Young Lives Matter: 5 Ways to Make a Difference in the Lives of Young People

Being looked down on. It's something that many young people struggle with at work, in the world, and especially in the church. Even though I'm almost thirty, I still fight this negative attitude when dealing with family and even in my church (which I love, by the way). Being looked down on because of your age can often be frustrating. Sometimes older people think that young people are immature, inexperienced, and that they don't know what they're talking about.

Reading List Review: June-July 2016

I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed with the amount of reading I accomplished between June and July--or lack thereof.  All of these side hustles I've been working on leave me little time for reading.  I'm finishing up the most time-consuming one next week, though, so hopefully my next review will be a little longer. Here's what I actually got around to between June and July: The Longing in Me by Sheila Walsh Beauty Begins: Making Peace with Your Reflection by Chris Shook & Megan Shook Alpha What I'm Reading Now: Undefiled: Redemption From Sexual Sin, Restoration for Broken Relationships by Harry…

Goal Setting: Week of June 25, 2016

Here's what I actually accomplished this week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (1/7) Work on 1 cross stitch color Physical: No soda 8 c. of water…

30 Days to Success: A Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving Success in 30 Days

I've been spending some time lately thinking about goals, success, what it means to be successful, and how on earth I can accomplish my goals this month in order to be successful.  I even wrote a post on why many people fail to achieve their goals or be successful.  All of this thinking causes problems for me.  Like it makes me think.  And then I come up with ideas.  And then sometimes I try my ideas.  Sometimes that's scary.  Ha! This time, though, I think I've had something good come out of all of this thinking, and I wanted to…
