‘Good’ Friday // A Post From the Archives

Regardless of whether you celebrate this day as “good Friday” or not, it’s a good time to slow down and think about Christ’s story… and the characters within. ❤

I Love Spring Book Tag

Today I’m doing the I Love Spring Book Tag, which was apparently created by Amanda & Helene (no idea who they are, just crediting them according to their due). 1) How is Spring where you live? For most of my life, Spring was late. Snow started melting in April, and we just had rain andContinue reading "I Love Spring Book Tag"

The Indie Writers’ Blogcast Chapter 2: What Is Christian Fiction?

Hey everyone! We are super late with the February Chapter of the IWB, because Ry’s blog is currently down. Unfortunately it’s still down—hence why we are posting the full chapter on my blog right now and will transfer her portion to her blog when it’s up and running again. Thanks for your understanding!

To the Girl Who Never Says Anything

This post was written in April 2023 and remained in my drafts. Ironically, I never shared it because I was afraid. But I still think it’s important. It’s something I struggle with a lot and need to be reminded of… I know you hate bothering people. Being a problem. A burden. I know you hateContinue reading "To the Girl Who Never Says Anything"

My Favourite Characters of the Year for 2023

I did this tag last year, and as I mentioned then, I have no idea where I got it from. Please let me know if you know the source! All right, let’s dive in. This will be hard, because 2023 is two months and a bazillion books ago, but whatev. My Favorite Male Characters IfContinue reading "My Favourite Characters of the Year for 2023"

December 2023-January 2024 Wrap-Up

Er, yeah. I kinda messed up these first wrap-ups. But it’s okay, there was too much in January for December wrap-ups. 😆 || Highlights & Lowlights  // I went through a season of absolutely LOVING Threads and stalking it all the time. There was a ton of drama for a while, which oddly enough IContinue reading "December 2023-January 2024 Wrap-Up"

Valentine’s Day Gifts

First off, fellow singles… if today’s hard on ya, feel free to drop me a comment asking for prayer (they won’t be posted) 💗 and married sisters, don’t feel guilty! That’s where God’s got you and this is where He’s got us. We’re so happy for you (or should be 😆).  Okay, now for 🎁Continue reading "Valentine’s Day Gifts"

Share the Love Tag

So, February is the month of love, right?? Ok, so I’m being cliché, but still 😆 I got this tag from Jenna Terese once upon a time and have been saving it for years a while, so let’s get started! But first, the rules… And now for the questions! But first, disclaimer. A) Imma thinkContinue reading "Share the Love Tag"

God Help Me

I was praying. I don’t remember what. Maybe a bless-my-devotions-and-help-me-focus prayer. Or a help-me-get-my-life-together prayer. Whatever it was, as I thought the words—perhaps with a bit of dutifulness prompting them?—something occurred to me dimly at the back of my mind… …was this a God, help me prayer or a God help me prayer? That littleContinue reading "God Help Me"
