We all have regrets and dreams. I think they are both very similar. One is a thing we wanted and wish we’d fulfilled. The other is along the same path. There is still hope in fulfilling a dream, but you know if you don’t do it, you will be full of regret. On the other …
Live like Jesus: Pray in the morning
Thursday morning I woke up with my heart beating out of my chest. I checked the time and it was 2:48am. Suddenly, the memory of my nightmare flashed into my mind like a movie playing from beginning to end. In my dream, I’d woken up early to meet God at church. I was clothed in …
Jury Duty
This week I was on a Jury for a DWI case. Coincidentally, and as I mentioned in last week’s blog, I recently went to an addiction treatment center’s luncheon featuring guest speaker Brene Brown. When I was summoned for Jury Duty, I contemplated finding an excuse not to go and boy were my friends and …
What if things don’t go your way
This week I faced a setback. I applied to a writing program and I thought I got in, but turns out they didn’t have open positions for the track I was interested in (which I wish had been made clear before I applied but I digress). I must admit I was disappointed. I shut down …

Miracles Only Happen When You Believe
Not feeling God in your life? Feeling like He’s left your side? Losing faith in his existence? Or never even had faith in God in the first place? I’ve been there. As a devout follower of Jesus Christ, people often make assumptions about my faith. They have no idea how immensely I struggled to believe …
Why I Believe in God: He Answers My Prayers
I don’t think anyone can ever fully understand why I believe in God. It’s physically impossible for a single human being besides myself to understand, but in short, I believe in God because he answers my prayers. One day, in my senior year of high school I took a leap of faith and started praying …
Life update: Church retreat, Joy after heartbreak, Big, Small World
Hello people! Long time no see! I took a bit of a break from the blog last month and focused solely on spreading the gospel via social media. Last week was ‘Giving Glory to God’ month at my church. For the entire month of October we focus everyday on giving glory to God. This can …
First Love and The Power of Thoughts
Have you ever held on to something you know is bad for you but kept going back to it? I’m not sure why we human beings do that. I think it comes from mistrust and a deep hope that if you hold on to said bad thing it might become a good thing. These last …
