Lost and Hurting Youth

I haven't written anything on here in a while. It's been a rough last couple of months... I will resume with the God and Me Year series on the next one. I have learned a lot from doing a school year of no dating, but for now... I will write about something that sits heavily…

God and Me Year Part 6 – Many A Blessings

God has blessed me so much this past month and a half... almost two. I have and am going through many trials right now, but I still can't help but feel blessed. I have my dad, who is sick; my sister who is pregnant; my mom who is trying to deal with my sister (mainly)…

God and Me Part 5 – “You Need Closure”

Coming home has brought back a lot of sad memories from this time last year. Though I am thankful that I was able to get through it all, I can't help but be sad at the same time. This time last year... I struggled to keep going. I had things going on in life that…

God and Me Year Part 4 – “Finish Strong”

Since returning from Thanksgiving Break I have been thinking a lot about what I need to do about a certain guy that I have come to like. Certain things, situations, and things that have been said have brought me to this conclusion: I should've been more careful about what I did and said and how…

God and Me Year Part 3 – Love Story(ies)

There's been a couple love stories being played out in my life. What do you understand by love story though?? Most think boy falls for girl or girl falls for boy. Let me get this straight though... I'm talking about one great LOVE STORY and then some smaller love stories that are girl falling for…

God and Me Sort of Year Part 2 – What is Beautiful?

I've always struggled with this question. As a female, I think we're always being told what's beautiful according to what society dictates and if we're not, people have no problem with letting us know. See, this is where it sets in in young girls' minds. Who wants to be told, "You're not pretty," "You need…

God and Me Sort of Year Part 1

So... This whole singleness for a year thing where I just focus on my relationship with God has been a struggle... I'm not going to lie. At first I was like, "This isn't going to be difficult." THAT WAS A LIE! I understand why friends were telling me it was going to be hard, because…

The Year of Singleness

Okay, so I've mentioned a lot to those around me that I'm not interested in dating nor am I willing to even look at guys as dating material or anything like that this school year and somehow people don't understand how that could be. If I were a freshman here.... They wouldn't question the logic…

Third Year – Junior

Seems like this year, school's going to be a lot more hectic than before. I'm going to be working part time and going to school full time. I've never done that before, so I'm kind of scared of how everything is going to work out. But I have come up with rules, limitations and goals…

Thinking and Packing

So, it seems like lately, I've had lots of things on my mind as the inevitable time to go back to school approaches. And it seems like a good amount of my thoughts have circles around a certain group of people and that a lot of it has ended up on here. As I was…
