Without my family, I would not be what I am. Without my family, I would not have had so many of the amazing memories I have had. Without my family, I would still be in some of the rough situations that I was in. Without my family, I would have an empty place in my… Read More 21 Days of Thankfulness— Day #20: Family
Friends are loyal. Friends are always there for you. Friends believe in you. Friends are not afraid to correct you when you’re going the wrong way. Friends are kind. Friends help you get over rough times. Friends can be trusted with secrets. My friends are so awesome. Thank you God! 🙂
Going to Church is sometimes not easy. Your non-christian friends are going to some amusement park. The new season in your favorite Netflix show just released. You’re tired. Church can wait, right? But going to church is so worth it. In Church, you’re (hopefully) surrounded by God loving people. It’s a time to focus on… Read More 21 Days of Thankfulness— Day #18: Church
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we had an intimate way of communicating with God and learning about him? What if we could read his words, his thoughts, his message to us? Well, actually we can 😀 The Bible does all that, and more. We can know so much about him in the pages. We can… Read More 21 Days of Thankfulness— Day #17: The Bible
Two worlds. First one. Gray. Dull. Boring. Flowers are gray. Birds are black. People are dull and lifeless. Rainbows are just hazy lines of mist in the distance. The other world? Red. Cardinals. Roses. Flickering fires. Bubbling lava. Luscious strawberries. Orange. Autumn trees, leaves flickering and dancing. Sunsets, reflecting off glimmering oceans. Yellow. Sunflowers. Baby… Read More 21 Days of Thankfulness— Day #16: Color
Over the years, my family and I have had the privilege to travel to various places. To rolling mountains and thick forests, near sand dunes and lakes, we have traveled so much. Traveling is really fun. I like to curl up in a blanket and read all day at home. I sometimes need to be hauled… Read More 21 Days of Thankfulness— Day #15: Traveling
YWW, short for “The Younger Writer’s Workshop”, is a place where young, aspiring writers can hone their craft, learn about writing, and talk with other writers. I joined here about two years ago (I think!), and it’s been a huge blessing to my life. Ever since the age of seven (or eight?) I’ve wanted to… Read More 21 Days of Thankfulness— Day #14: YWW
I love to read. To be able to learn things from wise authors. To visit fantastical worlds through pages in a book. To enjoy ramblings on people’s blogs. If we couldn’t read, there would be so many problems. You could not get around in this society. You could not read books, or signs, or instructions,… Read More 21 Days of Thankfulness— Day #13: The Ability To Read
I would never be able to live in a world without the internet. (To those who did live in that time of history, I applaud you.) It makes so many things easier. It’s fast. Convenient. Although there are many ways that the internet can be harmful, I think the internet is one of the greatest… Read More 21 Days of Thankfulness— Day #12: The Internet
You know the song, “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands”? Well, it’s true. “He”, referring to God, really takes good care of this world in an intimate, incredible way. The earth is much more amazing than meets the eye. How is that even possible? Here’s how (if you didn’t already know). The world… Read More 21 Days of Thankfulness— Day #11: Earth
