Trials and tragedies

By -
I have been thinking a lot lately about trials I've had in the past. Many of these trials were because I needed to learn something. I have this stubborn tendency to want things done in MY way and in MY timing, but that's not how it works. I've had many trials in my life, but it's been interesting to see how the Lord gave me a trial but prevented a tragedy. For example, I have had a few experiences where I was involved in an accident: I fell down a hill, I fell backwards off a horse, I smashed up a car or two, I nearly drowned. I should have died or been seriously hurt, but I walked away without a scratch from each incident. To be face to face with death and walk away without a scratch is a miracle to me.  If I have had had several experiences where I stared death in the face and was able to just walk away, that must mean that my life is worth something! This gives me the courage to press forward in whatever struggle I may face.  I know that these experiences help to shape me into a better person so that I can be a greater influence for good in the world. I know that all things will work out. They may not work out when I expect or how I expect, but I know that I will be blessed.
Love,
Tabitha

Hot Topics: Non-Committal Make-out Sessions (NCMOS)

By -
Hello blog friends! My sister has been blogging up a storm, and as I mentioned before, this has inspired me to take up blogging again.  You can check out some of her work over at  https://djslifestory.blogspot.com  . My sis and I have been discussing ideas for blog posts, and one of the ideas that we came up with writing an opinion piece about a common practice among young people that has the potential to lead to much more than the participants had bargained for. NCMOS (non-committal make-out sessions) are a plague among some of the college town social scenes that my sis and I have been involved in, so I wanted to talk about why I don't like NCMOS and would discourage young people from participating in them. What are NCMOS? NCMOS are non-committal make-out sessions, where individuals who are not in a committed relationship repeatedly kiss each other just for the fun of it. Sometimes the partners have previously met, sometimes they're friends, but often they're peop...

My sister recently wrote an awesome post about life as a curvy cutie and all of the emotional turmoil that often brings. You can check out her post here:  https://djslifestory.blogspot.com/2018/01/being-plus-size-woman-self-esteem.html    Her post was so awesome and thought-provoking, and I could relate to a lot of what she had to say! That's why I decided to write a short response to her post and share it with y'all. My sister wrote a lot about how being a curvy cutie affected her social life, how she dressed, and how she felt about herself. Despite her challenges, she finds different ways to rise above them and be comfortable being unique. She's developed a style all her own, and let me just tell you, sometimes I want to raid her closet! I want to be like Denali when I grow up. I too can relate to self-esteem issues related to my size. I've always been bigger, even when I've been more physically fit. Add shyness and quietness, and that makes it harder to make ...
