My Currently List

Hey ya'll, I want to try something new add a little something fun to my blog. I got this idea from several other blogs, Instagram accounts, and even interviews with my favorite celebrities. I'm using this page to list and share what I'm currently reading, watching, listening to, etc. I'm going to do my best to update this list every other week to keep it as current as possible. Drop your currents in the comments and hopefully we can give each other some fun recommendations in books, shows, music, and more!

I am currently...

Watching: Swamp People season 10 is on Hulu ya'll!!!

Reading: Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Ribay, and of course I'm always reading my Bible.

Listening: the Frozen 2 soundtrack...over and over and over. Lost In The Woods is my jam.

Loving: The Happy Givers They are an awesome non-profit that works hard to support and minister to those in need in real and practical ways. They have some awesome gear for sale too and 100% of their profits goes towards ministry!

Meditating on This Verse: 1 Timothy 4:7-8 "Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."

Facing Fear

Fear...fear is something we all face at some time or another. It can be small or it can be crippling. Some may face it every once in a great while and others face it every day of their lives. Fear can be brought on by accidents, people, wars, disease, governments, media consumption, and by simply being alive. I would venture to say that fear is interwoven into the fall of man, therefore it is interwoven into being human. However, to say that it's interwoven into the human experience doesn't mean that it should be; I truly believe that when God created humanity he never intended for us to be fearful creatures, in fact time and time again the Bible tells us not to fear. This is something that we did to ourselves. The second Adam and Eve messed up and everything came crashing down around them fear entered the picture and it came to stay. Fear doesn't affect and interact with everyone the same way. Some people merely brush up against it...

Embracing Obscurity

As a Christian female in my 20s I know my Meyers-Briggs personality type (INFP), my enneagram (4w3), my love languages, and I've probably taken a spiritual gifts test. I probably take all of these tests every few months just in case my results have changed. Why? Why are we so obsessed with personality types and love languages? They so important to us that we will literally plan and center out entire lives around these results (which is rather unhealthy, but that's a post for another time). Why do we put such an emphasis on these things and purpose to weave them into our lives as tightly as possible? I would suggest that it's because we want to be known. We have a deep desire to be truly by known; to be known by our friends, our family, our co-workers, and even by ourselves. These tests give us the ability to have snippets of ourselves and our personality written out in front of us. It's something tangible that we can present to other ...

Face To Face With Heroes Of The Faith

Hi Everyone! Can you believe I've been in Thailand almost three weeks? It's been an amazing time or learning and adjusting so far. I am enjoying the immersion in a totally new culture. Being able to experience a new language, food, and practices is stretching and challenging at time and other times it's exciting and fun; often it's a mixture of all four. Even though they don't have a whole lot with this post I'm throwing in random pictures just so you can see what I've been up to with your own eyes. There are six of us going through a month of training at Impact School of Missions in preparation for various internships across South East Asia. We have classes and training up until the end of the month; in October we all officially move on to our internships! Our month at ISM consists of classes involving classes on the culture, language, effective ways to minister and serve, culture shock/stress, learning about ourselves, and many more. We explore ...
