We're surrounded by so many voices that speak into our lives. Friends, mentors, teachers, parents, social media... the list is endless. In a world so full of voices, it's important to pay attention to what and who you're listening to. Passivity will lead to hurt, darkness and sin. Underneath all the voices there are messages …

Rest in the Chaos

This has been a crazy year so far. Almost everything normal has been stripped away, leaving this strange coronavirus life. Are you done with it yet? There are so many unknowns in our life right now. The future is shaky and uncertain, the present confusing and often chaotic. It's hard to find rest for our …

The Problem with Romance Novels (and other romantic media)

On July 3, 2020July 3, 2020 By McKinley2 Comments

After a long year of reading mostly classic novels, I finally found some modern YA novels to binge read. It's been wonderful. As much as I love classic literature, there's nothing quite like getting sucked into a modern book. One of the things I look for in a book is a good romantic subplot. They're …

At the beginning of quarantine, I know many of us set life-bettering goals. With an unknown amount of time stretching out before us, we dreamed of how we could use this season to grow and change for the better. I'm not sure about you, but my plans didn't turn out exactly how I'd hoped. I've …

On May 22, 2020 By McKinley7 Comments

When I was younger, I really wanted a Perplexus ball. It's a 3D maze puzzle inside a clear plastic sphere. You move the sphere around to get this small metal ball through the maze, without it falling off the edge. I saw the game in a catalogue, and for weeks afterward I would sit in …

Why We Can Stop Worrying About the Future

On May 9, 2020 By McKinley2 Comments

I noticed something as I was looking over past entries in my journal. I stressed about the future a ton. I planned out things I hoped I would do and worried about things I knew were coming. But COVID-19 stopped all those things. I spent so much time stressing, and yet none of it is …

This is a crazy time. Whether on the front lines or just stuck at home, not many of us are enjoying this virus and all that it brings. Not only that, but we're surrounded by so many worries right now. When will this end? How many people will die? The list goes on. Guess what? …

I have a lot of goals for my future. From my dream university to my dream of being published, I've got some big plans. Often, I like to think about the wonderful places I might go, and the great things I might do someday. But then I remember that my purpose is to glorify God. …
