February 8, 2017

Recently, I’ve been working through a trial. I’ve been praying, keeping a humble spirit and an open heart, and above all, I’ve been seeking God with everything I’ve got.

Vulnerability,
January 18, 2017

I’ve found I can apply dating principles not only to my relationship with my boyfriend, but also my relationship with my family and friends.
