SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨

Same… that’s why I don’t do makeup. (No judgment against any girls who do wear makeup, I know everyone has different reasons) But for me, I just don’t feel like taking the time, and it feels like I’m trying to be someone I’m not. For nice occasions I will put on a little bit of makeup, but for everyday life it’s too much work lol.

@elishavet-pidyon

Thanks! That was really helpful to get the wheels turning in my head!

@raxforge thanks!

@rae my characters aren’t super well fleshed out yet either but I’ll give it a go with what I have

Ellie (16)- She has a compassionate heart and is deeply moved by the issue of human trafficking. Also has a good sense of discernment. (It’s her older sister who was kidnapped as a young child, but I haven’t decided if I want her…[Read more]

Has anyone noticed how the beauty standard now is like “you have to be tan and have darker skin or else you’re not pretty enough”?

Hmm I hadn’t thought about it, but you’re right. I’ve never really tried to deliberately tan, but now that you say it, yeah it is kind of a stigma.

@whalekeeper

Okay, I have some time today, so I’m going to write out my thoughts and advice. I might come back to this tomorrow.

So, for anyone who’s interested, here’s my tips for

Designing Magic Systems

I like to think of there being three main aspects of a magic system: Access, Effects, and Cost. Access refers to any prerequisites for using…[Read more]

Every time I leave my house and I’m driving, I pray out loud that I drive safe and Jesus uses me to be a light wherever I’m going! like every time I’m like “Jesus, it would be really nice if I didn’t go off the road today…” lol!!!

Haha didn’t see this until after I made my last post lol.

@savannah_grace2009

I wish Jesus could just drive for me though… *cries* Sometimes when I get nervous I picture angels watching over me and surrounding my car, and Jesus with me, guiding my hands on the wheel, and it helps me so much!

Yeah it’d be so nice if He could literally just take the wheel sometimes lol. Not saying He couldn’t… I w…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Do you ever hide random mini Jesuses places? I have a couple, and one I just found someplace. XD

@liberty that sounds cool!

@liberty Weird how it’s saying it didn’t tag me. I got the notification on the first tag.

I might do this story, but I might not, cause it’s kinda hard for me to get an idea fast, especially for such an abstract concept.

Also….I mean…if you read the one I posted for the “story of a scar” challenge, you’ll see how bad I am at making short…[Read more]

One last thing: what they’re teaching sounds like critical race theory.

Yup, it is! And it’s in all the schools and curriculums and kids are believing it! Being homeschooled up until my senior year, I had never had to deal with racism, and I never thought I would, being taught that we live in America, in a land where there is equality f…[Read more]

That feeling when you’re reading an Answers in Genesis book, and don’t get me wrong, they’re great, but sometimes that writing team NEEDS a couple more editors……

I go through a section and I’m like “Mr. author, you could’ve said that in ten words and it woulda been just as impactful, but you used two whole sentences, and because of that it kind…[Read more]

@stephie

I didn’t realize you were Canadian.

I don’t know much about Marxism, but yeah, it sounds pretty bad.

@savannah_grace2009

I also understand about it feeling casual…but then again I’m also the person who will talk to Jesus about anything and everything and see Him as my best friend…like if I’m blasting rap music I picture Jesus in the car with me in the passenger’s seat jamming out with me XDXD

Girl literally… that’s so relatable! Sometimes i…[Read more]

READ.

ELLA.

ENCHANTED.

@trailblazer

But anyway… lest I start a debate, I’m going to get down off my soap box now.

Yeah, me too XD

One last thing: what they’re teaching sounds like critical race theory. According to Brittanica:

Critical race theory (CRT), intellectual and social movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that rac…

@stephie

No I totally see what you mean. I don’t know if it’s the same way in Canada, but here in the States the same thing is being taught in the schools, only it’s an issue of whites and African Americans. They’re trying to say whites are inherently racist against other nationalities (mainly stemming from the issue of slavery). While I do think…[Read more]

@raxforge Common mistake. I’m used to it though.
