For some, venturing into the realm of "death" sounds morbid, but for us who know our home is with God, we should be talking about the life that awaits us all the time. I want to write more about what I've learned on heaven and the new earth; in the mean time, I have to point you to Randy Alcorn's book Heaven as life-changing. A lot of us[...]
Oh, success, the thing probably most Americans and people as a whole strive for in one way or another. I had to write an essay about my definition of success in high school with supporting factors that make up success. I think it was okay, but consider this my revised and ultimate essay on success. Maybe not ultimate since I still have a[...]
I actually enjoy sad music. That's not all I listen to; I like a healthy variety because otherwise I could just sit in a corner listening to sad music and depress myself into oblivion, but I find music as a whole so therapeutic, and some honest, reassuring, relatable, yet hopeful lyrics are necessary for me. They help you feel less alone[...]
Let's dive right into a loaded question. After my previous post, I know my younger self would have never doubted this question; it's a hardcore yes without even thinking about it. But this is one of those things that time and age and experience in a sinful world can make you think twice about. AND, it is something that lots of Christians[...]
Haven't we all wished at one time or another to write a letter to our younger selves? Or just be able to go back and tell our younger selves something important we wish we'd known sooner? Or what about the opposite—do you ever wish your younger self could give you some advice NOW? Maybe at times you feel like you've lost your way, and[...]
I am so excited for this post!!! It's been in my idea queue for awhile and I've been waiting to finally get to it. I know I've mentioned the group, known simply as Scripture Lullabies, on my blog before. They make exactly what they're named for—beautiful, melodic songs with lyrics that are Bible verses. They say they can be played for[...]
There's a concept I've struggled with honestly since my childhood, and it's especially prevalent in the Christian community, even though you'd think otherwise. I'll cut straight to the chase: it's the fact that very few people want to be completely honest and vulnerable about and with their struggles. And this is seriously a worldwide pr[...]
As I said in my post sharing my favorite life lessons from a movie I love, Courageous, this movie specifically encouraged me in my singleness. This post should be pretty brief, but it's something worth touching on separately. When I first saw this movie, I was literally only 8. It was a bit traumatizing for an 8-year-old but as w[...]
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[...]
