Molly's Zone

Life has a way of bringing us through the most interesting and powerful experiences that serve to teach us the most invaluable lessons that perhaps we didn't know we needed to learn; at the end of it all though we know that experiencing such a time sharpens our faith and awareness of the darkness devouring this world and its inhabitants. A recent season of my own journey awakened such a realization as this in my soul. A soul is a highly impressionable; humans these days seem to latch onto whatever is acceptable in the world and I've noticed this especially among the youth of today.We pay mind to Satan's carefully crafted lie that who we are or what we are doing for Christ is not enough. We always want to do whatever we think will make us happy; not realizing that the life God gave us is priceless and precious; that He is enough for us; that the smallest of a life is a blessing. We forget to have appreciation for what we do have. We start to feel as if nothing is enough f...

One hundred blogs. I can't tell you the days I have spent waiting for that number to appear beside the label of published posts. Life sure has been a wild, wonderful, and interesting journey during these past three years of blogging! I have more coming for you all either tomorrow or early next week. I haven't spent time deeply working on  blog material right now, as I am just enjoying being home and all cozy. However, I have been working on some fiction. A fun, side project. I cannot believe it's November. I have a couple topics in mind for the coming weeks, so be on the lookout for them! I haven't got that many words swirling in my head today, but I do want to say a huge thank you to all of my readers for supporting me through all of my adventures. I am so thankful for Jesus who gave me the platform to begin with; I wouldn't be traveling the road of life that I am on if it weren't for Him. I am thankful for the blessings and gifts He gave me. Happy 100th...

Life continues to be my most thorough of teachers; at 26 years old, I have traveled down unimagined paths and have grown immensely through the numbers of lessons that have been revealed to me. I have experienced meltdowns of a sort, and have always risen from them a better human being. The most valuable lesson that I feel God has been trying to push through my stubborn,  yet soft spoken head is to speak my mind whenever I feel there is a need. I think He has finally gotten through to me, as I have started to branch out of my shell a little more than I used to. I have been dabbling with sharing my honest thoughts; I have a sense of empowerment from seeing them being noticed and seeing that no one thinks any less of me. Always do whatever you can to help yourself have that peace of mind; don't let Satan and his tool of anxiety and fear stop you from enjoying your life. I know he attempted to stop me from writing regularly and I gave in for a while, but I am once again back at i...

We live in a world so greatly polluted by the misuse of labels that it has become a painfully rare occurrence to stumble upon someone who simply identifies as a man or a woman. The saddest realization I’ve come to have is that not only do people place labels on others unfairly, but people among the  disability  community also sometimes unhealthily label themselves. Society passively encourages its inhabitants to believe and trust that all they are or have the potential to be is determined by which disability or health condition they might possess. We as people have been deceived by the notion that acceptance means carrying the label; what happened to living as just a human being? I detest labels and I would like to delve into three of the main reasons why I believe no one should use any label for any reason. I’ve seen this madness play out daily on my social media feeds, in the news, and everywhere else. People are being labeled for anything in the world and I want the n...

Faith is a HUGE component of living to the fullest extent for Christ. Sometimes, we as humans get in the habit of talking about how much faith we have, but do we really hold onto it tight enough? Do we pray enough? Do we thank the Lord enough for all that we have? Most importantly, are we considering Him in every choice we choose? I think we can all say there are times we stumble. But you know what? He still loves us unconditionally and that is something I'm thankful for. I have come to know that when I don't lean on Him enough, my life can quickly seem like it's spiraling out of control. My life story theme seems to be the one of craving acceptance; I don't know exactly why. Logically, I know He's enough, but somewhere there's always this little voice that says I'm not enough and I'm not worthy of anything. Satan loves to try to persuade us that what we think of ourselves, or what others opinions of us are carry so much more importance than what Go...

The past year has served as an unexpected opportunity for personal growth in my life. The serious journey of discovering my self worth in Christ has always been something I've never fully committed to, until now. I've mainly focused on my desire to "fit in" somewhere and never fully being invested in the joy of just living comfortably as who I am. I think we all as humans can say this battle resides in our lives in some form. But, I know it has been especially prevalent in my life. I'm horrible about doing what I want to do, instead of following what Christ wants me to do. He loves all of us, so why is it we sometimes try to be something we're not? The anxiety and built up tension I felt from living that way has surely negatively affected my soul, and it is time that I take back control. These are thoughts I have had and in writing them down, I decided to flip the perspective around and use them to help someone else who might be struggling with the same thin...

September 1st saw the arrival of the 3rd birthday of my most precious blessing that is my blog, Molly's Zone. The passage of time and its speed grow remarkably fast as one grows older; it is hard to fathom that I am right on the brink of hitting the 100th blog post milestone. Craziness! The lessons of life and the countless stories we grow to possess as we walk with the Lord are truly amazing; the joys and the unexpected blessings we receive due to answered prayers are nothing short of incredible. Molly's Zone is a special treasure for me; its not just a blog, but an integral part of my testimony of faith. The most riveting part of my life story. One of the greatest examples of God working in my life that I had the pleasure of experiencing.  I've lived and evolved so very much in the span of just three years--I've seen the world and have come to know no greater everlasting joy than that of serving my Lord and Savior. No lasting joy lies within the darkness and evi...
