"Trust in the Lord with all your heart" Proverbs 3:5
With school starting and summer coming to a close, the season of relaxation is also coming to its end.

With birthdays, it doesn't always feel like anything is different once your special day has come and gone. You feel like pretty much the same person from the eve-of to the day-after. Yet when you look back at where you were on your last birthday, you may be surprised to see a world of difference. [...]

I even remember having a Twitter "before it was cool" and being so annoyed with everyone from Facebook making Twitter accounts and "ruining it." Twelve-year-old [...]

Sometimes we feel like the gray slush on the sides of the road after a snow storm. Our insides sink to the pit of our stomach and waves of hurt throb through our chest. We feel, well, gray, trampled on, and pushed aside. Like slush. We’ve all been there; we’ve all felt that pain. Whether [...]
When I was growing up, I thought that macarons were the weirdest looking dessert ever. I had only seen pictures, and assumed they would be gross. I remember someone telling me they were made with almond flour, so I immediately wondered who on Earth would want to eat a nut cookie. I assumed they'd have [...]
This weekend has been full with the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. There has been a peace and happiness that has settled over my heart like no other, even in the midst of trials and heartache. This spiritual weekend began on Friday with my Delight meeting. I felt an energy in myself [...]
