Hello unknown

Hi there let’s chit chat :)

Hello unknown

I am an 18 year old girl from a town of 800 people in the middle of Minnesota whose life is consistent of hockey, writing, Jesus, and coffee.

Let's dive in... :)

I love to smile, it’s my way of showing others love and joy. I am a true believer in spreading as much joy and happiness as I possibly can. And for me I get asked why I smile so much and what makes me so happy. But the kicker is those things don't come from the earth and my possessions. It doesn't come from my iPhone 8, shoe collection, dance friends and career, nanny job, or my car.

It comes from Jesus

What a beautiful name indeed, what a man. I've been involved in the church since I was a baby so naturally I found attraction to God at a young age. But as I hit my teenage years and middle school I began to notice that these earthly things like friends, family, and dance weren't enough. I felt this inexplicable emptiness deep down in my heart. Imagine you are planning your week in your calendar and suddenly you get a phone call and every appointment, class, work schedule, and lunch time and date is changed. I raised my hand one Wednesday at a youth group and almost instantaneously God began moving his plans for my life into action. And the best part is that my life's purpose changed into the best possible thing; serving God.

One thing I’ve learned from my walk with God is that he challenges us and pushes out of our comfort zones. For me I liked my bubble and being able to stay there, sheltered and safe. So when God began asking me to be obediant naturally I got scared. So God called me to these 5 things;

1: Trusting In him

2: Forgiving others

3: Letting him lead me in what I say, do, and my actions.

4: Starting habits of daily Bible Study and Prayer

5: Repentence


Each thing I had to earn and I’m still working on. When we accept Christ into our hearts we are saying “ Lord here is my life, I lay it down before you because I want more than anything to dedicate my life to you. “

I pray for you who is reading this, know that God has his hand stretched out toward you. The ball is in your court. I hope you know the love God has for you. It says in Galatians 5:22 “ But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness “. These things are attainable just believe that God will work in you and prosper you.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
