 You might be wondering what this blog is really about and who is really writing it. I hope this brief introduction is helpful....

    To begin with, here is a short summary that about sums me up:
 I'm an aspiring high school girl with a head full of dreams and a heart full of God. I've been raised in a Christian home, I'm not perfect (far from it), but I love Jesus.  I am familiar with teenage girl struggles and would love to encourage other high school girls.

     I'm also homeschooled and proud of it! 

           

            Delights include: thrift shopping, cooking, practicing photography, reading, sunsets at the beach, lattes, and playing the piano.
       And nothing is more beautiful than sitting by the fire with a book and tea.
      I'm hoping to make a difference for others through this blog as well as in my own life! Half the things I will write about I still struggle with everyday. But I desire to share how God can work through our struggles. We are each born to glorify God, and when we give our lives to him, he will transform us and mold us to fit his purpose for us.  The joy comes when we align our dreams with God's dream for us. This enables us to live life abundantly. I wish to catalog the beauty and lessons I find in each moment.
I'd love to be connecting with my audience so please give me feedback.
