Hey guys!! So as I was getting ready this morning I was thinking about a conversation Andrew and I were having last night, it was about how some Christians act and respond when they don't like something someone does and I feel like someone somewhere needs to hear this on either side of the spectrum.... So you see someone doing something you don't like or hear about it? Well a lot of Christians (Here I will be using the term as "people who have accepted Jesus into there hearts") will respond very poorly, and I have been on the receiving end of this even being a Christian myself (yeah it happens between Christians of the exact same denomination too!!), I have had people judging me for my outfits, my music, you name it and you guys have seen my outfits in some posts, nothing at all bad, pretty modest by today's standards actually, but I have still had people go so far as to tell me I am clearly not a Christian because of it. Reasons like we aren't suppos...

Having the word obey in my vows was never something I really thought about until recently while trying to pick our wedding vows. Andrew mentioned he wanted obey in them and at first I wasn't too into the idea. A little back story for that, as a teen, the LAST thing I wanted to do was to have to obey any guy I was with, that sounded like TORTURE. Growing up in a very traditional Christian family and church though, that was taught (although not super heavily enforced in my house, both my parents worked together). I watched a lot of families who did enforce it and I didn't like how it looked from the way they did it in their households, it looked to me as if the women was basically a slave and I didn't see much love in it. The guy just did whatever he wanted and that was that, she went along. It in the Bible talks about women being a helpmeet for her husband and things like that and submitting to him and I really didn't like that idea as a teen, I ...

Hey guys!! So for todays post I thought I would try and do more of an advice/encouragement post. Now as most of you know, or if you are new you may not, I am a Christian so this is going to very much be based off that, however even if you aren't I am hoping it could still be helpful. So recently someone I know had been praying about something they wanted for months, a very specific thing, and they recently found out, it isn't going to happen, at least not right now. So that got me thinking about all the times I did that and how I felt. Over the last few years really I have been learning to pray about things, but not just pray for what I want, to pray for what GOD wants. Now this person knew that and was doing that, but the hard part about that is being able to accept God's decision isn't always what YOU wanted. It is very hard to trust his decisions when you wanted something so much and he says no or wait. Even recently I myself am really w...

Hey guys! I'm doing a post today because I'm gonna be busy all day tomorrow.  I just want to add a disclaimer before I begin, this is just my experiences and is meant to be funny so no one freak out or get mad. Lol Ok so I come from a conservative Christian family. I've always gone to church and was relatively sheltered. Now as I have gotten out into the real world I've realized just how sheltered I was. The things people say and do are utterly shocking to me. What's more shocking is when I tell them things about myself and they think it's crazy how "well behaved" and "sheltered" I am. I want to categorize levels of conservative Christian families into 3 categories.  Level 1: This is where my parents are. You have a decent amount of freedom, can mostly watch, listen to, and do things you'd like. Still has rules and boundaries. They are still very against things like tattoos, drugs, or alcohol. Or wearing anythi...

Hey Guys!! I wanted to recommend something to you guys today, when I was younger I had some pretty bad self esteem issues, now i'm not saying I never have days where I don't like something about myself now, but I've come along way. For example I used to take up to 2 HOURS finding an outfit because I felt that nothing looked good on me, and I no longer do this because I've learned how to be nice to myself and to deal with things in a healthier way. A big part of what helped me were these books, there are 5 which I will list in a minute and they are by Chad Eastham. Now I started off wanting the first one because it tells you about guys and how to get a boyfriend, or so it seems. These books are very geared toward loving yourself first, they teach you about how to view yourself in a positive light and are very positive and also Chad is quite a funny guy. 1.  "The Truth About Guys" This one just tells you more about how guys think and things along those ...
