Dear Disney, Dreams Don’t Always Come True

All I know is that life is perfect in Disney…but it isn’t in reality. In movies and TV shows, life is exciting and full of adventure. It includes trips to Paris and falling in love and getting paid to write poetry. So little boys and girls, like myself, create expectations that lead to disappointment and failure.

Grieving the Goodbyes

Thankfully, I haven’t had to endure many goodbyes.

But now my home is taking a temporary trip to a distant land called “college.”

From Calm to Crazy

Fear doesn’t have to control you. Don’t let fears and worries rule your heart because you’ll be a miserable wreck. Let Christ’s love compel you to be brave (2 Corinthians 5:14).
