Buddhism is the fourth-largest world religion. Buddhism can be summarized by its "three jewels:" the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.

This work was inspired by both an admiration for the beauty & agility of dragonflies, as well as a deep introspective dive into the nature of the passage of time. Both notions coming together for me while on a solo camping trip and during a brilliant sunset. This is Version #1 of 2. The 2nd is underway and will be posted here asap. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this work.

this is a really short poem but i just wanted to share it somewhere so i set all this up to share a single poem but i will probably write more!

This was written on a day where I was feeling the heat, where I was feeling the pull of another life.

Pain isn't just physical; it has profound emotional and psychological dimensions. Fear, anxiety, sadness, and anger can amplify pain, while comfort, distraction, and a sense of control can diminish it. It can isolate us, making us withdraw from activities and social connections, or it can be a shared experience that fosters empathy and understanding.

welcome i made this space for quiet things — poems that breathe, stories that ache a little, words that don’t need to shout to be heard. if you found this, you were meant to. 🤍

A dear friend of mine gifted me a beautiful short book, 'An Archangels Prophecy', and I have done some reflections on a few quotes that spoke to me- I hope it speaks to you too :) Thank you to my friend, too, incredibly thoughtful gift that warmed my heart.

It is cold, there must be something that way for us to savor. There's a nearby companion, let him figure it out.

This October, I’m choosing faith over fear, and light over darkness. In my newest post, I open up about why I no longer celebrate Halloween — and how that decision has strengthened my walk with God. 🍂💛 It’s not about judgment — it’s about conviction, peace, and standing firm in what’s right.

Through My Own Eyes is a personal journey of growing up too fast, learning to survive, and trying to find peace in the process. At 21, I’m reflecting on the mix of trauma, growth, love, and responsibility that shaped me — from childhood memories to life in the military and everything in between. This blog is my way of slowing down, sharing my thoughts, and reminding others — and myself — that none of us are alone in trying to figure life out.

Jesus Christ is real, Jesus Christ is real, Jesus Christ is real... and we don't currently know that.

Welcome to my stream , This is my frist stream. My name is LizzieMae, I love God,animals, music , and food .

This piece is my story. It’s the weight I’ve carried, the scars I’ve hidden, and the pain I’ve had to turn into something bigger than myself. It’s about survival, heartbreak, and learning how to rise when everything in me wanted to stay down. But it’s not just mine—it belongs to anyone who’s ever been broken and still fought to stand back up. I call it “Ashes Into Anthem.”

This essay is born from a deep pastoral and apologetic conviction: that the authority of God's Word isn't just a doctrinal principle, but the vital axis that sustains the church's identity, mission, and unity. As a scholar committed to theological formation and the edification of leaders in my community, I've observed that the most persistent attacks against the evangelical faith don't come from secular skepticism, but from within the church itself—from erroneous interpretations, diluted doctrines, and a growing disconnect between Scripture and life.

A catch phrase loses it's effectiveness when the nature of it contradicts the name of it. What I mean by that is, when you use a catch phrase like "make America great again" and turn around and segragate or cause division. It doesn't hold any weight. America is AKA the United States of America. Doesn't that set some form importance on United, like maybe it's the foundation of the whole thing. If we are making America great again, aren't we now heading in the wrong direction . Do you remember why people wanted to escape England ? , to escape oppression; freedom of religion. We were all foreigners in search of a place we could settle our families and have a voice. Why are we throwing it all away, Can't we learn from history, so we aren't doomed to repeat it. This isn't about being left or right, this is about finding a middle ground. Accepting each other's differences. You don't have to agree, but respect is absolutely necessary. United we stand; divided we fall.

Hi! How are you feeling today? I hope you are feeling well, this is a note that shares a little bit about me as a person! I hope you enjoy!

If you're waiting for the perfect condition to take on ministry. You'll never do it because there is no such thing as the ideal time. However, the risk of not pursuing your destiny is not just stagnation. Self-sabotage is a weapon that operates out of fear of failure and feelings of overwhelm. You've got to learn as you go and stop worrying about acceptance . Your life and what you already know are enough to get started. There is somebody assigned to your path who won't know salvation if you don't go by faith in God and not by sight .

When anxiety strikes, peace can feel out of reach. This simple 3-step grounding prayer helps calm your breath, steady your spirit, and remind you that you are safe and supported.
