankfully that is about over—I just pray to God I pass[...]
Around three years ago I did a blog post talking about all of my favorite books that I also found to be really inspiring with life and faith. They were some of my favorite books as well at the time and still are; you can read all about them here! But now it's been around three years since then, and I've had the privilege of discovering a[...]
