Hey there! I’m Kira and I’m so glad you could stop by! I am a 17 year old Christian, homeschooled senior in highschool, and welcome to my blog.

My hope is that you will see Christ in me, and that God be glorified through this little ole blog of mine. May you be encouraged in your visit here, and hopefully you will stop back again soon!

” It’s not motivation that keeps you writing. It’s writing that keeps you motivated.” ~ Author Unknown Kind of an interesting quote, don’t you think?

We had yet another frost the morning after I shared my other post “A Winter Wonderland“. Unlike those that were taken from inside the house, the following ones were taken from the car while my mom and I were driving.

I am continually amazed at the love of our Heavenly Father and of the reality of Christ’s death on the cross as the propitiation for our sins, so that His children may be counted righteous in His sight; Not because of anything we have done, but out of the love and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ. The following are the lyrics to [...]

I admire all of you ”early birds” out there; those who can rise early in the morning as a natural occurence. You have the opportunity to accomplish the things that may otherwise be rushed or forgotten by the “night owl”.

A “Winter Wonderland” is what I saw while looking out the window early this morning. Isn’t it beautiful? I can hardly believe it myself, especially since the photos were taken at a distance from inside the house. I am indeed blown away by our awesome Creator’s handiwork…

I just finished today going through the book, “Just Do Something” by Kevin DeYoung. I found it clarified a lot for me in the areas of decision making and finding God’s will for our lives, along with exposing some of the most popular “methods” that people will try to use to find future revelation, supposedly from God. Kevin uses his story as an [...]
