I really love North Carolina. I love fishing at the beaches. I love people acting polite. I love the weather. I like to joke that people don't enjoy walking here and that the battle for the closest parking spot at the store is insane. But there are few downsides to living here. What do you...

There was an article by Pastor Thabiti Anyibwile that explained that there is no biological basis for race. There are ethnicities and nationalities but race is just a made up concept based on the theory of evolution and Christians should reject it. I can't find the article anymore but it...

You'll never be anything. You're nothing. The alpaca wool scarf was arranged carefully on the mannequin in the corner of the apartment. The green and navy fibers blended together in an ombre transition. Kendra would have paired it with a modest but quirky ensemble with mixed patterns and...

The best pair of headphones I had cost $20. They were sony studio headphones from Best Buy. The music sounded so good! I was so sad when they broke! Haven't found anything that good since I want to hear the bass notes clearly and pay less than $100. Any recommendations?

I don't know for myself. My biggest failure in life, God took that and made good out of it. So I don't think I would change that. I do wish I had opted out of college because that was not the right decision for me. I only went because it was expected, not because of my own desires. A lot of...

The bible says that marriage is a reflection of Christ and the Church with Christ as the husband and the Church as the Bride. Revelation 19:9 King James Version 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These...

Is forgiveness just not taking personal vengeance? Is it forgetting the past and being open to reconciliation? What does it look like and are there limits?

I don't trust people anymore. With privacy, I feel like I don't have to. It feels so deliciously satisfying to keep "friends" Ive distanced myself from out of the loop, that I may never share a facebook post again. They get nothing. Not a pregnancy announcement, status update, nada. But can...

My high school english teacher, who's display of kindness to the undeserving gave me the evidence of Jesus being real. My Mom, the face of self-discipline who taught me how to move forward no matter how bad life gets. My husband, who is the better half, willing to do good and sacrifice for...

Please pray for physical strength and encouragement for me. Im just skating by with less and less ability to do the housewife things at 7 months pregnancy. I hope it doesn't get any worse and that I can find ways to regain some strength. The baby is fine. She is my active girl karate chopping...

So Im technically Gen Z. The Good: We are willing to unlearn some of the toxic mindsets of the past. A lot of us are from broken homes and our parents lived out some terrible ideas. Were hungry for solutions and hungry for God. The Bad: Self-love is the preached attitude of the day. Didn't...

Father, I thank you for the joy you've given me. There's joy in just thinking about Who You are and the dark places you've been with me and delivered me from. There's joy in the seemingly small mercies we take for granted every day. The way you provide us food and clothing. There's joy in the...

God, Im weak in body and weak at times in my resolve not to sin against you. You are strong. It's really all about You, Lord. You give me strength to keep going and to carry on. You encourage me to not give up, to not grow weary in doing good. You are able to do exceedingly and abundantly...

My parents taught the virtues of a college education from a very young age. My attending wasn't even a question. On the inside I didn't feel willing. But no one gave an alternative. So I went and manifested mental illness for the first time. I just wish that someone had been there to say it's...

More than just blessings, I want God's presence. I do want another personal encounter. I have to be honest with myself. He has emotions like we do. He isn't just a concept. He wants to be sought out. I want to pursue Him. I don't know why He doesn't always choose to appear when we seek Him...

Lord, you bless me in so many ways. But You are the greatest blessing of them all. You are not aloof. Not just a concept. You are very real, a very present help. I long to encounter You again. I want to speak to you like Moses. To have the joy of being overwhelmed by your presence. I want this...

Let's start with Consumerism. Marketers know that women are more likely to buy stuff so they've convinced us that we need makeup products to be attractive to men (we don't) and that a "basic" wardrobe includes at least 30 different articles of clothing. I fell for this scam in my own life. I...

I see a lot of modern groups spreading distrust and hatred between men and women. On the men's side, I see pick-up artists, MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way), and incels. On the women's side, of course we have feminism. The Bible says both genders were cursed after the first sin in the garden of...

Volunteering is very underrated. I think people understand it as a noble thing to do but don't realize that what you get out of it is way more than any effort you put in. When I started volunteering at the local pregnancy resource center, it introduced me to women who were like-minded and...

She's just so .... :rolleyes::rolleyes: So I have a theory that if a post involves reading past the title and more than one paragraph, many will not read it. My theory is that people see a title that grabs their attention and go to typing immediately without fully reading the first post in...
