You might not be familiar with Megan Woods because she’s new to the Christian music industry, but her song “The Truth” has been playing on Christian radio stations recently. I don’t know much about her, but I know her song “The Truth” has some issues. Though most of the lyrics don’t bother me, the chorus makes me cringe—and honestly, it should make all Christians cringe.
Though you’ve tried to avert your gaze from the red flags, you can’t help but see them whenever you’re with your boyfriend. At first, you thought he would recognize his flaws and work on them. But nothing has changed in the past three months. The red flags you saw on your first date are the same red flags you see now. And you’re worried they’ll be part of his life forever.
We’re approaching a new year, which may seem like the perfect time to make some resolutions, right? Whether your goal is to eat more vegetables or read more books or spend more time praying, it likely stems from your desire to become a better person. Though that's a great desire, it’s easy to have unrealistically high expectations about how fast you can fulfill it. That's the problem with the “new year, new you” mantra—it's rooted in unrealistically high expectations.
I often struggle to come up with ideas for holiday posts. That’s why I told myself it would be okay to write a “simple” post for Christmas this year. With all the other Christmas content you’ve probably seen over the last few weeks, maybe a “simple” Christmas post is exactly what you need.
It’s been nine years since I started Tizzie’s Tidbits of Truth. It’s been almost three years since Real Recovery was published. It’s been over a year since I started seeking a publisher for my second (yet-to-be-published) book. And while I certainly haven’t learned everything about writing, I have learned this: It’s. A. Long. Haul.
I recently had a chat with my friend Brittany Braswell—a Registered Dietician and the host of Faith-Filled Food Freedom—about navigating recovery, especially while developing and maintaining relationships. 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 so appreciate Brittany, and I can't wait 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 right now—because I believe God's timing for my life is good. And I believe the same thing about His timing for yours, Single Girl.
For Easter last year, I wrote a post for TTT with several recommendations for songs about Jesus’ death and resurrection. But I realized I've never shared a post with song recommendations for Thanksgiving on TTT. So—without further ado—here are five song recommendations that'll hopefully help you get in the mood for Thanksgiving.
