Life, Lately

Image
I sat down today and thought, "I should probably get back to blogging." I've has so  much going on lately with school, friendships, romantic relationships (mine and my friends'), and whatnot that I haven't had time to blog or write. Actually, I probably have had the time, I just haven't had the energy. Normally, I would be ashamed of this, but I've decided that I'm not going to beat myself up about it. Life gets busy and complicated. It happens. Anyway, because it's Spring Break and I've had a little time to unwind, I plan on getting back on a better schedule that includes blogging and writing . So... Today's post will be a simple post about what I have been up to lately -however uninteresting it may be. This blog post idea comes from Tessa Emily Hall's Blog .   Currently reading...   The Gospel of Luke I love all the Gospels, but Luke is one of my favorites because of his detailed account. Passion and Purity ...

Happy New Year, guys! While I was blog-hopping this morning, I found something interesting that I’d like to try, here. From what I gather, it’s pretty much called the “One Word Challenge.” The challenge basically asks you to pick a word that describes what you want to focus on this year.

So tangled up that I feel like can’t move, metaphorically speaking. Of course, I’ve noticed over the years that for every issue in my life, there generally tends to develop an appropriate physical manifestation –and that physical manifestation is usually wh...

Hey, everyone. I'm so excited to host my very first guest post on A Write Spirit today! About a year ago, I was browsing through writing blogs and stumbled upon Tessa Emily Hall's blog, Christ is Write . It's kind of weird because it just registered with me (like a week ago) that we both have "Write" in our blog names... Oops. Anyway, I was so inspired by Tessa's writing and I was amazed that she was about my age. After reading her blog for a few weeks, I emailed her with a question and found that she was an extremely encouraging person. From that moment on, I excitedly awaited for the release of "Purple Moon." A few months ago, she asked if I wanted to be a beta reader for the book. Y'all, I was SO excited. I didn't have to wait, anymore... Victory for the impatient one! :) I readily agreed and the book was wonderful. Then, a few weeks ago, she asked if I would be willing to take part in her blog tour. Again, I was psyched. I...
