About Me

Hello Friends!

I'm Liv, and I'm so glad you found my blog!

Well this is an about me page, so I guess I should tell you about me...

Like I said, I'm Liv, well technically it's Olivia, but my friends call me Libby. Anyway, I'm a college senior, pursuing a counseling/criminal justice degree, in hopes of working in ministry with foster kids one day, and I'm writing Trusting Grace as a way to pursue a passion of speaking life into people, and a way to let myself out in this crazy college journey.

A few things you should know

First-- I love Jesus, and that bleeds into the way I share my story and advice with you all. While I hope I can speak into all walks of life and belief systems, please know this is where I'm coming from first and foremost.

Second-- I am a college student. I know it says that above, but that may affect some things on Trusting Grace. For instance, finals week probably won't be the time I decide to write five blog posts back to back. So, if I disappear for a week or so on you guys, I'll try to let you know, but if I go MIA just assume I'm drowning in papers.

Third-- I care. My goal in life is to be the woman I needed during my middle school, high school, and college years, so please know this is a safe place for young women to learn, grow and be encouraged.

I think that's all...

Please, join me on my journey of finding the life God made for us, and trusting in the joy of His goodness

Love, 
Liv

Things I wish I would have known on my Freshman Move In Day

Freshman move in is perhaps one of the biggest life events you will have gone through thus far. It signifies you are no longer a child and can be (mostly) trusted to live (mostly) on your own. It's a big deal. Which means it's also a lot of stress. Now, I am a planner in any and every sense of the word so I read countless articles on move in days and watched waaay too many move in day videos on YouTube. I was ready. Except I wasn't. So here are 6 things I wish I would have known about my Freshman Move In Day 1. There are A Lot of People  I mean, I guess I should have figured that, but I wasn't prepared for just how many people would be moving in all at once in my building. I go to a pretty small private school so I wasn't prepared for how many people would be walking in and out at once to bring their stuff in. Please realize that the entirety of your freshman class is moving in pretty much all at once. Be prepared for crowded lobbies, lines for the stairs,...

It's okay if you aren't okay

I'm the oldest of seven in my house. That means I had a lot of responsibility very young, and I took it willingly. I've always been my siblings second mom, and my mom's right hand woman. I've always been "practically in charge" and knew more about our family's schedule than the planner. I've always been okay. But, there became a time when I wasn't okay. At all. And all I did about it was I hid the fact that I was very much not okay. To my stressed out heart it seemed easier to hide the problem than face the fact that the perfect child I so longed to be, the steady hand I'd worked so hard to become could fall around me. This did nothing to fix the problem, if anything, it made the problem worse. Ladies, you don't have to be perfect. You are not capable of being perfect. Don't expect a standard from yourself that isn't attainable. I guess what I'm saying is, it's okay if you aren't okay. It's taken me eig...

What I Want to Tell 16 Year Old Me About Boys

Hey lovelies! Today we're going to be doing something a little different. I've written a letter to boy crazy, over the top romantic, little naïve 16 year old me, and what better place to put it then the internet? In all seriousness though, I hope these words inspire, challenge, or encourage you as you walk and grow with yourself, others, and Christ. It's only been three years since I was sixteen, but I am a completely different person now and I am so thankful. Dear Libby, Sweet Girl, I say this with so much love but girl you need to calm the heck down. You are sixteen , my dear. I know you say you're in love, that he is the guy of your dreams, that it's only a matter of time. Sweetheart, he is not the one, I promise. I know you think he is, but he isn't. You aren't ready for love yet, Liv. We have so much growing to do before we are ready for someone other than our Heavenly Father to hold us. I know you think that boy loving you is the most importan...
