Mental Illness: Whodunit?

Hey, you know what I just realized? Last week's post was my 50th post ever, crazy stuff! To think that a year ago the Lord prompted me to start this blog to bring Him glory and now He has enabled me to continue to know Him and make Him known is amazing! Anyways, just thought …

Godless Finish Lines

Man, I visited another college yesterday, and what I thought was figured out is now becoming complicated and calling into question what I thought my future was going to look like. All I can do now is trust, obey, and follow the Lord wherever He leads me day by day. Like with college, everyone faces …

Worshipping a Mirror

This has been on my heart and rolling around in my mind a lot lately. More and more I'm finding that worship songs are focused on self more than God. Sometimes, standing in a church service, it will go entire songs without mentioning the name of God once, isn't that crazy? A time meant for …

God’s Not Just Big, He’s Good Big

*Read with caution: uppercase/lowercase nouns and pronouns are intentional and important, it gets a little theological so buckle up folks* Though I don't read as much as I feel like I should, every once in awhile I'll pick up a Christian book to slowly work through on vacations, during standardized testing at school, that kind of thing. …

God’s Not in the Box, You Shouldn’t be Either

Whether vocational, social, relational, whatever it is, we are to do everything as unto the Lord, right? So why do Christians still fall into the "inside the box" mentality when serving the One who is outside of the laws of time, space, matter, and consequentially, the box? I naturally tend towards the box, I see …

Man-Made vs God-Made

This week in my Bible class my teacher asked us a question, "What would you say to someone who claimed to be a Christian but picked and chose what parts of the Bible they thought were true?" I think this is a pretty common occurrence in modern-day Christianity, especially in the postmodern world that we …

We’re All in This Together

Yes, the title is a Highschool Musical reference. Don't judge me too hard, it was an integral part of my development as a person. Anyways, I wanted to shed some light on something that I think is really often overlooked in Christian communities, and I'll go so far as to single out Christian young women. …

I’m Trying to be like Sunflowers

So this week has been pretty heavy for my family and me. My Pop-pop (my grandfather on my dad's side) has been sick for quite some time now, but this past week he passed away. Thankfully, I can speak with hope, because in the last few months of his life when his mobility was limited, …

Sabbath and School- A Struggle Bus

If you're like me and have started school again, you should probably go take a nap (after reading this post of course). You need it, I need it, we all understand. I don't know about all of you but I have just been absolutely slammed by the beginning of this school year! I know that …

Popped Trash Balloon

Hello everyone! It's good to be back writing again, I missed posting last week because of a family vacation but I have since returned to normal life (a sad, non-beachy, not eating goldish for every meal kind of normal). "Popped trash balloon" is quite the title, but may be more relatable than you'd think. This …
