I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me. Psalm 119:102 I was hopelessly failing and there seemed to be nothing I could do about that fact. The first time I took Algebra 1, I was a freshman in high school during our year of furlough in the United States. It was a horrible year regarding my aptitude in math, consisting of depressing progress reports and me … [Read more...] about A Great Teacher
God’s Amazing Gifts: Unmet Expectations
Hi friends!What does God's glory look like to you? I would imagine you have your own ideas of what His glory would look like. There was a man who dared to ask the Lord to show him His glory.

I hope you will take a minute to find … [Read more...] about God’s Amazing Gifts: Unmet Expectations
A Beautiful Need

I made lists of my name ending with my latest crush's last name as mine written out on notebook paper or in the diary that I kept as an older tween/young teen.
