I realized lately that there are things happened, that seemingly keep happening and I wonder, “Why does this keep happening and what does it mean?” Instead of just wondering, I pray about it. Because really, who is going to give you a better explanation for His plan than God? Some questions are silly like, “Why […]

I love the Fall and I am experiencing it right now! From a girl who spent the last 3+ years in south Florida, this cool weather is the best! Outside it’s foggy, chilly, and we just got back from a hike. And inside, I have a fan in the window, blowing in the fresh air […]

It’s almost late September and it (sometimes) feels like Fall, I’m in Wisconsin for a few more weeks, and I accidentally got sunburnt just 3 days ago. Ugh. This is what I did. I used oils. Yup, my trusty essential oils. And the burn, and my lobster red skin, were 90% recovered by morning. No […]

I hate when my psoriasis flares, it’s the worst feeling. What does it feel like? My skin itches, it’s on fire, it turns red, and it’s all around uncomfortable. So what do I do when it happens? Slather on steroid cream? Run to the dermatologist to get shots? Nope. These are the last things I […]

God wants us to love Him. That’s a biggie. Love God, and love people. God wants us to love everyone. He wants us to be giving. He wants us to jump to the aid of anyone who needs it. God wants us to be selfless. God wants us to lend a helping hand and volunteer. […]
