I wrote the letter below a few days ago because God has been speaking to me recently of surrender. I love to think my life is really my life, but as He has been reminding me, I am not my own. This contract is my way of re-surrendering my life to Christ. I wanted to…
The Undeserving Gift of Peace
I have been overwhelmed again. This year, I have been praying for God to give me more clients in my job because it has been a hard year financially. I was hoping that maybe He would give me a new client every other month; I need a space between clients because of the workload. Unfortunately,…
When I Learned to Have Joy in My Suffering
The seed contains the blessings of life. It is so small, so frail, yet it produces vegetables, fruit, trees, flowers – all wonderful nutrition from which we thrive. However, does the seed know this when we plant it in the ground? Does it understand how strong and beautiful it will be after its season under…
Dealing with Rejection (Part 1)
Today I am going to start a new series called “Dealing with Rejection”. Rejection has many faces. It showed itself in the moment you discovered the school application you sent out was denied. When your friends made plans and forgot to invite you. When your crush ignored your friend request on Facebook. When you were…
15 Things To Do While Waiting for Your Prince
This topic has been on my heart for a while. I find that many young ladies believe a guy will fix their life or “complete” them, and once they have a boyfriend or a husband, it will all be okay. Some think if they have someone who loves them, then they will learn who they…
Sickness Needs To Go. Pronto.

Examining Love: Love is Kind and Not Rude
It’s not often that I find myself thinking, “Hm. I could either be really kind right now, or really rude”. Kindness vs. Rudeness isn’t so much a situational thing as it is an everyday lifestyle thing. That is what I think can make it so easy to gradually slip out of an attitude of kindness…
Examining Love: Love is Protective, Hopeful and is not Proud or Boastful
Hey Princesses! I am blessed to be a part of this blogging series about love! Katya has asked me to share a little about what I know about love being protective and not proud; hopeful and not boastful. I am by no means perfect and this is something that I have to remind myself of…
Valentines Day: Not Just A Day For Romance
Hi Princesses. My name is Nadia and I am Katya’s mom. I am writing to you today because my angel (Katya) has pneumonia so please keep her in your prayers. Today, I am going to talk to you about Valentine’s Day, which is a “holiday” I did not like. You see, because I was single…
Not Of This World
A few weeks ago my mom got me this really cool t-shirt by “Not Of This World“. Apparently, it’s this Christian apparel company. I recognized the logo, I’d seen it pasted onto the bumper of cars before, but I confess, I’d never knew what the logo meant until now. I always wondered what that little…
You Can Trust God With Your Heart
Today on Instagram I posted “You Can Trust God With Your Heart”. I am going to share some of my testimony today that talks about this. I was raised by my mom and grandma. Growing up, my dad did not play a big part in my life. When I was little I saw him more…
You Are Not Ugly
Today I posted “You are not Ugly” on Instagram. Some people may laugh at this and think “Of course I’m not ugly! I’m beautiful. ” Then that’s great and I’m so glad you see yourself as beautiful. No, I’m talking to you girls, the ones who can’t even look at their face in the mirror.…
