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. Here is where I write about my various passions and interests as well as my love for the Gospel and Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 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!

Thanksgiving is over, and the Christmas decorations are now up in our house. Our Thanksgiving went great! It would seem appropriate I think to write what I’m thankful for, being that this is kind of my Thanksgiving post (though a bit late). But I was thinking… what about the things that aren’t so obvious? It’s easy for me to be thankful [...]

Storms can be quite amazing… but many people have extreme fears when it comes to them. My mom was one who used to have an extreme phobia when it came to storms, and it wasn’t until soon after she became a Christian when she heard her pastor ask the thought provoking question, “Who do you think is in charge [...]

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”. As I have heard, your morning hours, if spent wisely, can be the most productive time in your whole day. [...]

Each and everyday we are making memories in our home. The encouraging comment, the hug of appreciation, the time we spend to help and build each other up; those small acts of love will be forever remembered. It is in these small ways we are making an impact – especially in our family. We have the [...]

There I was… Loading the dishwasher this evening… I was just going about my business, loading, loading, loading… When I came to… The coffee mug. I proceeded to carry on with my duty, as I began to seperate the cup from it’s lid. You see, you have to be careful when pulling the lid from the cup [...]

How comforting it is, to know that whenever we are going through tough times, trials, tribulations, the Lord is with us and at work in us. He is with us everyday, every moment, with us even in those times of uncertainty, even when we don’t feel Him there. Though we may not understand why God allows certain things happen – we do [...]

May this poem speak to you as it has spoken to me. I think it truly sums up what a sister should be and what a blessing from God being a sister truly is… Being the oldest of four siblings (and not to mention being one with little patience ) I have to constantly remind myself to set [...]

Earlier today, I was reading out of the book of Hebrews, and came across this verse, Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have. – Hebrews 13:5 How often I have to remind myself of this! There are times, where my mind will start to wander, and [...]

Here is the official book description: The next generation stands on the brink of a “rebelution.” With over 16 million hits to their website TheRebelution.com, Alex and Brett Harris are leading the charge in a growing movement of Christian young people who are rebelling against the low expectations of their culture by choosing [...]

Have you ever thought about how short life is? We shop at the Rainbow Grocery store. The people who work there are so friendly! There’s one guy in particular we got to know very well, named Chris. He seemed to be there every time we went, which was quite often since we swung by there on our [...]

Have you ever had times, where you’ve felt distant from the Lord, but then have had other times, were you feel very close to Him? Have you always wanted to have that “fire,” that “passion” for Christ continually, but you find that it sometimes seems to just fade away? Do you experience times, that you [...]

How do we as Christians wisely evaluate the movies we watch? This can definitely be a struggle for many, including myself. When we look at a movie, what standards, or who’s standards are we basing the decisions we make, whether to watch the movie or not? When we were younger, my mom told us a [...]

Sometimes shopping for clothes can be difficult, especially when shopping for swimwear and summer clothes. The shorts keep getting shorter, along with the shirts, not only do they “creep up”, but they also can be so revealing! I’ve also had such a struggle finding somewhat conservative swimwear. We finally found some, but had to modify it slightly with [...]

One sin I battle every Sunday, is looking through those Sunday ads! I find that when I look through them, I start to “need” stuff I didn’t really need before. And I think the “sin” part of it is the “covetousness,” the “desire to want what I don’t have.” I know we all probably struggle with [...]
