As Christians, it’s easy to fall into the trap that says we have to be perfect. It’s easy to believe that if we’re broken, God must be disappointed in us. When things like mental illness, pain, questions, etc. come up, it is easy to want to hide them because we think that GOOD Christians shouldn’t … Continue reading The Good Christian: lies that Christians believe

Lighting Up That Writers Nook Tag
HEY GUYS! It is a coolish, fall day and I just finished watching my brother make a tower out of playing cards. *grins* Now I hear my little sister wailing about her leg hurting (she was accidently hit in the leg by a brother who was trying to slide down a porch railing while holding … Continue reading Lighting Up That Writers Nook Tag
A Day In My Life 2.0 (+ surprising announcement)
Hey guys! I did one of these day-in-the-life things back in March, but my life has changed quite a bit since then. I was planning to write up a whole post announcing this, but it fits in here fine, so yeah. XD We are planning another move. Within the next few weeks actually. *grins awkwardly … Continue reading A Day In My Life 2.0 (+ surprising announcement)
Stuffed Cookies/Writing Update/Awards
Hey guys! Today I'm sitting down here to write a random post and to do some awards that I've been putting off. XD I love doing them, but somehow I just leave them to pile up. *laughs* I made nutella stuffed cookies earlier today. I discovered my deep love for making/eating/sharing stuffed cookies. The first … Continue reading Stuffed Cookies/Writing Update/Awards
Home (Part 2 of 2)
Kara squirmed. The pew was hard and rigid, but that wasn’t the main reason that she was uncomfortable. She glanced nervously around the sanctuary and tugged at the top of her shirt. It wasn’t that she disliked church. It was just the awkwardness that she didn’t enjoy. She had spent way too many Sunday afternoons … Continue reading Home (Part 2 of 2)
Home (Part 1 of 2)
The smell of bacon hung heavy in the air. Kara breathed in deeply and a smile spread over her acne-ridden face. She slid into her chair, ignoring the chocolate handprints and the unidentifiable smears that covered the wooden seat. Kara grabbed a piece of homemade sourdough bread and layered it with juicy slices of tomato, … Continue reading Home (Part 1 of 2)
The Menacing Blank Screen
I’ve started this blog post like five times. I keep erasing it because it isn’t going anywhere and I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT! (*coughs* Guess I’m not a terribly successful blogger.....XD) I have a bunch of half-finished posts, but they all require a lot of work, and I don’t have time right … Continue reading The Menacing Blank Screen
Random Life Update: May
MAY IS THE MONTH OF SPRING. And rain. Lots of rain. XD I go back and forth with my love for rain. Sometimes I want it to be cloudy/wet all the time. Other moments in my life, I just want to see the blue sky high above me. XD I’m really tired at this moment. … Continue reading Random Life Update: May
Canaan’s Big Adventure
I wrote this as an offshoot of another story that I've been working on for a while about this girl that gets into a different world. *coughs* This is about her little brother. XD Life is full of dangers. What most people would laugh at, overlook or kick aside, Canaan Johnson took great measures to … Continue reading Canaan’s Big Adventure
Musings of a Failed Writer
I love writing and creating stories. Ever since I was five or six, I’ve enjoyed it. My stories used to be about chickens, saving abandoned babies, and camping. When I was eleven (after being inspired by Narnia), I created my own world named Mendolop. The heroes (me and my siblings) fought angry red dragons and … Continue reading Musings of a Failed Writer
Characters in Quarentine
I’ve seen a couple other writers/bloggers do posts about how their characters would react if they were quarantined. Me, being the not-big-on-conformity person that I am, decided to follow suit and do the same. *laughs* So, how would four of my characters act if they were stuck at home for a month? Let’s see, shall … Continue reading Characters in Quarentine
Random Life Update: April
Wow, another month nearly over! It really is crazy how time flies. April flew by with a flurry of rain, research, boredom, tea, reading, lots of stevia-coated-ice and gum. 😉 I’m really not sure what to write here. I’ve started this post like four times and just keep on deleting my attempts ‘cause they aren’t … Continue reading Random Life Update: April
AOAWFF: A Wild Month (3 of 3)
That night, after Nate and Bernie were snoring loudly, the Wild children crept towards the door of the house. Mark winced as each step cause the floorboard to creak and groan. He was relieved when they stepped out into the warm night air. Emily took a deep breath. They were finally going home. They still … Continue reading AOAWFF: A Wild Month (3 of 3)
AOAWFF: A Wild Month (2 of 3)
“Uncle, you said that your favorite meal was BBQ chicken, so I made you some! I mean, the sauce kind of ran out before they were all covered, so I used mustard instead....” Bernie took a bite of one. “They’re still raw!” “I didn’t want to burn them!” “Hey, Nate, let me carry that milk … Continue reading AOAWFF: A Wild Month (2 of 3)
