I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but I promise I will post SOON!! In the meantime, I have been listening to this song a lot lately. It is really encouraging!! It's one of my new favorites! Be blessed!
Today I have a different kind of post than I normally write. A good friend of mine wrote and published her first book! She takes Biblical concepts and puts them into an adventure-filled story full of forgiveness and hope. Definitely worth the read! I encourage you to check it out :) A parasitic monster. A timid young woman. A deadly inner world. Giselle is cursed. A monster lives within her, preying upon her mind. She sees no hope for her future when thoughts disappear as they form, and every small pleasure is met with a fit of pain. Then her closest friend offers her a single, harrowing chance at freedom.

Now, the girl who can’t do anything right must defeat the beast within before her dreamsnare fills, or risk dying trapped in her own mind. What Readers are Saying: “This book excels at feeling cozy, heartwarming, and altogether lov...
"I said to myself, 'I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.'

My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.'" - Psalm 39:1-5 I have been meditating constantly on these verses lately. The reason for this is because I feel like there are things that I have wasted my life away with. I have been doing these things instead of encouraging others, praying, reading the Bible, and spending time with God. As I look back at some of the things I did, I am saddened. It's not that all these things are ungodly; it's just that t...
What does it mean to have pride? According to Google: Pride - a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired. In this definition, pride is a good thing. You take pride in your hard work. You take pride in your siblings, parents, children, spouse, and friends in their accomplishments. Overall, pride can be a good thing. But it can also become ugly. When exactly does pride become ugly? Pride is ugly when it is a selfish pride. Pride is ugly when you are proud of your own wisdom, and don't lean on the Lord for His wisdom. Pride is ugly when you are proud of your wrongdoings, your sins. Pride is ugly when you are too proud to change your ways. Pride is ugly when you don't humble yourself. Recently, there have been several people I know who have come out on Faceb...
