Change & Trust

My brother and his family just moved 14 hours away. That may not seem extremely painful to you, but it has been for me and my family. My brother has ALWAYS lived basically next door. He and his wife have been married for nearly ten years, and have added 5 sweet kiddos to their family …

Hope For 2020

"HOPE" is my word for 2020.  I would not describe myself as a pessimist. I don't assume that bad things will happen, but I do assume that nothing will really improve (a realist maybe?). I do not truly HOPE and believe that good will happen. I know a lot of the truths of God, but …

To All Of My Fellow Singles…..

Quite a few people have been coming to me for advice and resources on being single lately. That fact, coupled with my aunt’s encouragement to start writing again has brought me to this post, so here goes! I have been single for my entire life. I have never been in a romantic relationship, so I …

The Greatest of These Is Love

How many of us have read I Corinthians 13? Probably everyone reading this post has read that chapter at some point, but how many of us actively apply it to our lives? It is so easy in Christian circles to get caught up in debating different doctrines, and trying to make our brothers and sisters …

A Tribute to Mum

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching once again, and it always makes me think of romance, chocolate and flowers. Doesn't it you? But that is not what the day is all about. It is about showing love to those around you by giving encouragement, and serving others. This could be manifested in a million different ways, …

An Open Letter To My Sister

Dear Freckle, There are so many things that I want you to know.... #1- I'm so thankful that YOU are my sister. God could have chosen anyone to be mine, but he created you to be the perfect sister for me, and I'm so grateful.  #2- I don't know what I would do or who …

Pity- Party of One

Have you ever had a pity party? I'm sure you have since you are human just like me. They're so encouraging, aren't they? You get to tell yourself just how wonderful you are, how nobody really understands the trials you are going through, and how you deserve better than what you are currently experiencing. Sound …
