Heart's Light and Answered Prayers
When I close my eyes, you are there. I think back to my prayer...my prayer for my heart's desire. For years, I have prayed for the one that would love me as much as I loved him. He wouldn't just say I love you, he'd show me daily. He would cover me as God intended, supporting my dreams as I support his. As time marched on, I'd wait on my prayer to be realized. I knew God was preparing me for the one; my king. I didn't know how or when it would happen, but knew that it would. Jesus promised he'd take care of me. When I finally let go of the things preventing me from having my dreams realized, my prayers answered, I closed that door and mourned what once was. Then, just as the sun rises on a new day, God opened a door I never knew existed to reveal the light and new love that now fills my heart. Little did I know, you had prayed for me too. It was hard for me to believe you’d pray for someone like me, but I am oh so glad you did. He prepared us through circumstances we didn’t and still don’t understand. Circumstances that have been difficult, scary, and emotionally draining. We made it through every situation feeling weakened at first, only to realize how much stronger we were for the experience. There is a saying, “That which doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger.” We are witnesses that can now testify to the truth of that saying. We made it to the other side.

What's a Finsta?
In addition to their drug, it seems that every generation has their social media of choice. For millenials and Gen Z kids, Instagram is among the most popular app for smartphones, second only to perhaps Snapchat. One of the appealing factors is that Instagram makes it easy to create more than one account and switch back and forth from the app. This feature was likely designed to make it simple for businesses and marketing directors to reach different audiences while still maintaining a personal social media presence, but now it is being used by teenagers for an interesting new social media trend- the finsta.

Do Not Fall for Love's Promises
It's 6 A.M. here, and normally I'd wake up early to play Call of Duty or something like the nerd that I am, but instead a pain exists in my chest, and hopefully spilling my words on here will remove it. "Nerd" is such a funny word now. It's what she used to call me. "You're such a nerd, Gerard." is what she would say. Then I'd tell her "Well, at least I'm your nerd!" We'd laugh and tell each other we love each other very much.

Coming Out
Hello there? If you're reading this, you should know or do know about this "Coming Out." For all my LGBTQ+ members that are reading this and need advice, you've clicked on the right thing. Now I have a story to tell about a girl who came out as a lesbian. For some of you, you can relate, and to others, you can't because for you it wasn't all peaches and cream for you, I'm all the same bandwagon as you.
