God's Grace

  An eventful 4 day hangout with my best friend Sam! Some highlights: painting, having a picnic under the pier, watching Cinderella, late 3am conversations, going to the mall - buying a DELICIOUS cookie and boba tea, and both refusing to eat the last bite of the cookie, which was soon a very small crumb 🤣 lots of laughs and cuddles and deep conversations were had. Love you Sam 🤍

  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 .

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*

 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...
