It's Christmas Time (2016)

Hello again! I'm actually posting on the usual day today! Yay! Christmas time is such an enjoyable time of year. I ended up posting last week's blog two days ago because I have a hard time resisting the lure of cold temperatures and Christmas movies. This Christmas is special because it's Mom and I's first Christmas in the new house. We had a lot of fun being a bit more decorative this year. I can't wait to spend Christmas Eve with my family; it's always super fun.  I've been watching a lot of Christmas movies and enjoying life in general. 2016 has been a very blessed year. I have so many hopes for 2017. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! I appreciate the support & prayers for Molly's Zone and my life in general so so much! I know that I am called to be a writer. I've enjoyed this so much. I can't wait to see what else God has in store for me. I will be taking a three week break; I'm looking forward to...

How to Overcome "PTSD"

I'm a part of the most reckless, irresponsible, self glorifying, blame shifting generations in all of history. We are a kind of people that so often chooses to base our emotional stability and our confidence on the amount of attention we get on either Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Some people treat social media as a personal diary. We share so much with others the very things that we could be sharing with God. We are a generation that focuses on fulfilling our needs through the people around us instead of letting Christ fulfill our very needs and wants. He can do so much through us to reach other people who may be lost, but there are so many of us who don't allow Him in as much as we should. Why am I writing about this? One, I felt led to because of prayer about my writing, and two because this very struggle is something I have fought with my entire life. I'm almost 25, I've been saved for going on 13 years. It's not easy. Completely living for Christ is one of ...

Are You Sealed?

Writer's block is always frustrating for me. The past week or so, I'd been praying about what to write on next, and I'd asked for prayers several times. I usually like to keep up with the weekly routine of posts, but for awhile I've been slacking just because I felt that I didn't want to write about myself.  I felt I needed to spend some time glorifying God. I couldn't come up with any topics.  "Molly's Zone" wouldn't have even been part of my path if it wasn't for His  continuous mercy and intervention on my life, after all. I don't deserve any praise; the Lord deserves every bit of glory. For I am just a sinner saved by grace. The way He answered my prayers and the prayers of those who prayed for me just wows me. A topic I never would have considered, but I thank the Lord for putting it on my mother's heart and I thank Him for having her share it with me.   Saturday night, my mom gave my office a fresh paint job. I love ...
