Hey! Pretty random but I had my birthday exactly a month ago, and decided to share the shoot I did for it, on here. And guess what? Every piece of visible clothing you see me putting on, except the blue skirt, in all sets, was a gift. In fact, it wouldn't be a far stretch … Continue reading Gifted ft. Photo Dump

Hey Hephi, Today you were released from Quarantine.

I am reluctant to do a lot of things these days that pertain to spiritual disciplines. The thing is, I'm working through joyful obedience as opposed to faithless obedience, for it is impossible to please God without faith.
