a prayer.
This week I just want to share a prayer with you. Maybe it will encourage you to connect with God in a deeper way. I forget so easily that prayer is powerful; not just for requests, but for genuine connection with our God. Will you pray with me? Jesus, You are so good. I am…

Gifted.
What makes you feel alive? When is the last time you were doing something and time FLEW by because you were so immersed in the moment? What were you doing when you last felt proud of yourself? What do you look forward to most? What makes you want to be better? What comes naturally to…

Pretend.
When I was little, my sister and I would play for hours. I remember constantly saying to her “pretend this happened.. pretend I am your pet cat.. pretend you are the mom, pretend, pretend, pretend.” At the daycare center I attended, we played outside most days and the swings were my favorite.

I used to have really high expectations for myself. In turn, I would hold high expectations for those around me. The constant pressure to be viewed as good and perfect was my life.

Worldview.
Everyone grows up in a particular setting. Everything you experience as a child influences who you become and how you see the world. Every single person is unique and therefore, every single person sees the world differently. This is considered one’s worldview. Your worldview is the mental structure of all your ideas, perspectives, biases, beliefs,…

Stereotype.
Have you ever been misunderstood? Have you ever been stereotyped? I have. Sometimes stereotypes can be true, but being misunderstood can feel lonely and frustrating. Take Christianity for example. It’s one of the largest religions of the world. In my experience, it has been highly misunderstood by so many people; including myself over the years.…

Confessions of a dreamer…
My name is Kristen. I want to welcome you to my blog. This is my first post and I have to admit I am nervous to share. But I have been dreaming about this for years. I have learned it’s ok to do something imperfectly; especially since most people have different standards of perfect. Sometimes…
