Last year really got my prayer life in gear. When I was at camp, I was a super mega cool Prayer Warrior. But, when I returned to life, I quickly remembered: we don’t talk about prayer. We don’t know what’s going on with each other, we don’t ask for updates. So, sometimes, even when I …
5 steps to beating burnout
Burnout is a real thing. Especially during the middle of the semester. I’m writing this post because I’m in the midst of a burnout right now. The last magazine really drained me (not in a bad way . . . but in a this-is-a-TON-of-work-and-I’ve-used-up-all-of-my-allotted-creativity-for-this-month kinda drain). Regarding burnout, Saturdays are especially bad for me because …
a snazzy beloved bundle contents reveal VIDEO!
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I’m so in love with Beloved Bundles. They’re super fun for me to create . . . like, seriously! My inner 6-year-old is absolutely loving this. As is the 19-year-old. I know some people are a *little* confused as to what exactly Beloved Bundles are. Maybe it would be less …
it doesn’t matter
I readjust my backpack strap. My coat is stuck in it, per the norm, and one strap is longer than the other. What a mess. In my mind, I fume over aspects of the previous class. Don’t get me wrong; I love Bible Doctrines class. But at some point, watching videos of men bickering over whether …
victory is here: your bookshelf needs this rn
Will the feeling of hitting the “publish” button ever get old? Will flipping through a delicious PDF version of the magazine ever stop making me grin like an idiot? I highly doubt it. It is my great honor to unveil the VICTORY issue of the magazine. Something I love about the magazine is that I …
how to finally finish reading the Old Testament
The Old Testament used to scare me. Like honestly and truly!! The KJV text seemed extra heavy with thee’s and thou’s. There were way too many things that didn’t seem to pertain to me and, I don’t know, studying the fruit of the spirit seemed to be a lot more straightforward. Also . . . …
victory issue releasing soon + cover model interview
My mind is full of gold sparkles and olive wreath crowns as I’m hurrying scurrying to get this issue put together. Of course, school has picked up the pace a few notches *just* as I started getting all the articles and artwork in but, hey: are you really living if you aren’t staying up until …
the face of God is stamped on you
Ever heard the verse render to Caesar what is Caesar’s? I bet you have. In this passage, Christ turned over a coin and asked whose face was on the coin. “Well . . . Caesar.” “Exactly. Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s.” But this verse doesn’t just have to do with taxes. And it doesn’t mean we …
seven *smashing* years: celebrating oh beloved one
On February 16, we’re celebrating seven years since I started Oh Beloved One! I’ve celebrated this day almost every year since OBO’s inception because OBO is such a huge part of my life. Funny story . . . if I had stuck with the original day I wanted to send out the first issue, our …

Well. Behold the reference: Get yours by clicking the image above …
