A Garden of Faith
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 So many things in life take faith.

Godly Speech

And every year, millions of people choose not to celebrate Christmas, either choosing a different day, different holiday, or not to celebrate at all. Among Christians, I’ve found the latter options more and more common every year, an interesting development. I can understand … Continue reading Why I Celebrate Christmas
Book Review: The Memories We Painted
To say I loved this book would be an understatement. I read it cover to cover in an afternoon and needed exactly 3 tissues. If you've been following me very long, you know that I firmly believe that God uses books to shape us and draw us closer to Him. The Memories We Painted did … Continue reading Book Review: The Memories We Painted
Seasons Without Fire
Sometimes, it is really easy for me to feel left out and forgotten. Like everyone has (or will have) their happily ever after except me.
