to the one who doesn’t think God can forgive them

I woke up yesterday with you on my heart. I know how you're feeling. You think you can never overcome whatever it is that holds you captive. You're so weighed down by your past mistakes that it seems impossible to move forward. You're overwhelmed by the feeling that you'll never be able to do enough…

Twenty Songs for Christmas

Christmas has always been my favourite time of the year. It's spent with family, celebrating our Saviour's birth. It is so beautiful and special. I wanted to share a list of some of my all time favourite Christmas songs. This list is largely inspired by my Dad (love you, Dad!) and is like the "soundtrack…

uprooted

A few months ago, I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Inside that bouquet was the cutest little succulent. When the rest of the bouquet died, my mom took the succulent out and planted it in the tiniest terracotta pot, because she thought it might take root. For many weeks it sat on our kitchen…

kids + Jesus

Last week was one of my favourite weeks of the summer: Kids Camp! It was my fourth year counselling and my first year as a SENIOR counsellor so it brought a whole new level of responsibility and excitement to the week. I had two amazing junior counsellors, and we had a cabin with ten girls…

Five Ways to Connect with God Amidst Busyness

Sometimes life gets crazy busy and I go through this period of time where I don't spend nearly as much time reading my Bible or spending time with God as I would like to. I used to really beat myself up over that - I would feel guilty about not having enough time, and then…

the things we watch

A couple months ago, my cousins and I were sitting in one of their rooms. We were all just hanging out, laughing, talking about life. The conversation shifted to Netflix, as they began to rave about the show Riverdale. I immediately began to feel uncomfortable. I too, had been drawn into the world of Riverdale.…

be careful little ears

I have been on a secular music fast for the last couple of months, and it has been absolutely wonderful! I spontaneously got this idea on January first and decided to go with it - just to see how it would affect my mood. My plan was to only listen to Christian music as much…

in His time

Alex and I met on this weekend three years ago. At the time, we were both 15. He had a girlfriend, and I didn't really pay much attention to him. But his number was put into my phone when everyone shared their contact info, and we followed each other on Instagram, and for the next two…

twenty seventeen

Just before 2017 began, I started thinking of a "theme word" for the year - something that I wanted to focus on. At first, I couldn't come up with anything. So I just kept waiting for one to jump out at me and say "HEY! Pick me! I'm the one!" I went to buy a…
