An Identity Crisis
Like many people who work from home, I find myself cozying up with my coffee and listening to music. One day, as I was jamming to Pandora, an advertisement popped up. It stood out to me because it wasn’t one of those obnoxious jingles for a cleaning product. It was an ad for a podcast. What really struck me was the ad’s last sentence, which went something like this: All are welcome here, no matter how you choose to identify. In 2021, a statement like this is considered normal. But something about it bothered me. Pretty ironic for a girl who blogs about helping other women find their identity in…

Between the two youth groups at Winter Camp there were over 200 students worshiping Jesus, giving their lives to God, and having a blast! On the third night, we worshiped for four hours and lives were changed. There…

Double Post– Who Are You?
Hey everyone…sorry I was not able to post on Friday. I had a lot of class work, and then an idea came to mind. I went to a masquerade party at my church, and since the student ministry is focusing on identity this month, I thought it would be awesome to do a double post on identity as well! So now you will get to see my dress and homemade mask that I wore to the party. Again, sorry I did not give warning about this double post. It was a spontaneous sort of thing, and I was busy getting ready for it. This week’s going to be another busy…
