Lots of words seem to start with c: confidence, courage, comparison, complaints, communication… The list goes on and on. Confidence was not something I always struggled with, but it seems to be something I’m struggling with lately. It turns out that confidence – a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of own abilities orContinue reading “living CONFIDENTLY and COURAGEOUSLY”

Waiting for Healing
365 days ago, I injured my left foot and ankle. After many orthopedics, physical therapists, treatment plans, diagnosis, etc., I’m still not 100% healed. As I write this, I am at a loss for words, which is a rare occasion. I don’t know how to share this story because it isn’t finished yet. This isContinue reading “Waiting for Healing”
Anticipation
Anticipation is to look forward to something. Some of the things we anticipate are vacations, summer break, packages, events, etc. As the season of Lent comes to an end, we can anticipate the Resurrection of Jesus. I’ve recently realized how broken our world is. I mean, I knew things weren’t perfect, but as I’ve beenContinue reading “Anticipation”
Inspiration
I’m always amazed that God gives me the inspiration I need at the perfect times. The topic for my blog post this week was up in the air, but just a few minutes ago I saw something on the Soul Scripts Instagram account, and I thought that I could incorporate it into a blog post.Continue reading “Inspiration”
#internationalwomensday
In honor of International Women’s Day, I’m sharing a collection of quotes, mottos, Bible verses, and mantras from a few women who represent girl power at its finest. We all have people we look up to…friends and family members who inspire us to do great things…teachers, mentors, leaders, athletes, teammates, coaches, classmates, certain celebrities…and ofContinue reading “#internationalwomensday”
“mini”stry with a BIG Impact
I’d like to positively impact the world. There are days when I feel as though I can do anything. There are also days when I fall victim to serious self-doubt because I see our broken world, and I struggle to see how I can help heal. As of February 2018, this ministry is really just aContinue reading ““mini”stry with a BIG Impact”
Lent: The Struggle is Real
Sometimes on the blog I focus on faith, and since today is Ash Wednesday, if you needed any last-minute inspiration for Lenten sacrifices you plan on making, here’s a glance at what I’m doing. Lent is an opportunity for growth. Through Lenten sacrifices, I’m able to grow closer to God, strengthen my Christian faith, andContinue reading “Lent: The Struggle is Real”
Adopting an Attitude of Gratitude
The dictionary defines gratitude as the state of appreciating certain benefits we receive. Really? That definition seems a little hard for me to grasp. Rather than associate with “benefits we receive,” I think most of us think about gratitude as appreciating the positive in what we have. Good things may not always appear to beContinue reading “Adopting an Attitude of Gratitude”
VAL-YOU
We give value to everything. Cars, houses, and people are all worth something to someone. When we value someone or something, we give it worth because we believe that this person or thing is important and beneficial to us. We value our family and friends. We value technology. We value material items and new opportunities.Continue reading “VAL-YOU”
Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful
Images are superficial. How we look has a huge impact on our lives, but it doesn’t have to. There are more than 7.6 billion people currently inhabiting the earth. Only 5% of those people have the gene pool that makes a traditional model’s body. Whether or not you have society’s version of a beautiful bodyContinue reading “Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful”
