Because God

It’s raining and the wifi is bad but I’m super behind on school because I’m not feeling well and haven’t all week plus I’m dealing with a lot of emotions from a big thing that recently upset my life plus My friends are struggling plus I hate my current college course plus I’m having a

Fear & Truth

The other day I put down my phone after scrolling through social media. I was feeling weary and anxious after seeing dozens of posts warning about how terrible the world was getting. All of a sudden a thought rushed into my head. Why is the fearmongering that washes over my social media feed and even

It’s Darkest Just Before Dawn // 7 Days Of Hope Blog Tour

Once I stood in the nightWith my head bowed lowIn the darknessAs black as could be;And my heart felt alone,And I cried, “O LordDon’t hide Your face from me.Hold my hand all the way,Every hour, every day,From here to the great unknown;Take my hand,Let me standWhere no one stands alone!”Like a king I may liveIn

Meet my WIP Series!! // #MyJay

Just the Next Step: My Favourite Bible Story // A Guest Post

I used to be one of those people who didn’t have a favourite Bible story. Simply out of principle. If someone asked me which was my favourite, I would give a vague reply. “There’s too many to choose,” I’d say, or “They’re all so good.” And… that’s true. There are a lot, and they are

Ships, & Shoes, & Sealing-Wax, & Cabbages, & Kings—oh my!

Which is another way of saying I have a random bunch of exciting stuff to tell you. I’m always quoting that line from Lewis Carroll whenever anyone talks of random stuff. XD My mother says she feels sad for people who don’t have someone like me. My siblings, I’m sure, would tell you to count

Aunt Jimsy’s Philosophy

If you know me at all, you know I love to throw out a book quote that just fits the situation I’m in. My family has heard me quote A.A. Milne and Dr. Seuss way more than they’d like, I’m sure. And no matter what we’re discussing, the chances are I’ll throw in a quote
