thoughts on a rainy fall day
book review of the month: admission
In today’s post, we dive into Julie Buxbaum’s latest release, Admission. I take on this book from a Christian point of view and clue you in as to whether you should or shouldn’t read it!
arminianism: a lesson in legalism
Today, we discuss my journey from perfectionism to freedom, showing the difference between the fruit that comes from arminianism and calvinism.
being vulnerable is really hard: a life lesson with Natalie
In this post, I cover the topic of vulnerability — specifically, letting my guard down with God and trusting Him to accomplish what He will through me — especially when I cannot see any fruit from it.
immodesty + its effects on men, women, & the world (1/4)
This is the introduction (part one of four) of my series on Modesty! In this series, we take a deep dive into many books of the Bible while asking the question, “How does immodesty effect men, women, and the world at large?”
just one light can spark a flame
In today's love letter, we discuss what it looks like to NOT quench the Spirit -- and how doing so can light not only a small spark, but also an entire flame.
where are you, natalie ?
In this post, I discuss my year-long hiatus. I also share the direction of this blog and all the things I want to write about in the future!
re: dear men — you are loved.
It’s International Men’s Day, so in honor of all the great men in my life (and in general), I figured I’d revamp a past post and upload it here to celebrate such a great day. Enjoy!
nat’s diaries, #2: romanticization ♡
in this diary, we discuss the seasons change in full detail -- and how they are so related to the walk of a genuine Christian.
nat’s diaries #1: reminisce ♡
Welcome to a new series of mine, Nat’s Diaries! In this edition, I share a little about my inspiration process and how it is all rooted within my identity in Christ.
Christianity & minimalism (minimal, pt. 1)
In today’s post, we talk about the rise of minimalism and its benefits, especially in the lives of Christians who truly want to live all out for Christ without the clutter.
how our identities affect our ability to spread the Gospel (bias, pt. 3)
In the third and final post of my “Bias” mini-series, I cover how our identities in this world are hindering us from spreading a message that the world desperately needs, especially in times like the ones we’re living in.
imitators of Christ; role models in His image
Do you always feel like someone is watching you? That’s because they are! Whether we believe it or not, we have an impact on the people around us. Let’s be sure to make a positive one, shall we?
how our words affect our ability to spread the Gospel (bias, pt. 2)
As a young person, I have a different perspective when it comes to certain things — especially that which pertains to how we should be speaking toward those who don’t agree with us. Read this post for more!
a calm among the chaos
Instead of letting this quarantine overtake us, let’s take a moment to resonate, relax, and have a resounding quiet time with our Lord and Savior.
labeled by society or renamed by God?
In today’s love letter, I break down the concept of a “good Christian” and how toxic of a mentality it can be when approaching the glorification of God in our individual lives.
social media: it’s too much, and that’s okay
Social media: it may seem like it’s for everyone, but in reality, it’s not for the faint of heart. In this post, we discuss social media as a whole and answer the question of the heart intentions behind what we’re all sharing in the first place.
bias and how it affects our ability to share the Gospel (bias, pt 1)
Bias: we all have it. However, should we be sharing everything about ourselves online, including our political affiliations? If we do as Christians, are we enabling ourselves to be able to better share the Gospel? Or are we just hindering ourselves from being open to a whole world of people that are left in the dark? All this and more discussed on this latest blog post!
a new start
What better way to kick off the celebration of this new year with a new host site, a new writing style, and the story of my writing journey from its start to today?
