A Good Dose of Truth

Brianna

Is it wrong for me to say that I always want to be right? For some reason, that statement comes off a bit strong to most people and carries a negative connotation. But is it wrong to want that? Is it wrong to want to always be right?

My thoughts? No, it’s not wrong to want to always be right. When you think about it, why would you not want to always be right? Why would I want to be wrong when I take a stance on something? That just wouldn’t make much sense.

Where it turns into a problem, however, is when we think we are always right–so much so that we’re not willing to even consider another stance or point of view. When I decide that I know everything and insist that I am always right, that’s when I start to become…wrong.

When I’m Not Enough

Brianna

By no means have I ever considered myself perfect. Or even close to perfect. I’ve never been so deluded that I thought I had my life completely together and that everything in my life was just…perfect.

No, I’m frequently a bit of a mess — no matter how well I’ve learned to hide it when other people are around me. Let’s face it, I’m a 24-year-old single female who lives on her own, doesn’t clean frequently enough, worries about the future, has bills and student loans to pay, gets emotional and hormonal from time to time (like us females expertly do), worries too much about how she looks, does NOT consider herself even close to satisfactory at cooking, and has a bit of a stress attack when she doesn’t get her introvert “me alone time” at least once a week.

That’s the messy side of me in a nutshell.

By the Water

“C’est la vie,” we say. “That’s just the way things are.” Which is true. Ups and downs are a reality of life for everyone. Good times and bad.

These past six months, I’ve been going through really good times. And these good times have felt all the better due to the fact that before then, life had been pretty dark. Continue reading “By the Water” →

The Adulting Christian

Brianna

Okay, I just wrote the title for this post and giggled for a good ten seconds straight. I know the title sounds silly, but I just couldn’t bring myself to change it. And I have to admit, it’s a pretty accurate description of my life these past couple years.

Anyway, as you’ve probably already figured out, I’m dedicating this post to something that defines me pretty well at the moment–what it’s like to be an Adulting Christian. Continue reading “The Adulting Christian” →
