Photo by Tara Winstead on Pexels.com Welcome back to Daughter of the Light. Today I’m sharing more of my (scattered) reflections on 1st John. As I mentioned last week, please remember to go to the Scripture yourself and check everything that I say against the verses. It’s so vital to see what the Bible says … Continue reading Reflections on First John (part two)

Reflections on 1st John (part one)
Photo by John-Mark Smith on Pexels.com I started memorizing 1st John last spring. Over the months that I worked on getting it down, and then the later months of retraining it, it was constantly in my mind, challenging me and often leaving me puzzled. I thought that I would share some reflections I’ve had over … Continue reading Reflections on 1st John (part one)
Books of 2024: God’s Work Among The Nations
Out of all the memoirs I read in 2024, I was the most encouraged by stories of men and women of other faiths who found the Truth and came to Jesus. So often they faced persecution, trials, and hardships that are unimaginable, yet their faith remained strong. These stories of faith have been such a … Continue reading Books of 2024: God’s Work Among The Nations

2024 Goals: Was I Successful? + 2025 Goals
Alas and alack, here we are at the end of the year, and so many of my goals are unfinished. I had such great plans for 2024 and somehow many of them failed. My word for 2024 was strong. I didn’t want to be blown about by the ideas of the world, or taken in … Continue reading 2024 Goals: Was I Successful? + 2025 Goals
My Favorite Books: 2022 vs 2024
Hello everyone! I thought it would be fun to look back at my old favorite (fiction) books (of 2022) and contrast them with my current favorites almost three years later. The First Then: The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Now: The Brothers’ Karamazov by Fydor Dostoevsky “The world says: "You have needs -- … Continue reading My Favorite Books: 2022 vs 2024
Why I Changed My Wardrobe: Ramblings on Modesty
Disclaimer: I've avoided talking about modesty because it has been made into a huge deal in conservative circles. It's a woman's job to not provoke men to lust and if they fall, it is her fault. Women are shamed if they aren't completely covered. Women are held responsible for many things that are the fault … Continue reading Why I Changed My Wardrobe: Ramblings on Modesty
What I Read In 2023: Faith
Happy Monday! Can you believe we’re halfway through April? This year is going crazy fast already! I’m back for another what-I-read post. Today I’ll be sharing all the faith books I read in 2023. Of course, a lot of books fit into this category, but these were specifically focused on God, the church, and how … Continue reading What I Read In 2023: Faith
How’d I Do? Reviewing 2023 Goals & Making New Resolutions
2022 was a good year. I was very productive and I did a lot of things that I was scared I'd never find the strength to do. 2023 was the oposite. I feel like I backslid in a lot of ways and gave into fear completely. It was a good year in a lot of … Continue reading How’d I Do? Reviewing 2023 Goals & Making New Resolutions
Live Not By Lies by Rod Dreher: Book Review
“And this is the thing about soft totalitarianism: It seduces those – even Christians – who have lost the capacity to love enduringly, for better or for worse. They think love, but they merely desire. They think they follow Jesus, but in fact, they merely admire him. Each of us thinks we wouldn’t be like … Continue reading Live Not By Lies by Rod Dreher: Book Review
The World Is Insane: Rantings on Culture
I’m angry. Maybe it’s just a mood. Chalk it up to my three week, never ending headache or the stress of being in temporary housing for a month and then unpacking everything. We went to Target the other day to grab some groceries. At the front of the store was a display flaunting rainbow shirts … Continue reading The World Is Insane: Rantings on Culture
Why I’m Growing Out My Pixie Cut
November 2021 I decided that I wanted a haircut. I was somewhat nervous about this choice because the last time I had done anything with my hair was when I was eleven. I got a really short bob with bangs. It was hideous, but at the time I thought the bangs were the best. Learn … Continue reading Why I’m Growing Out My Pixie Cut
Won’t Say Goodbye
Two years ago, my heart broke as I clutched the edge of my bed and silently begged God to wake me up from this nightmare. You had fled to the arms of your Savior. While I lay in darkness, shoulders shaking with silent sobs, you were beginning the first chapter of a life that you … Continue reading Won’t Say Goodbye
6 Books You’ll Always Find Me Reading
Heyo everyone! Since my last post focused on books, I thought I would give it a companion. Today I’ll be sharing the six categories of books that I read from. Most of the time, I have all six of these categories going at once. I’ve tried reading just one at a time, but I can’t. … Continue reading 6 Books You’ll Always Find Me Reading
1st Corinthians 13 Collab
Hey guys! A while back, Kaley and I decided to do a collab on our thoughts on 1st Corinthians 13. We, uh, forgot about it until recently, but we hope that you enjoy! You can read the chapter here. My thoughts are in bold and Kaley's aren't. 🙂 If you look at the context of … Continue reading 1st Corinthians 13 Collab
Every Life Matters
I believe full heartedly that life begins at the moment of conception. The moment a child is conceived, a human being has been added to the world. I don’t agree with people who say that it is simply a mass of cells until it reaches a certain point, and then it can be considered a … Continue reading Every Life Matters
Idols
We read about idols in the bible and we shake our heads and wonder how the people of Israel could serve false gods after they saw all that the True God did for them and how he worked in their lives and did miraculous deeds. We say, “If that had happened to US, we NEVER … Continue reading Idols
