Introduction I heavily debated what I should write about this week in light of current events. However, this post is something that God has put on my heart as something that needs to be published today. With that being said, I still wanted to include some resources for how you can help bring awareness to and make change in the racial injustice goin[...]
*trigger warning for general discussion about mental illness and for church/religious trauma. If you are concerned that this post could trigger you, please stop reading and catch up on another one of my blog posts.

Introduction To continue my For the Christian Girl Series (you can read the first post about doubting your faith, here, if you missed it), I am going to be writing about something I never understood until recently.

Note to self: I'm still learning to grow. Please be patient.Me Introduction I'm not a very patient person. I think it runs in the family but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with playing mariokart on my DS. Unfortunately for me, this game had what I considered to be a long loading time. Looking back on[...]

Instead of living in the moment, we distance ourselves from everything. In doing so, we distance ourselves from every opportunity for positive change. We do less living and more moving forward with our eyes wide sh[...]
Introduction Whenever we had nothing to do in sixth grade Bible class, a couple of friends and I would play hand games. There were the classics that everyone loved like, Lemonade, Miss Mary Mack, and Chopsticks. There was one that was far superior to these classics and all other hand games, though, "Concentration." It was like manna on our four hun[...]
Introduction In light of current events, I am aware of how easy it is to feel scared and stressed about the near future. That is why I am creating a 20 day challenge of sorts to help us not feel alone or bored when we are staying at home. Most importantly I want to start this challenge to prevent us from feeling overwhelmed by all of the negative n[...]
