Pure Boundaries
For the last week, I’ve been listening to the book Boundaries by Dr.Henry Cloud and John Townsend. It’s a Christian, self-help book about setting up the right boundaries, when to say yes or no, and taking control of our lives.
The Book Thief
The Book Thief is one of the most incandescent books of this era. The writing is out of this world, and the structure of this book is a stroke of genius.
Any Regrets?
Life is full of choices. It’s up to us to decide if we’re going to do what scares us or sit back and watch the opportunities pass us by.

Thoughts are powerful. We take our minds for granted and don’t really consider what we think about seriously, but we should.
Long Distance Friendships
Growing up as a daughter of missionary parents made making friends a challenge. I have never been in one place long enough to make long-lasting friendships, and if I did make friends, they always ended right before I had to move again.
Through His Eyes
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
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.
Don’t Compromise
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.
God of the Universe
Our God is powerful and everlasting! He is the Alpha and the Omega, the King of the Universe, the Maker of Heaven and Earth!
Let’s Talk Politics
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.
Going with the Flow
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.
Wanted: Husband from God
Warning: This post is based on my personal opinions and is sure to ruffle a few feathers, please proceed with caution!

Two epic love stories of pure passion and romance connect in the unlikeliest of ways; The Longest Ride is a tale, once read, you will never be able to forget!
Prayer for Mid-Terms
Hi Hannah, I really enjoyed reading your website! I was talking to one of my friends over Facetime and she recommended me to this page. You have fans! Maybe one day I can be as cool as you and make my own website, but until then I have to keep studying for this midterm I…
THIS IS US!
Life is messy. It’s not meant to be a straight path. The twists & turns help us grow; they shape us to become the people we are meant to be.
Salt to the Sea
Salt to the Sea follows three people who are trying to get to freedom at the end of the war in East Prussia. Each has secrets they are holding onto, but they all have a common goal: get on board the Wilhelm Gustloff.
The Sabbath Spirit
Following God’s commands is one of the hardest things because the devil will do everything in his power to stop you from obeying our Creator!

Adventures in Israel: Massage Edition
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 – Cities of Refuge: Book Two
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 (Book 1)
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.
The Orphan’s Tale
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.
Coming Out of the Darkness
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
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!
Introducing Me
God leads us on paths we never imagined possible! If you would’ve told me, at the beginning of last year, that I would have my own website/blog that was in my own name rather than a pen name, I would’ve laughed.
Out of Egypt Series
The Out of Egypt series, written by Connilyn Cossette follows the lives of three women (one protagonist in each book) who each go through trials and tribulations through the course of leaving Egypt and coming into the Promised Land.
A Light on the Hill – Cities of Refuge: Book One
The year is 1399 BC, the walls of Jericho have crumbled, and the Dwelling Place is being prepared as the Israelites settle in the land of Canaan, after spending forty years in the wilderness. It’s been seven years since the events of Wings of the Wind (the third book of the Out of Egypt series) and Moriyah has returned to her home in Shiloh with the haunting memories of her time in Jericho still plaguing her mind…
