Of all the malls near us, I would say Jordan Creek is by far my favorite. They have the best variety of stores in my opinion, and plus I just think the overall architecture/layout of their mall is pristine and inviting. I've had good memories over the years of going shopping there with my friends and with my mom and sometimes even my[...]
There are an innumerable amount of problems in this society, and as I grow up, I realize how complex some of these really are. You know, when you're young, it's so easy to just say something and then be on your way, even with faith. It's so easy to just say something like to trust God, but then you get older, and there's so much complexit[...]
Remember my post from yesterday where I talked about (a) how fast time is going and (b) I'm so overwhelmed with thoughts to write about that I don't even know where to start? It feels weird to just jump in with a super deep, serious post since I just came off of my long blogging absence from June 2017, but I'm itching to write those posts[...]
I've been unplugging from the world lately. It's summer, and on my first day of summer, I knew something had to change. I've taken a big interest in psychology lately. I think it's amazing how everything in life stems from your mind. Including how you look at life. And I knew I needed a new perspective. I've hated my thought life for[...]
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[...]
I used to do a weekly post recap every Saturday called Saturday Sparkle! I got inspired to do it by a blog I liked, and now I want to revisit this series and add my own spin on it. These posts will contain four things: first, a recap of posts I've published over the week; second, what's coming in the following week; third, what's goi[...]
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[...]
Unpacking. I just finished unpacking after spending a few days with my grandparents for Thanksgiving. Every time I'm with them, I find myself always having a great time and, honestly, I never want to leave. But there are of course things I love about being back home, and I'm glad we came home today so that we still get a weekend befo[...]
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[...]
