Loving Others

A month or so ago, my mom and I were doing yard work at my brother’s house while he was at work. Okay, who am I kidding… I was playing with his Aussie puppy while she was doing work. While we were outside, two evangelistic men approached us and began talking to us about Jesus. …

That 90’s R&B Kind of Love

Last weekend I drove to my in-law’s house to celebrate a late father’s day. I was driving in my car alone, praying and listening to worship music. I felt that God put it on my heart for me to share something I have struggled with – weight and body image. It’s difficult to write but …

Relationships & Stuff

Tomorrow morning I’m leaving for a girl’s trip with my two besties from high school. I cannot wait to spend time catching up, jamming out to NSYNC, hiking the mountains, and being foodies! It’s crazy to think the three of us have been friends for about 17 years. I mean, I should be 17, ha. …

The Constant Battle: Part 2

In Part 1 (read here), we talked about how we all have sinful desires, Christians and non-Christians, but once you accept Christ as your Savior, you are no longer a slave to those desires. Today, I’m going to focus on the outcome of following your sinful nature. Last time we did Galatians 5:16-18, today we …

The Constant Battle: Part 1

This weekend my Bible study group is hosting our annual girl’s night sleepover with elementary and middle school-aged girls. I decided to write about our scripture we will focus on this weekend, Galatians 5:16-26. These verses are not just applicable to young girls; they are pertinent to each and every one of your lives. I’m …
