And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul. -It Is Well With My Soul, by Horatio Spafford About a month ago, my church met in person for the first time in 22 weeks. Even though I couldn’t give my friends hugs and had to wear a mask and sanitize the whole time,… Read more »
One of the saddest parts about this pandemic for me has been not getting to go to church each Sunday. Having to stay home and go to online church has been weird to say the least. I joined my church a little over a year ago and I have loved becoming a part of its community. My small group is just that- a small group. There are three of us there on average each week. Sometimes it’s just me and… Read more »
A few weeks ago one of my friends and I were playing the game Villainous. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have picked up that I LOVE this game. In my opinion, it’s the best Disney themed game out there. My friend had two of the expansion packs, so I was excited to play as new characters. Of course, I picked Mother Gothel from Tangled because that movie is one of my all-time favorites! Did you know that the… Read more »
Do you ever have one of those mornings? You know- the ones that make you want to scream and then go back to sleep so you can restart the day? This past Monday was one of those mornings for me. I traveled out of town during the weekend to visit a friend. We had lots of fun, but when I got back into town on Sunday afternoon, I was exhausted! And this exhaustion carried over into Monday morning. Plus, I think I was ready… Read more »
The Following Is A Guest Post By My Friend, Bonnie Confession: I absolutely love watching the shows The Bachelorette and The Bachelor! If there’s one show I will make time for, it’s those. At my house, we have Bachelor Mondays and in the summers I’m home, they’re my favorite! My mom, sister, and friends will gather around the TV to watch week by week who gets to go on dates, who is chosen and who is rejected. We make our… Read more »
It was the last day of our England mission trip. We traveled to London to have one day of sight-seeing before our trip back to Texas. And our day in London was lots of fun! We got lost trying to find Buckingham Palace, saw Big Ben, and explored the Westminster Abbey. That night, five girls and I wanted to see Wicked on the West End (England’s equivalent to Broadway). We ate dinner with a group of people who were going… Read more »
The following is a guest post by my friend, Bonnie For the past two summers and over my last Christmas break, I worked as a hostess at a steak restaurant close to where I live. I loved my job as a hostess: the community I had with my coworkers always filled me with so much joy, I never had to lift any heavy trays and I got to spend my shifts welcoming people in and talking to them. It was… Read more »
Do you ever find that when you attend a wedding, you get a bucket-load of ideas for your own far-off wedding? Me too. For instance, when of my cousins got married when I was 16, Aunt Nita (not my cousin’s mom, a different aunt) asked me if I had thought about my future wedding at all. Flustered, I couldn’t say that I had. What sort of info was she looking for here?? As if she had read my thoughts, Aunt… Read more »
Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. -Corrie ten Boom I’m graduating from University in eight months. Eight. The thought of this makes me want to laugh and cry all at the same time. My time in college has flown by, and it kinda makes me sad. The thing is though, people keep asking me what I’m going to do after I graduate. And people have asked me this question throughout my college-career, but I… Read more »
The other day, my best friend and I visited a jewelry shop in the mall because she wanted to show me the engagement ring her boyfriend and she had picked out when he was in town last week. We scurried to the counter like excited children on Christmas morning, and she grinned as she pointed it out. “That one!” I ooh-ed and ahh-ed at the ring. It was gorgeous. :) As I was driving home, I thought about how weird… Read more »
