Spring 2021 Christian Girl Book Review
Happy spring, lovely one! The trees are turning green, and the flowers are blooming. Despite the beautiful, mild weather, I still find myself drawn to my books.

An Unexpected Lesson on Confidence
There I was, looking in the mirror of the thrift store fitting room as I tried on a pair of super cute jeans. I didn’t like the reflection I saw, and for some reason, I was having a hard time getting over it. If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, then you know that I’m in recovery from an eating disorder. Although I have come a long way, there are still moments when I lose confidence in who I am. This was one of those times. As I threw on my regular clothes and left the fitting room, I tried to shrug off the negative thoughts about my appearance…
