Sometimes all the lights go out in your life. There doesn't seem to be any hope. Nothing can satisfy you. Everything hurts. The world seems hopeless. The pain, suffering, and brokenness of the world slaps you in the face, leaving you feeling stressed, desperate, and lost. I've been there, done that. More than once. This is another o[...]
Hey, everyone! This is another old post I wrote that got lost in my drafts and never published, so I thought I'd share it today! I wrote this on June 6, 2016, right before we were leaving for our trip to Canada! I can't write as much content on this blog right now as I normally could because I'm hard at work on a new project to be announc[...]
This is a short post I wrote back on May 5, 2016, that I never published. It talks about how to find true, lasting happiness. With all that goes on in my own life, I need this - the TRUE way to get LASTING happiness. Believe me when I say these are just the basics. Since then, I've had my faith seriously tested over and over again, a[...]
When's the last time you took the time to stop and reflect on what you're passionate about? Do you know how important that is? Life is too short to not be passionate about something. Maybe more than one thing. God has designed each one of us with our own special gifts, talents, stories, dreams, passions, etc. So when's the last time[...]
Sometimes you can't sleep. No matter how tired and worn out you are, sleep will not come. Sometimes this is part of facing the consequences of looking at your phone for two hours (haha guilty as charged; there's no better time to check Facebook than at eleven at night). Most of the times it's because of fear and relentless anxiety as[...]
Do Christians really need to read the Bible? You would be shocked at how many professing Christians never read their Bibles. We're actually doing a study at my church right now about the importance of God's Word and how to study it, which makes me feel the need to write this post that much more. When I was a new Christian back in 201[...]
Wow, long time and no writing on here unfortunately. I miss writing on this blog, and more than that I miss all of you!! Well today, seeing as it's been over a month since my last blog post, I thought I'd just make sure you all knew I was alive and all that good stuff. Why haven't I been blogging? Well there was a week towards the end of[...]
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[...]
2016 was . . . hard. I'll just be honest about that. It was hard in a good sort of way, though, because with God, no trial is pointless, and no pain is meaningless (Romans 5:3). In my 2015 recap post, my first sentence was "2015 was amazing." 2015 had so many fun times, and yes it did have trials, but through each of those trials it[...]
