Glass Half Empty --> An Official Update!

-
2025 has been flying by! One moment I'm posting consistently over the summer, and the next thing I know it's November and I've spent the last three months struggling to stay afloat at work... 😫 I hope those who are reading this find themselves well. How has the end of 2025 been for you? I know we are all just trying to stay motivated during such chaotic times. Thankfully, I've been able to dig my heels into major revisions and edits of Glass Half Empty. I've absolutely fallen in love with how the plot is now and have begun to eagerly share my work on Wattpad. You can find my profile @forloveandfaith. As an author, I'm excited to finally share the work I've dedicated my time, heart, and emotions to. It truly means so much to me. Below you can find chapter 1, and don't forget to check out my Wattpad for weekly updates!  ____________________________________ Chapter 1 - Emilia “Memories whisper like leaves in the breeze.” My breathing is heavy as I run thro...

Cheers to the 7th month of the year! I'm thankful for the past two weeks, and thankful to you all for your patience. I've quite enjoyed the time with my family <3 But routines are for a reason, so here's to the week ahead, and to keeping the goals we set for ourselves!

This past Friday was a family pool day, and yesterday.... well, that was yesterday 😅 To those of you who are reading this, thank you.  Thank you for taking the time to invest in this Testimony page. The next post will be my personal testimony.  Before I can share others' testimony with their faith in Christ (with permission, of course), I would like to share mine, with God's Blessing. Every single person will face trials and tribulations. We were created  with free will to determine how we'll navigate the road ahead and with whom. Whether that's weathering th...

To Gain You Have to Lose

-
Do you believe that you have to lose to gain? Do you have to give up something to get something in return? Life is a continuous cycle of "give and take". I believe that is true in all things.  In adulthood, you have to give up the childhood feeling of invincibility to function as a safe and well-established adult in life.  In marriage, you have to develop your sense of individuality to incorporate the choices and decisions of your lifelong partner. And no, I don't mean giving up your entire  identity. You have to form it to include the family you have chosen to start a new life with. It's a life with another person. Every thought and decision can't be just about you. That's a one-way ticket to divorce-town (I've been married for 7 years, I have a leg to stand on regarding this topic). You can still choose to follow your dreams, just don't leave your partner behind, bring them along for the ride! In a job or career, you have to give up this sense of ind...
