Happy Easter, all!!

Out of the (many) holidays we celebrate here in America, I really do think this is my favorite one. It's such a beautiful reminder of both the weight of my sin and the insane grace and love that Jesus has displayed to me. And not just to me, but to everyone; for God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son! (John 3:16) He loves everyone so much and wants a relationship with each and every one of us, regardless of what we've done or where we are or how we view Him. I think that's such a wonderful thing; I've found I can never be reminded of it enough.

I know holidays like this may not be the easiest for everyone, what with family stuff, mental health, and all the chaos of life. I'm praying y'all are able to experience joy and peace today regardless, that things go better than you think they will and you see Jesus moving in places you would never expect to. He loves you so much, even when pain makes that hard to believe 💜

God bless y'all!

#NewBeginnings It's been a hectic past year, but we made it through! This coming year, I want to continue to work on my relationship with Jesus and on becoming a more loving and present friend in the lives of those around me. The good news is, I don't have to do either alone and the latter ought to result from the former. God bless y'all, and here's to 2025!

Oh, Ralsei is going to lose her ever-loving MIND when she sees the news post. Not because she loves the event or anything, though she very well might, idk, but because of, well… you’ll see. I expect a very capslocked post from her pretty soon.

Little reminder that Jesus loves y'all, no matter what <3 Even if life's really rough sometimes, He's still there for you; He cares about what you're going through. Regardless of whatever mistakes or choices you make or beliefs you hold, He loves you-- He's always got time to chat and wants to hear about your struggles and worries.

Been a bit dead on this site recently, but wanted to pop in and say hey! Praying for you all, love you guys <3

Happy Easter!!!
Dayenu is such a cool word, I just discovered it; in Hebrew and Yiddish it means, "It would have been enough." Dayenu, it would have been enough, that Jesus died and rose again to save us from our sins if we ask Him to. But He went even further; He loves us, heals us, and wants a personal relationship with each and every one of us, no matter who you are, where you're at, or what people say. I find that so amazing!
Love y'all, hope you have a wonderful day today whether you celebrate or not; Jesus loves you!

Merry Christmas, Pokeheroes!!! Crazy that it's already been another whole year. Praying that everyone has a wonderful day today, regardless of whether you celebrate or not, and that family situations, whatever they may be, are less stressful than you may expect. Love y'all so much; God bless ❤️💚🤍

#NewBeginnings This coming year's going to bring a lot of change for my family and I, but my goal going in to it is to draw near to God and live my life in a way that honors Him, regardless of what might come along with these new experiences. I'm looking forwards to the opportunities ahead and am excited to see where this year takes me!

Oh, wow, I forgot this was coming up!! This has been such a wonderful journey these past few years, and it's been so cool to meet so many of you all. Looking forwards to the years to come!

I would like to suggest a new Olympic sport. I genuinely think this could be the hit of the century. May I introduce:

Paintball with boba pearls.

Happy National Pi Day, PH!!!!! One of my absolute favorite holidays.

Happy Birthday, RainRipple!
I wish you health and much happiness for the future!
Are you having a party with your friends today? Or are you spending your day at the Emera beach?
Whatever it is, I hope you have a very nice birthday!

Another day, another year. Every birthday is special to me, because each one marks one more year I never thought I'd have. Four years ago, I decided I would never have another birthday and tried to take my own life; turns out, God had other plans for me. It's been an interesting year this time around, but I'm grateful for every moment of it and for the amazing pillar of support that my wonderful best friend has been for me; she's been such a precious blessing through all of the highs and lows. I love you, Rals, and thank you for everything <3

Merry Christmas, PokeHeroes!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, regardless of what/if you celebrate! <3

As for me, this is one of my absolute favorite holidays (alongside Easter), and I'm very grateful for my family and for the chance to be together with them as we are reminded of what Jesus did for us.

Cheers, everyone; have a happy holiday, break out the cabin socks, and make sure to enjoy some cookies and cocoa!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COFFEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Y'all, go send all the love and gifts and well-wishes you can muster to the wonderful coffeecup. She's such a wonderful friend (and an immensely talented writer) and I'm so beyond grateful to know her <3

So a ceiling tile fell during my first class today and then the room started to flood.

…Yep.

Oh!! I forgot this was coming up!
It’s been an amazing two years, and I’m so very glad to have met everyone. This is such a fun site, and God has used it in really great ways in my life. Without it, I never would have gotten to meet so many lovely people, including Ralsei, my wonderful, kind, goofy best friend! I will always deeply value all the new friends and opportunities to improve my writing that PokeHeroes has provided for me. Thank you, everyone, for an outstanding experience!
Here’s to another great year ahead!!

The sweetest family at my work just offered me a whole sub for dinner. I had to say no due to my diet, but it meant more than they can possibly know to me that they’d be so kind to a total stranger.
Be kind to your customer service workers. You don’t even have to feed them :P Just a couple kind words can completely make someone’s day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Ralsei, THE BEST FRIEND I COULD EVER ASK FOR!
I'm so glad she's been brought into my life; she's such a blessing, and I'm beyond honored to know her. Make sure to send her all the love and birthday wishes you can manage!!

Confession: When I take vitamins and supplements, I totally wing it. I don't recall any specific ones that I'm supposed to take, I just know that my eating habits definitely leave my body in need of many of them, so every morning I take a look through our vitamin cabinet and select a couple that I know I do need. "Magnesium, yes, iron, yep, zinc, mhm. Huh, melatonin... I know I've heard of that one before. Might as well!"

On an unrelated note, for some reason, I never seem able to stay awake through the day.

My little brother just came over to me and said, “There’s a playground over there, but it’s kind of sad. There’s no safety hazards. It’s just kind of boring, you can’t hurt yourself.”

So if anyone on this site who knows me was wondering, I think my tendency towards recklessness and proclivity for injuring myself while attempting to do a flip is genetic.

Well, I learned a very valuable lesson today. When wearing a racerback shirt outdoors for eight hours, sunscreen is advisable. I have many regrets.
