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 …
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor.No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.—Psalm 84:11 At first glance, this verse is one of those that we should all make our life verse. Because who doesn’t want a good thing?! According to me, a good thing is never-ending snickerdoodle hot chocolates from starbucks free sassy t-shirts all the pressed flowers …
We serve a God of amazing, total power. I was reading the story of when Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace. In case you didn’t know, spoiler alert: they end up surviving. Nebuchadnezzar freaks out because he sees fourmen instead of the three he sent in there. When he retrieves them, not only …
For me, anticipation of excitement is always better than the actual excitement. That’s why I love all of December way more than Christmas Day. That’s why on Christmas Eve, I’m already feeling a little sad: because I just can’t let go of the fact that all this joy is about to “go away.” This year …
A few months ago, I heard a super inspirational story in our chapel time at my school. It stuck in my head, and I really wanted to implement the story in my own life. The story was about how a girl sent a personalized Bible to her friend, and her friend gave it to someone else. That …
Good morning, little nuggets! I bring to you today an amazing guest post from my friend Victoria. She emailed me a few weeks ago with a very deep question which I’ll be turning into a blog post (yay!!!!) in the near future. in the mean time, she asked if I would post this on the blog for …
Okay, let’s admit it: we crack jokes about books like Ezra, Hosea, Haggai, and Chronicles because . . . they’re just kinda weird and dull. (don’t tell me I’m the only one!) Right now, I’m in 2 Chronicles . . . and I’m actually learning so much!! The other day I was reading through 2 Chronicles 20. As I’ve been …
I think that forgiveness is one of the most monstrous problems in the lives of Christians, but also the most overlooked. It’s just so easy to justify a refusal of forgiveness. I mean, come on. They literally HATE my family. NOT COOL! She’s just nice to me when she needs something from me. They broke my heart. He …
We all have bad days. Sometimes they’re really bad days. It’s only the fifth week of school and already I’ve had a few meltdowns (you too?? glad to know i’m not alone). But during these moments of sheer panic and stress, God reminded me of His existence. He didn’t have to in such obvious ways, but He did anyway. …
