Lifestyle #1: For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain. ~Philippians 1:21 Do you believe that? Is this applied to your life? Is your life focused on Christ in… Read more »
I participated in my high school’s choir my freshman, sophomore, and junior years. During the fall of my freshman year, there were only seven students in the choir.

HK and I taking cute girly pictures :) …And then along… Read more »

I don’t need to listen To the list of things I should doI won’t try, no, I won’t try People say that mirrors lie. That they distort the images they are reflecting.
