Following His Path To Something Beautiful
Today I am sharing a post I half wrote 6 months ago. It was when we were reading the book of Joshua. The book of Joshua is filled with different battles the Israelites faced as they approached the promised land. I will eventually get to why the armor of God is important when we go [...]
Hey all! Although I am no longer writing regularly for Candidly Christian, I got the opportunity to write a guest post for them this week! It is a reflection I wrote on a blog I had written for them 4 years ago. It was such a sweet time writing this, and I hope that it [...]
I kind of laugh at this story. Because I really didn't expect this to happen, or plan for this to happen. A few years ago, I wrote a blog titled "How To Break Down Your Barbie Dream House". I played with Barbie's growing up, and in college, me and two friends had Barbie nicknames. I [...]
Psalm 23. One of the most familiar psalms I have known my whole life. I still recall the melody of this psalm that we sang in Sunday School. It is a nice psalm, but in looking at it more, I am realizing more of its meaning. Specifically, in regards to a phase in Psalm 23:3, [...]

Have you ever felt weak? Maybe like a tree whose roots aren’t that deep, struggling to survive? And if a storm comes, you would be shaken and knocked down? Unable to be thrive through the wind and the rain? As we all know, roots are vital to the health of a tree. They provide nutrients [...]
What has Jesus done? Well, that is a loaded question, and a question that stopped me in my tracks the other day when I was reading about the last supper. I have been struggling with a double ear infection for about a month now, and trying to endure my way through it. It is frustrating [...]
When I think of the Kings daughter, I think of a princess. And of course I think of all the Disney movies, like The Little Mermaid. King Triton loved his daughter.
