In our lives, there are so many sources of noise and confusion. My motive for having this blog is to provide a source of quiet for your mind and more importantly, for your soul. I want every post to be wrapped in calm assurance in God's love.

Create gentle waves just like you did in high school by working in a
little styling cream and loosely braiding hair before you go to bed. In
the morning, comb through with your fingers while brewing your coffee.
Tired of topknots? A low side bun is just as easy to pull together with a
single rubber band. If you've got an extra minute, boost the texture by
braiding a small section of hair, wrapping it around the base of the
bun, and securing with bobby pins.
What's my biggest fear? Well, aside from spiders, I guess I'm afraid of not accomplishing what I'm meant to do with my life. I'm afraid of running out of time to do my life's work, whatever that is. I mean, I want to get married and have a family, but to do that, you have to have a husband. I don't know about you, but I've noticed that to get a husband, you have to get married. And before that, you have to do all kinds of things like find the right guy (or let him find you), become friends with him, date him, fall in love with him, become engaged, plan the wedding, and then shell over all kinds of money for the huge event. Whew! Then comes the next phase (not speaking from experience here). You settle into your new life together, try to get along, work out the problems, and then you start having children. You have to get used to your new bundles of joy, and work out the issues there too.
Yesterday I was shopping and I was noticing that there were a great abundance of products that had celebrities' pictures on them. This is nothing new. But it struck me with new force that their only intent is to get us, the consumers, to buy what the celebrity's face is on. Why is their face on it? Their name? Do they actually use it? Do they know if it's a good product? Or is it just to get us to put it in our cart? I think that the latter is true. Why should I buy something just because a celebrity's name and face is on it? Do you realize that those pictures have been edited? Nobody actually looks that perfect, and you won't either, just because you use that particular product. Nobody is going to look like them, because no one is computer-edited and generated in real life. I realize that I am asking a lot of questions here, but maybe you should consider doing that when you shop. Ask questions. Why do you want to buy this? Is it really all that it says it is? I...
+ J.M.J. Last Saturday, I saw "The Fault in Our Stars" at the movie theatre. I thought that it was a cute movie. Don't worry; I'm going deeper than that. The expectation was that it was going to be a tragically sad movie. While it was sad (I cried), the first big chunk of it was a comedy. I laughed a lot! The underlying message threading its way throughout was one of love even in the midst of suffering. I think that we need love especially when suffering. God is ready to wrap us up in His love at all times, and we tend to draw closer to Him when we are hurting the most. This movie is rated PG-13, so there are inevitably some immoral elements involved. Just keep that in mind. I did not like the fact that this type of content was in there, but it was implied, so it was not terribly offensive. So what type of suffering was in the movie? Cancer. That terrible, awful disease. What made it worse was that young people were facing it, staring death in the fac...
