The Baby Eagle: He Smiles.

The Baby Eagle: He Smiles.: Do you ever wonder what God is doing, like at this moment? I constantly ask myself that question mostly because God is fascinating, and I&#3...

You're the marrying type.

I spent years waiting and watching... I thought it was my fault. Everyday, during middle and high school, I looked in the mirror and thought, "What can I do differently today that I haven't done yet? How can I do my hair different? Will he like it curly or straight? Is this shirt tight enough? Will he notice my efforts? Will he notice me at all?"---In those years, I watched all of my friends find boys and enter the world of love, but I was not included. I spent nights crying over boys that didn't even know I existed. You may think that this is so cliche, but it's true. Girls spend majority of their time thinking about what they can do to impress the opposite sex. We try everything from a new hair cut, a new hair color, new clothes, or even a new personality. We will totally change who we are just to get them to turn their heads. I thought it was my fault that the boys didn't like me in "that way"...What did I not have that the other girls ha

Two Peas In A Pod

Image
Without a doubt, each one of my days on Earth start with a little bit of coffee and a whole lot of Jesus. When reading “The Sacred Arts of Life” by Thomas Moore, in HMXP class, I saw myself in this reading. Many people do not understand that coffee and Jesus are not just things in my life I do every day, they are a part of my daily ritual. It’s easy for one to see these two things as cliché, since many posters and pictures have these two objects woven together in quotes, but for me, I cannot go a day without them.   This is the very reason why I decided to create my own art piece that describes my personal sacred ritual. In my reality, coffee and Jesus go together like two peas in a pod, and they are sacred arts of life in my book.             Before I begin creating this art piece, it was vital that I knew why each piece mattered to me. To start, coffee is a liquid dark colored drink created by brewed roasted beans from a coffee plant, but this end result is not sacred to me; i

When The World Doesn't Choose You...

Image
 I was sitting in the Dacus Library at Winthrop when I started working on my reflection for a class. I began to type out my response to a question on the desktop computer when I found myself typing out, "You don't have to be chosen by them because you are chosen by me. "  Even when I am not focused on Him, He is focused on me...always. It was the weirdest thing because I wasn't even thinking in that moment about God (absolute truth).  I wasn't reading my Bible, praying, or listening to my "Jesus Jams" playlist on Spotify. I was working on homework, and my mind was set on finishing these lesson plans and reading reflections that keep piling up one after the other. --Reality.  If I am being honest, I have been in a spiritual slump. You know exactly what I am talking about. It's when you feel like God is NO WHERE to be found, but you KNOW in your soul that He is so near. Your faith in Him surpasses those lies that say, "God left you and
