I wrote the following words from the perspective of our Heavenly Father. Of course, I'm not trying to put words in His mouth or add to the Bible. These words are just my ideas of what He might tell you if you're feeling...

COVID-19 Card Challenge
Hi, friends! I realize that today is Sunday (and that I never post on Sundays). But this post is a little different from what I usually post. This post is a challenge for all of us—including myself!
God Loves You (Even When You Don’t Make Sense)
After recognizing my overdependence on this friend, I then realized something scary. I had also developed an overdependence on my crush, too. He wasn’t even my boyfriend. In fact, he had only spoken to me one time.
It’s Not Impossible to Pursue God
Sure, I do my quiet time. I actually do sit down with my Bible, journal, and colored pens. But I rush through my devotions. I don’t set my alarm early enough. I hurry off to class without even praying. I suppose it's not surprising that God seems so far away.

I laid in bed on Christmas Eve as I wondered if I heard Santa’s sleigh on our roof.

3 Life Lessons I Learned This Summer
To be honest, this summer wasn’t easy for me. It was a rollercoaster of anxiety, happiness, fear, discouragement, excitement, frustration, eagerness, and doubt. But I’m still here. I survived the summer of 2018. And I learned a few life-changing lessons along the way.
1 Thing to Remember During Seasons of Spiritual Dryness
Do you ever feel like you’re living a blah spiritual life? I definitely do. I’ve been a Christian since I was a little girl, so I’ve learned how I should act and what I should do as a Christian. But sometimes I get tired of doing the "right" thing.
