How to Be Content
I wish I knew the answer on being constantly content. It feels almost impossible to live in the moment unless we’re in a moment of pure bliss.

Fishes & Loaves
I’ve been without any inspiration or motivation to write for almost a year now. It’s been weird but also eye opening.

But maybe you don’t see Gods plan when it comes to your mental health. How can God give you thisContinue reading “This Moment: Mental Health”
My Testimony: Part 2
I was sitting in a room with beautiful decorations. A diffuser was humming next to the window and I was playing with a squishy ball in my pocket. I liked coming here but I never knew what to talk about. I would talk about what I did during my day and then leave. I neverContinue reading “My Testimony: Part 2”
