God’s timing can be frustrating, at times. We seek Him out for guidance, and we’re in a hurry for His answer, but it feels like we’re met with silence. He never works on our timeline, and while it’s okay to feel annoyed and frustrated, we should still have faith. Keep praying, and know that when…

Writing this series close has proven to be quite impossible. As someone who wants closure in all things, it was driving me crazy, but I waited for God’s direction.

Sleep is not something I do well. My mind likes to run marathons, take unwanted walks through memory lane, and my body seems to have an aversion to relaxing. Sleep, for me, is chaotic, and unsatisfying, but I was used to my kind of sleep. A few weeks ago, my sleep got worse. I would…

For the second time this year, I wound up getting sick. This time it was pretty debilitating. Every little movement was exhausting, and painful at times. I am finally recovered, and able to get some writing done. I’m sorry that it’s been so long since I’ve posted, but I promise that in the next couple…

For the first time since I was in middle school, I was unmedicated. My emotions were difficult to control, and they felt foreign. This was my newest hurdle. I had to learn to feel things in a healthier way. I had to reign in my emotions. With God leading the way, I slowly learned how…
