Making exercise and working out a part of my life has been one of the best things I've done. I am fortunate in that I've always had an interest in sports and staying active, so it bothers me not doing anything like that. I enjoy moving my body and working towards physical fitness, and while it's definitely challenging at times, I can say[...]
Almost a year ago, my mom and grandparents and I traveled to Sioux Falls together for an appointment for them. We were tagging along to help them with it all, and it was a gloomy sort of day where we suspected to run into some rain. We hoped to beat a storm that was brewing on the way home but instead got stuck right in the middle of it.[...]
Ah, this is another post I've been wanting to write forever. It's no secret that I someday hope to be married and do put a lot of thought into my future marriage/husband; I've written two letters to him here and here. I've only scratched the surface, though, of this topic and my thoughts towards it, and since this is such a big thing man[...]
Organization is one of my passions, and while this post may seem a bit out of the ordinary from my deeper posts, one of my favorite ways to destress and praise God is through organizing the things He's blessed me with, and who doesn't need an organized closet? This is something I've gotten pretty good at over the years and developed my o[...]
I've written numerous times about the necessity of reading the Bible, the most recent where I list it as something you should be doing daily. I know that a lot of people feel lost on where and how to start, though. That was one of the main reasons I blew it off for awhile when I was younger. I loved to read, but I knew the Bible was diff[...]

That everything in your future and life depends on you and what you do to make it happen. That if you want to change your life, you can go ahead and do it. That if you're[...]
Over the years, I've been working on carefully refining my daily routines. Spontaneity definitely has its time and place, but I've found that I am pretty routine-oriented through and through. I need some sort of structure in my day-to-day life or else I find that inevitably various aspects of my health will be neglected. I'm finally at a[...]
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[...]
We have finally made it to the final post recapping some of the major things I wish I would have learned and taken to heart sooner in high school, with this post specifically focusing on the things I wish I would have known about senior year. You can read parts one and two here and here, and even though these posts are all TOO LONG, they[...]
