For some, this holiday can be super dreadful, super-exciting, or just indifferent. I used to dread it for years, then gradually, I became indifferent up until last year. Last year, I decided to celebrate my singleness and God's love for me. I decided to treat myself for lunch, bring my Bible...
I'll admit, social media can be a curse lol. It can suck the time right out of your life while you slowly age and let life pass you by.
For accountability purposes, I'll try and limit my time to how often I browse social media.
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram: check only once at the end...
These are all a copy-paste blurb from a blog.
"While the concept of goal-setting isn’t new, most of us forget how crucial the process is to actually accomplishing them.
“At the start of each year I write my goals down on note paper, big and small. The key is to check in with your list 1x per...
Yes, you heard that right.
I'm totally going to go with this list which I am specifically going to ask some people which revolves around my budget lol.
Okay, so first question:
1. Tea or Coffee?
2. What is your favorite book?
3. what are your 3 top books you wish you could read?
4. Favorite...
This blog entry will help me to remember the different things I've eaten so that I don't have to think so hard on what to prepare.
What I eat in a day, excluding water:
Day 4 of my paleo lifestyle (Dec 11, 2016)
Breakfast: 2 fried eggs in olive oil, a mixed berry (strawberry, kiwi, and banana)...
I'm going to have withdrawal symptoms but hey, that's totally fine. It's expected. I am going to survive. I don't need to refresh my facebook, instagram, Youtube, Twitter page constantly:
Dear Houston me,
I have a problem. I think it's time to live in reality. Let's face it. Your entire day is...
Ever since I sincerely trusted in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior...I have had a target on my back and feel like I've been thrusted into spiritual warfare that I had no clue existed prior. It's like the enemy is trying to ruin whatever faith I have in God and to bring me back down to feeling...
I have been single for about.. my entire 27-year old life. Most of my friends are married and have children. And I'm actually happy for them. I think being married is a beautiful thing and I appreciate the hard work that spouses go through for each other and their families. That in itself is...
Note to self: 22 Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.-NLT
Whenever you feel tempted ..please give these videos a listen. FIGHT back the...
So I've been reading manga.. shoujo romance ones.. which is pretty much, for me, a form of torture :doh1:. Why? Because #1, I'm celibate and #2, romance mangas tend to bring out a mix of emotions in me..to perhaps.. be open to the possibility of the prospect of being in a serious relationship...
this body back into shape. I'm sick and tired of looking at myself in the mirror and realizing I have let go in this area called 'weight'. In fact, I don't even have to look at the mirror.. it isn't so much as appearance, it's more like I get tired very easily for such a simple task. To anyone...
Inspired by NF [Christian rapper].
Holy Father.. please forgive me..
I know I'm not perfect. I'm probably the worst of the worst. Of course, I'm my own biggest critic. But that's just how I feel. I know I can be a hypocrite. I know I can be lazy. I'm terribly lazy.. I procrastinate a lot...
Dear me:
Look, I know you're tired.. you've been fighting for so long now.. this life with Christ isn't easy. In fact, as soon as you've accepted Him into your life, you now have a target on your back that the enemy has marked out. Because let's face it.. we are a threat to him. The enemy...
You thought you could control me..you thought that you could take precious moments away from my family and have me completely tied down to you. You thought that you had me in this vicious cycle of control. But there's one thing you didn't calculate into your plan. Greater is He who is in me than...
Will be editing this continually as I see quotes that I really like and want to save.
"Reading the Gospel isn't enough. You have to embrace it. You have to first believe it, but that's not even enough. Because the Bible is based on others' stories and experiences, we need to have faith to...
Please note that the following is only copied and pasted from the original writer named Heather Lindsey. This isn't me lol
"#tbt to this wimpy girl in 2005. Who used to be led by her emotions. Used to crumble in the midst of adversity. Who used to run from tests. Who used to keep a man in her...
We can be prone to this. I can personally attest to that. Sometimes, I catch myself bullying myself.. in my mind. I can agree to the enemy's lies and say to myself "yeah, you are worthless, yeah there's no hope for you.." or I can stand on the Rock of truth and Life and fight back. That's where...
Dear me,
This is a reminder...of something that has been laid in your heart today and from last night.
You need to draw closer to God. In the morning when you wake up, spend time with Him in His Word, in prayer..and in singing. He wants you to ♥.
Here's the thing. God wants you to obey Him...
I was so ashamed at myself today.. of how I acted. I was complaining and grumbling because I had to help my brother in applying to universities. I had such a bad attitude..and I could have smacked myself for the way I've acted. I don't want my heart to become calloused because of what I may hear...
Let me explain what happened to me and why I'm pleading for you to reconsider whatever you've been planning/thinking.
And yes, I'm talking about that type of giving up. Suicide. It's not a pretty picture no matter how you look at it.
I've heard of people who took their own lives..and believe...
