In the world today society likes to tell us females that we shouldn’t want to be feminine, that being feminine means we’re weak, inferior, or less than our male counterparts. Well, the bible shows us that being feminine is beautiful, it doesn’t make us weak. If anything, it makes us strong. I mean as women we have to deal with intense pains once a month, and the only way to get out of it is to give birth to a whole human, so yeah, I’d say we’re pretty strong. 

My Monday morning started as any would. I woke up, ate and then I headed to the library to get some work done before I went to class. What I didn’t know was that I would be in that library for over three hours.

To my Grandpa:

I’ve been trying to write something for the past month, but nothing has felt right. And then these past few weeks tragedy struck my hometown. Three young people I knew from my community passed away. Two of them I was close with growing up. Initially, I wanted to write about how God can give you peace in any situation, or that when something tragic like this happens you need to stay close to God, so you don’t become numb. But as I was sitting there thinking about these things, I knew that If I told you these things then I would have to live up to them, and I’m not quite sure I can. While I am at peace now, I wasn’t, and who knows If I will be when something else in my life happens. That’s the same thing as feeling numb. Right now, I’m letting my emotions free and I’m talking to God about how I’m feeling, but again who knows if I'll do this later down the road. So, while these experiences may have not taught me those things, God used them to teach me something else.  

In this piece I did something a little different. I didn't share a part of my story, but a story of a girl whose faith is impacting so many lives. Take a moment to read about her story, it's truly moving. 1 Corinthians 2:5

This past weekend I went to the mountains to a women's retreat for the Christian club I'm in. They asked me to tell some of my story, so instead of me writing about it, I decided to post the video. Just a forewarning, the video is very raw and emotional. I told part of my story I've never talked about, and one I'm still ashamed of, but One of the things I learned over the weekend was that God can use those moments to advance his will. So, I hope this video helps someone. 

Your foundation matters, but so does the way you portray how you feel when you go through storms.

This spring break looked different than usual, but it truly made such an impact in my life, read more to find out why. 

Sometimes we have to pull weeds in order to see growth in our lives.

Loving others can be hard, good thing we have a book to show us how! 

Ever felt like your relationship with God is one sided? If so, this message is for you!

For the Christian who is anxious, tired, or depressed, but also for the non-Christian who is feeling the same way, this is for you.
