This Is What The 30-Day K-Love Challenge Has Done For Me

One of my favorite radio shows is K-Love. It's a contemporary Christian radio show that streams recent music and discusses what's going on in the world.

Years ago when I was listening they had a challenge to listen to only Christian music for 30 days. It sounds impossible, because you don't have control over what others are streaming, but that doesn't count. Whenever you have your own choice of music to listen to, choose Christian music.

I had tried it then and I loved it. I found that it made me an even more positive person than I already am. My faith grew incredibly. I didn't think I was a very religious person. I didn't really read my bible, or pray, I just went to church on Sundays and youth group on Wednesdays. However, through these songs, I was learning more. You would be surprised about the bible stories these songs reference. It got to the point where it wasn't just a 30-day challenge, but a lifestyle. It became my go-to playlist.

Now it's 2019. The first time I heard of this challenge was approximately 7 years ago.

It's been a while and I decided to try it out again to see what it would do for me, and it did the same thing.

I am much happier when I choose to listen to my Christian music compared to my other playlists. Most of the songs have an upbeat message and story.

If you get the chance, take the 30-day challenge yourself. Who knows what you will learn about yourself and your faith, it can work miracles for you.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
