Trusting Grace

Don't tell me you didn't see this coming... What's a Christian girl blog if it doesn't talk you through the ends and outs of the male species? Well I'm not going to do that, because I don't like to talk about things that I don't have experience in. The truth is: I'm very very single. And I'm also very very okay with that. Ladies, this is not going to be another thing for you to read telling why being single is okay or that there's nothing wrong with you if you don't have a guy. While those things are very true, let's talk about something a little more practical. What happens when you're the last one? Okay, story time. When I was fourteen I met the two girls I still call my best friends, and I was the oldest of the three. K was six months behind me, and S was just over a year. When I was fourteen we fantasized about our lives when we were older which inevitably surrounded the topic of boys. We had figured it out. I'd be...

Hi Lovelies, I've been dwelling on this topic for a long while, and I decided it's time to be thought out loud (or on the internet I guess...) As Christians, we're taught to be selfless, to live as Jesus did, to put others before ourselves. I agree with all of this, and I try to live selflessly. But I think we've taken this idea to an extreme. These past couple of weeks have been rough on most people I've come into contact with, and last weekend I went home wanting to cry for seemingly no reason and while talking with my friend on the drive back, I figured it out. My soul was tired. The past few weeks had been spent trying to patch everyone else up, worrying about everyone else's problems and just generally stressing out. I hadn't had any time to myself other than to sleep in weeks and even then I was riddled with other peoples problems. And I loved it. I am a counselor by nature, and I absolutely love it when people lay stuff on me, but the pa...

Hey Ladies! So I'm going to speak straight from my heart today, with little filter and even less time crafting a well thought out message. This is the nitty gritty real stuff that I was talking about, and I can't promise it's going to be pretty. The past couple weeks have been a little rough on ya girl, if we're being honest. I'm not sure whether its a change in temperature, exams fast approaching, or what, but I and seemingly everyone else on campus has gotten a bad case of 'everything is crashing down around me'itis. And because of that, I and seemingly everyone else on campus has gotten a little grumpy, a little sad, and a little stressed out. This is the message I needed to hear this week. Dear my love, I know you are going through a hard time, I can see you trying to keep it all together and follow my will, I can see you struggling. Little one, please know I am not angry with you, please know that these struggles are not a punishment for wron...

Sorry Ladies! I missed the post today due to a crazy amount of homework plaguing the freshman this week. Monday will resume our regularly scheduled programming.
