God's Grace

Delicious Granola recipe that is actually really healthy, but as you can see, I turned it into a dessert. I'll tell you how to make both: For one serving Regular granola: 1/2 cup rolled oats (I added 2 extra tablespoons) 1 1/2 Teaspoons sweetener or sugar Pinch of salt 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder Dash of vanilla Unsweetened almond, cashew, or flax milk (I just used regular milk mixed with a little creamer for a different taste) Mix all the ingredients together. Spray down a skillet. Roast the granola until it's golden brown. Ta da! For the dessert: Add some cake mix Sprinkle mini or regular chocolate chips on top Melt chocolate and vanilla chips together for frosting Add a little coolwhip for that extra touch Enjoy!

  AI art can turn out amazing ^ Or not so much 😭 Black Widow fanart This is Cerise, one of my book characters This was my attempt at Percy and Annabeth. It's ok, but alas, Annabeth doesn't have blonde hair. Harry and Ginny <3 Anakin and Padme? Um, okay... I'm gonna try and edit this one. So yeah. You can literally create anything on Tome! Although it ain't free and my free trial has almost expired so you won't probably be seeing any more AI art for a while 😭

  What's Up Lately (like the actual one not me being distracted) I've struggled with depression for years. It peaked in my tween years... and has been less of a struggle since I was fourteen, I think. Lately, that's been changing. I've found things to be even worse than they were. My diagnosis for this negative turn: I'm finally understanding what makes me feel the way I do. Not completely. I know there are plenty of mysteries that keep me up at night. But I understand enough to make it hurt more. Feeling lonely turns into feeling abandoned. Anger leads to bitterness or resentment. It's like things that make me hurt make me hate. And that's no way for me to live, especially as a Christian that loves the Lord. So... what now? Yes, this is AI art ;) Easy. God . If I don't know where to look, it's almost certainly because I should be looking up. I remind myself every. Single. Day. And I still forget. Sometimes I will be moping around with nothing else

Hey guys 🤟  It's been a while since I've posted. Lots of highs since then, plenty of lows. I'd love to hear how all of ya'll have been doing! I've been ✨aesthetically✨expressing myself a lot lately. Through photography, art, writing music (that will never be heard by other ears lol they're so bad- maybe I should stick to photography 🥴), and even trying my hand at ai art These are some of my favorite ai so far: Welp this is turning into a gallery so let's turn these into two new separate posts 👀 *What's Up Lately* *AI Art*

 I've had panic attacks before. Actually, just this last week I had the opportunity to learn how inhalers work. This wasn't that. I've been feeling down for a few weeks, actually---but these last couple of days, off and on, have hit hard . As we were driving home from my grandparent's house, I almost lost it. I had never felt so hopeless before. I had a moment of "why am I even alive right now". All of this feels a bit dramatic for what I am currently facing, but it is one of my most challenging storms yet. If not the most challenging. And I almost couldn't take it anymore. But it passed. I tried really hard to divert my thoughts. Where did they go? Straight to today's sermon. Hopelessness at the current state of the world. That was part of the sermon. Actually, that was a sign of spiritual slumber. Well, I have my diagnosis, don't I? I've been spiritually slumbering. That's why this hurts so bad right now. I'm trusting in things that b

 Got the skateboard and the confidence, I'm all set. I totally mastered skateboarding today 😎 But like f'real, I got it down pretty good considering it was my first time. I only wiped out like three times! #goals

Okay, so pretty much leadership development 2.0 was all about hands on experience. I got the chance to co-counsel for two weeks, each week with a different main counselor. Both taught me so much about talking to kids, managing a whole cabin full of rowdy girls, and being respected but also fun. The first week I was counseling in Silver Maple with Mattea, who is really cool. I got to know her a lot better over the course of the week. I came into LDC 2 super nervous. My CFAD (counselor for a day), otherwise known as "leech day", during LDC 1 I would not consider a success. I had quite a few panic moments, in which I asked myself, "what on earth am I doing here?" But then something amazing happened. I prayed and God gave me a much needed heart change. I was doing it for him, and for the girls. And honestly... That was so exciting. With that in mind, I was able to approach the week with more confidence. I found communication with Mattea to be key. Understanding what sh

 First off we went boating for father's day, but a few of my friends came along! Hannah of course came, and then my friends Ruthie, Jayla, and Rayna came!! It was a lot of fun, especially because some of them had never been tubing before. Afterwards, Jayla and Rayna had to get back to camp, sadly. But Ruthie was able to come and stay over with Hannah and I at my grandparents cabin about 20 minutes from camp. The next day would be LLDC 2, so this was, I guess, our "last chance" to catch up before we would be busy all summer, essentially. We had a lot of laughs and Ruthie fell asleep more than once and started sleep talking. Lol. Hannah and I had quite the time with that, especially because after she woke up she couldn't remember anything she'd said... It was chaotic but hilarious. I'm so blessed to have these two sisters, one by blood, both by bond. 💛 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 The only picture I took of the sleepover 😭 (I took a video, but it wouldn't load.. Bat box
