One Year Blog Anniversary

Hello friends! I am pleased to announce the one year anniversary for my blog! First off, I would just like to thank those who have been with me from the start. Your support means a lot to me!

Second, I’ll admit, I’m a bit surprised that it’s already been a year. But, I am grateful to Lord for how far I’ve gotten. He has blessed me so much and I am glad to serve Him. I also  pray that God will continue to use this blog for good, and that it will bring honor to Him. I’ve taken some great pleasure in writing these articles and I hope that they have been beneficial in some way. 

I firmly believe in callings and purposes, and I plan to keep challenging Christian teens to pursue them wholeheartedly and to live in a way that glorifies the King. I also hope to improve how I serve you all, and seek to make this blog better. May this one year of blogging be the beginning of many more years to come. 

As a fun little thing, I’ve decided to include a couple things to get to know me! So, first off, in 

theme with the purpose of my blog, I’d like to recommend* some good Christian books for teen reading:

1. The Case for a Creator – Lee Strobel 

This was interesting to see the logical and scientific evidence that really support the truth of a Creator. 

2. The Whole Message of the Bible in 16 Words – Chris Bruno

I found this good for getting an overall perspective of the Bible and its important key points.

3. Dig Deeper: Tools for Understanding God’s Word – Nigel Beynon & Andrew Sach

Helpful for reading and interpreting Scripture. 

4. The Screwtape Letters – C.S. Lewis (can you really go wrong with his stuff?)

Thought-provoking.

5. Live Like a Jesus Freak – DC Talk

Inspiring stories/motivating/challenging.

6. Experiencing God: Student Edition – Henry T. Blackaby & Claude V. King

Wonderful bible study. 

7. The Armor of God – Priscilla Shirer

Great bible study for women!

Now, I thought I’d include 10 fun facts about me:

1. For those who like personality types, I’m a INFJ-T
2. I’m a traveler and have been to 8 different countries (the majority in Europe)
3. I have two swords and I love swords, daggers, and castles
4. I have a deaf name 
5. I never thought I’d blog
6. I’m working towards a career in publication as a fiction author
7. Art is my second passion 
8. I love redemption stories–a lot. 
9. I have never read Harry Potter or the Hunger Games (and I’m peachy with that)
10. The Young Writer’s Workshop* changed my writing life

To top it off, I’d like to conclude with 10 of my favorite fiction books/book series:

1. The Wingfeather Saga – Andrew Peterson 
2. Percy Jackson – Rick Riordan
3. Tales of Goldstone Wood series – Ann Elisabeth Stengl
4. J.B. Collins series – Joel C. Rosenberg
5. The Kingdom series – Chuck Black
6. The Sword in the Stars – Wayne Thomas Batson 
7. Narnia – C.S. Lewis
8. Little Women – Louisa May Alcott
9. The 39 Clues – various authors
10. The Peleg Chronicles – Matthew Christian Harding
