About

Hello There!

I’m Bethany. I’m a young adult woman entering my second year of college. I’m a Jesus-follower and Jesus-lover. I’m a former homeschooler, the oldest of five children, and a Southern Californian to the core.

I’m currently attending a very small Bible college about 45 minutes away from home. My plans for the future? Graduate…eventually. I’m in school for the learning, not for the degree, so I’m in no rush to get out. Missions. Maybe a family.

I also work at my local Chick-fil-a, where I hold a position in the lowest level of leadership. It is fun, challenging, sometimes stressful and occasionally emotional. Overall, I love my coworkers and I love my job.

In what free time I have, I like to read (biographies, historical fiction, and some crime novels), play the piano (I took lessons for 7+ years), hang out with friends (both old and new), and create greeting cards for my etsy shop (you can find a link on the sidebar). Oh yeah, and a blog post occasionally. Which is why you are here now, isn’t it?

I started blogging in 2017. At first, I didn’t have a goal. I’ve always loved to write, and so I wanted to do just that. Then I started sharing things from my life. For a while I reviewed books. I shared photographs. I wrote about what was going on in school and the family. I did a smattering of different topics. There are still some old posts hanging around on this blog from the days of trying to find a purpose. 

When I started studying the Bible in school, my focus for the blog shifted. I want to share what I am learning in school, in my personal Bible study time, and in thinking and talking with friends and family. Oh sure, I still write some stuff for fun. A short story or two, tales from work, some recent photography. But the main purpose of my blog (now) is to share what I’ve been learning from the Lord. And hopefully encourage my readers in the process. 

It is my hope and prayer that readers of my blog will laugh a little, be challenged in their thinking, encouraged in their walk, and that perhaps my posts will play a small part in your sanctification process. I hope you will stick around!
