In last week’s blog, Pure Boundaries, I touched on the importance of finding your own faith outside of your family’s beliefs.

Last year was a very hard year for me; I was going through a lot of emotional turmoil and brokenness. Years of wounds left open began to bleed, and it was hard just telling myself to keep breathing. But through it all, Yeshua (Jesus) was there. Through every moment where I felt hopeless, He was there.
Messy Grace is a brilliant book that I recommend all congregations, groups, and families read together as a way of discussing and searching the Word on this subject.
If I learned anything last week, besides how incredible my God is and the power of listening to His voice, it’s that you should never compromise your faith to fit in with the crowd around you.
Our God is powerful and everlasting! He is the Alpha and the Omega, the King of the Universe, the Maker of Heaven and Earth!
Please don’t let the title of this post scare you away. Don’t worry, I’m not going to get into, “Which party do you follow?” or, “Hey, how about that President Trump…” I have my beliefs, and you have yours. We are all entitled to our own opinions, and this is not a site where we only cater to one and not the other.
Has anybody ever told you, “Just go with the flow!” What was your response? Usually, I agree with the person and try to relax, but the thought comes easier than the action.

The event you’re about to read is just a sneak peek into what life can be like in Israel. It’s not always like this, but it sure is funny!
Shelter of the Most High, book two in the Cities of Refuge series, was the perfect addition. Picking up eleven years later, the story starts with the introduction of a new character, Sofea.
Caraval was a magical book full of twists and turns. It reminded me a bit like The Hunger Games, but this book was in a category of its own.
Enchanting. Enrapturing. Intriguing. The Orphan’s Tale was a novel that sparked my attention after the very first line! The words catapulted me back in time and into the world of Noa and Astrid, feeling all their emotions and even their thrill of flying off the trapeze.
I have never been good at pretending. I wouldn’t make a very good actress because you can always see what I’m truly feeling on my face.
Girl, Wash Your Face is a raw, real, and honest book that makes you question some, if not most, areas in your life. Rachel Hollis writes from experience but also challenges us to look into our own lives and see if we’re walking with the right mindset or in the lie. This book, from the first chapter, inspired me!
