Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
As frustrating as sleeplessness may be, we can learn to be content in it for one reason alone: God is with us through it. Whether we're awake or asleep, He still loves us and desires our obedience. He is protecting us. He is holding us. He is shaping us. Even in sleeplessness. This poem is for the insomniacs, the tired, and the weary.
Well, summertime is quickly approaching. People are firing up their grills, planning family vacations, and shopping for summer apparel, including bikinis. And I thought that it'd be fun to write about bikinis, clothes, and convictions in general. Honestly, you probably won’t find me in a bikini this year. I’ve actually never worn one.
Yet again, I had to rush through my quiet time to get ready for class this morning. Yet again, I felt a twinge of guilt for cutting this time short. But yet again, I did nothing about it. In fact, I did it the next day and the day after that and the day after that. I couldn't understand why making my quiet time a priority was so difficult.
When I first saw the commercial for Frozen over two years ago, I was immediately turned off by it. I thought that it'd be a cheesy movie about a wintry land that was home to an annoying snowman.

With only a few weeks left until the end of the semester, I’m unable to contain my excitement. I’ve been awaiting the end for so long!

I hope you're having an amazing week, friends! Today, fellow blogger Anna Peters is guest posting for me. She writes about her struggles with giving into her sin nature and provides some tips for winning this struggle by trusting the Lord. I know you'll be uplifted by her guest post.
But your height and weight—and every other aspect about your body—were chosen by God. He didn't make a single mistake when He created you, and it's so important to accept His design. Yes, acceptance is easier said than done, but here are a few things that can help you with the process.
I could've written a post about the incredible power that Christ demonstrated through His resurrection or a post about the importance of focusing on victory this Sunday. But I want to focus on Good Friday for this post. I want to take a look at the seriousness and significant implications of this day. After all, Good Friday isn’t an abstract day that we simply hear about in Sunday school. It has incredible significance for us.
People can be cruel, and Satan is always cruel to us. But when we call upon God, when we lean upon Him, and when we trust in Him, He will rescue us from the deepest waters.
