We need to speak up! What do we do when we don’t have the strength to overcome anymore? Do we continue to figure out new ways to fight against our addiction/temptation/struggle? Maybe we feel we’ve done all that we can do on our own…. We’ve tried saying “no” in our minds. Maybe we’ve even literally [...]
I cried the day I broke down and typed “Someone help me stop looking at porn” into the Google search bar. Curled up on my bed in the darkness of my dorm room, I felt alone. I wanted so desperately to have someone comfort me, but halfway through reaching for my phone, I pulled [...]

I just wanted someone to pick me. I felt like the awkward teenager at the school dance nervously crossing and uncrossing my legs on the sidelines— only I wasn’t a teenager. I was in college, and I was tired of being single. I know I was still young then, but it felt like all the [...]

Especially if what they’re doing isn’t “hurting” anyone…. I [...]

I believe that if Christians understood more that their salvation wasn’t earned then just maybe they would be more gracious to others. It’s honestly sad seeing a judgmental Christian, and completely contradicts what they believe in. Hey Christians…Question: Is Jesus’ prerogative to judge the people He came to save?

It’s tough to be a Christian woman. We’ve got words like modesty and grace and prim and proper to contend with – words that don’t always fit us, and the truth is, that’s OK. I, myself, prefer sweatpants over skinny jeans. I’m not great at Pinterest crafts. I’m sarcastic and I wear T-shirts, and it [...]
