Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
I recently had a chat Brittany Braswell—a Registered Dietician and the host of Faith-Filled Food Freedom—about navigating relationships during eating disorder recovery. Her name might sound familiar to you because I've been on her podcast in the past (plus I've interviewed her for TTT). I appreciate Brittany so much, and I'm so excited for you to check out our most recent conversation!
But even though I didn't meet my future husband at college, I don't regret not chasing guys while I was there. I know that singleness was the best thing for me then—and is the best thing for me now—because I believe God's timing for my life is perfect. And I believe the same thing about His timing for yours, Single Girl.
For Easter last year, I wrote a post with several recommendations for songs about Jesus' death and resurrection. But I realized I've never shared a post with song recommendations for Thanksgiving. So I decided to share a post with five recommendations for songs that will hopefully help you get in the mood for Thanksgiving.
White Bird: A Wonder Story is a movie I probably won’t see again, and there are a couple reasons for that. First, it felt super disconnected from Wonder—the movie it’s supposedly a sequel to. Plus, Wonder came out seven years ago and didn’t really need a sequel. But the second reason—the main reason—I didn’t like White Bird was its misleading message.
But the truth is that any time you spend reading Scripture and praying is not wasted time. If you seek Him, you’ll find Him (Deuteronomy 4:29, Jeremiah 29:13). Don’t let believers—whether they’re well-intentioned or ill-intentioned—discourage you from trying to go deeper with God. This post has a few ideas (not rules) that may help you in your pursuit.
Ed was never satisfied with my efforts though. He demanded more from me. He told me I still wasn’t skinny. He continued to control me because I let him. I should’ve broken up with him sooner than I did. But love is blind, right?
Once Upon a Time is a TV show that was popular several years ago but faded into obscurity. Even though people don’t talk about it much anymore, I decided to try to it—and I was hooked on it for a week or two. I watched episode after episode, making solid progress in the first season. I really wanted to like it, but I couldn’t overlook the immorality.
To be honest, it’s difficult to not covet my friends’ marriages. Even though I know coveting is a sin, I succumb to this temptation far too often. God’s Word is clear about not coveting what other people have, but how can we avoid it?
I’m a big fan of the High School Musical movies, which is probably why I like A Week Away so much. Yes, the plots, settings, and characters are different, but the vibes are the same. Though I wouldn’t call A Week Away a cinematic masterpiece, I definitely think it's worth watching, especially if you’re a fellow fan of the High School Musical movies.
