About


Well hello there!

I am a college freshman in a small, coastal, Virginia town that is famous for pigs. Yes seriously. We are the home of Smithfield Foods, the company responsible for the majority of the ham products in the United States, so there are pigs everywhere. Even my high school’s mascot is a pig. So basically, I’m just like every other small-town eighteen-year-old girl, except I’m surrounded by a lot more bacon and Jesus plays a really big role in my life.

My life has been action-packed with all kinds of struggles since I got serious about my faith around the summer before my freshman year of high school. I’ve heard people say that being a Christian makes your life easy, but I am here to declare that a myth and instead vouch for the fact that it actually gets very, very hard. The good news is I can testify that Jesus does not leave when it gets messy, and for the fact that the other christian girls in your life will be major inspirations in helping you through those times.

That’s what led me here.

I had a dream to start a blog where christian girls could talk about real issues and help each other through those messy times, and through the everyday struggles that come with the job. I thought starting a blog would be something I did when I got older and actually knew what I was talking about, but then I realized that you don’t have to be a professional Christian to impact someone’s life. All you have to do is share about what God has done in your life and what He is teaching you.

So here we are! It’s been a wild ride, and I wanna talk about it.

Best wishes,
Becca

Why Your Best Friends Need to be Jesus Girls

Image
by Rebecca Kiser I’m not talking about every single person you ever hang out with, or even all of your friends; I actually think a lot of those people need to be non-christians. No, I’m talking about your absolute closest friends. The ones whose houses are your second homes, the ones that have to be the first to know about every event in your life, the “Call me, I’ll be there,” kind of friends. Every Jesus girl needs these people to be other Jesus girls. First of all, there is a difference between a christian girl and a Jesus girl. Just because they are Christians and go to church and all that good stuff does not mean they are the Jesus girls who we’re talking about here. Jesus girls are the ones who are actively pursuing God and the life He has for them. They are the ones who are legit about their faith and let it be the guiding factor in their lives. The most important friends in your life have to be Jesus girls, and here’s why: Who you hang around influences your cha...

Testimony of Broken Pottery

Image
by Rebecca Kiser In Japan, it is common practice for a potter to repair a broken piece of pottery with resin made of gold. These items are worth more than the originals, indirectly, because they have been broken. It is a special form of art that is meant to utilize and glorify the cracks, missing shards, and imperfections of the pottery. This ancient practice is known as Kintsugi or “golden repair”, and its pieces can be found all over the world in prestigious art museums, and are considered priceless. I find this really interesting not only because of the symbolism of something being more valuable because it’s been broken, but because of the potter. The first one to do this saw potential, worth, in shards of broken pottery sprawled lifelessly across the dirt-ridden ground.  When anyone else would have swept up the pieces and thrown them out with the rest of the trash, this potter took care to meticulously gather up every last bit. He invested time, love, and valuable re...

To Scroll or Not to Scroll?

By Rebecca Kiser Honorable Mention: Abagail Conyers Social media is a huge part of our culture. For many of us, it’s the first thing we see in the morning and the last thing we see at night. It’s how we keep in touch with hundreds of  “friends,” share our opinions, and sometimes even receive national news. Although it’s role in our lives varies between generations, it’s safe to say most of us are more reliant on social media than we ought to be. The average adult spends around two hours a day on various social media outlets, while it’s a whopping nine hours a day for most teenagers. These statistics ignited a question for me: What happens if we take away social media? Cold turkey. Just there one day and gone the next. I figured this, like all crazy ideas, would be best executed alongside my best friend, so I enlisted Abby to join me in a 21 day social media fast. Here’s what happened: So… Why? Before we dive in, you have to understand the underlying motives that...
