Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I've been wanting to create some sparkly graphics and wallpapers with some of my favorite quotes and Bible verses for you all, if you're interested in that sort of thing. Probably my male readers won't be...sorry. ;) They'll mostly be pink and shiny, but hey, the words are still good, so. �[...]
I have several Christian movies that inspire me, but one that I could watch constantly is Courageous from the Kendrick Brothers. They actually just re-released the movie last fall, calling it Courageous Legacy—it's still the same, but they added some content and it's edited better. My roommate at the time and I went to see it twice in[...]
As promised, here is my post that did, in fact, take me more than six months to finally publish! I talk a lot on here about my favorites: favorite movies, favorite songs, favorite quotes, etc. because when God brings certain tools like those to help encourage and further develop me, they end up meaning a lot to me and can be something I[...]
You guys, I could cry. I hate to start another post out with "ya I'm actually not dead just inexcusably BUSY" but almost a year later, here we are again. I would say a lot has happened, and for me it has, but mostly it's just college being college in that I really don't know what free time is anymore. No but in all seriousness, most of t[...]
It's amazing how easy it is to get weighed down in all the wrong things. It's not anything new, either, so I won't harp on it, but I notice that people continually make life harder for themselves than it needs to be. We don't like the outcomes we get, but half the time we're the ones contributing to them. I want to talk about some of[...]
Something special that's been a constant for me since middle school is time spent with my family at hockey games in Wells Fargo Arena, watching the Iowa Wild and other AHL teams play. I've written about them several times on my blog, like here or here and even here, and I've yet to fulfill my goal of going to an NHL game, but I've alread[...]
Last fall when my high school was doing hybrid classes, on one of the "online" days for PE I had to plan my own workout for half an hour, so usually I would walk around my property with Willy for that time. While doing that, I always marveled at the different sights and views of my property, especially as the autumn season really settled[...]
Picking a favorite Bible verse is very challenging when you come to know and love the Word so much. It's right up there with picking just one favorite song for me—I have so many that have encouraged me and that resonate with me. Picking favorite books out of the Bible is challenging, too, especially since the more you read it, the m[...]
It's fitting to be coming out of my blogging hiatus with a post on distractions since that's exactly what my college transition has felt like: one distraction after another. That hasn't been all bad, but in many ways I feel like I've had to learn how to live all over again. That probably sounds more dramatic than it actually is; all thin[...]
