Sometimes I see survival in the world, but even more so in a Christian setting, as being dependent on shutting your brain off and finding a happy medium.
But guess what? As much as I want to frustratedly resign myself to this, I know that I cannot.
Because God did not create me to turn off my brain.
He did not create me to resign myself to believing things that may turn out to not be true.
I...

Confession:
I absolutely love the song Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield.
Seriously. Love it. It makes me so happy. I could have a sing-into-my-hairbrush party to this song for hours on end.

Can I just be that girl for a minute and just say that I have the most caring, loving, kind, compassionate and wonderful boyfriend in the world?
I know it is so cliche to talk annoyingly about your relationship when you are really happy with it, but I can’t help myself.
Honestly, no one besides my family knows me better than him. He can tell just looking at me that something is wrong. He...

I'm currently making a timeline of the entire Old...
for a class of mine, and it’s about 3 length-wise pages long.
I just realized when I was adding non-Biblical events onto it, that Buddha’s birth wasn’t put on my timeline until the end of the third page, or about 1500 years after Abraham.
Mohammed isn’t even on my timeline because Islam didn’t even arise until around 600 A.D.
I don’t mean to sound...
Summery nights like this make me feel like...
because these moments just seem like they will one day be the sweetest memories…

“Every woman in her heart of hearts longs for three things: to be romanced, to...”
– from Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge
God answered every cry of my heart and every block in our relationship from the past few months/years in the span of 20 minutes tonight.
I can’t even express all of it.
I’m not afraid.
I am not forgotten.
I am not broken.
I am not hanging on the coattails of others’ relationships with God.
I am full.
I am strong.
I am loved.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

I have really good friends.
I feel really happy when I don’t open up about the things that bother or annoy me, because if I let those things start coming out of my mouth then I become bitter and I don’t like that.
I’m starting to think I am missing something in just asking for God to move in my life or others’ instead of simply seeking to be closer to Him. Sometimes I...

I’ve been having such a productive, happy day today.
The work is by no means done yet, but gosh does it feel good to be accomplishing things and feeling capable to keep accomplishing things.
Thank you Jesus and Diet Dr. Pepper.
I love you both a lot.

I feel so tired right now.
I get frustrated with myself when I can’t be like the perfect Honors students that I am surrounded with in my Honors classes.
I wish I could sit down and write a paper in an hour like I see people doing,
but my brain just cannot process that quickly.
I genuinely can’t focus like they can or be like them as hard as I try.
I get my work done and I always...
