This is a guest post by Kelly of Kelly Cox at Home Memorizing scripture is important in our home! Psalm 119:11 says “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” That verse alone inspires me to try and memorize the Word! We have tried different memory verse methods in the past and some have worked better than others. One thing I know is that my response to situations in life is much more… Read more »

Hey everybody!! I just wanted to announce that I will be away from Internet until the first week of August…. …Because I’m going to be studying abroad in July!!! *Squeals!* I’m going to a Latin American country with a group from my college. I will be taking two Spanish courses in the mornings, and in the afternoons we’re going to go on field trips around the country. We’re also staying with host families.

It’s my first official day of college. I sit at my desk in my dorm room working on a Spanish assignment. Distractedly, I fiddle with my pencil. The college group at the First Baptist Church had passed out fliers for a back-to-school part, and they were going to watch The Lion King and eat ice cream. I really want to go. I love The Lion King. Besides, it’s my first day of college. I should go do something fun. I… Read more »
Several years ago, one of my dearest friends and I were planning to host our youth group’s first Operation Christmas Child packing party. We were excited for the big day to come so we announced the party in youth group and in the church builtin. As the day of the party grew closer and closer, we were worried. What if nobody showed up? The party couldn’t be a success without a bunch of people coming and packing shoe boxes. I… Read more »

I love rollerskating now. Which surprises me, because when I was eight or so I thought I would abhor rollerskating forever. You see, I had a very traumatic rollerskating experience when I was eight. The local homeschool group rented the skating rink, and so my family went. I didn’t know how to skate well, so I stayed near the wall. Eventually, the DJ called for a couples skate, and my mom and I started skating around the rink holding hands…. Read more »
Contently single. Isn’t that some sort of oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp or a deafening silence? The two concepts just can’t fit together…. one can’t possibly be content and single. It seems to me that every girl taught from a very young age that happily ever after only happens when the princess and the prince find each other, have true love’s kiss, and get married. After all, doesn’t every girl dream of her handsome prince from the time she can tie her shoes?… Read more »
