We are all carrying a picture of ourselves - it's pre-painted based on our statuses in life or on how far our experiences have taken us. For Avelina, the heroine in The Beautiful Pretender, it's the former as her father was a former stable master and she worked as a maidservant. For Lord Thornbeck, it's inheriting the margravate and having a slight handicap. These pictures they carried have a strong impact on the way they see themselves. It also affects their decisions and the future they … [Read more...]
The Hearts We Mend by Kathryn Springer, Cymplified!
Mothers have specific seasons in their lives. In my life, it's the season of school-aged children, whom I am continually teaching, molding, guiding and lifting up to the Lord in prayer.

It would be great to watch pirate shows, ride exciting rides and look at sea animals in their natural habitats. Many kids, like my own, love animals. It's always fun for us to visit zoos and water parks. A Dolphin Wish was for children who love animals and have the hearts to see them safe. Mia, the eldest of the Glimmer kids, was just that. She especially liked … [Read more...]
Today Is My Day, Cymplified!
Today is my day. by Ceemee Today, I will look in the mirror and smile. I will smile at my pores, my wrinkles, my lines - my flaws! I will also cry when I feel like it. Today, I will dance when I hear upbeat music come on. I will enjoy every wiggle and every waggle of my body. I will also sit still and simply stare into space.

Family Getaway: Jeju Island Trip Preparation, Cymplified!
I was looking forward to this trip. I also was not. One thing I was sure of is that there must be a Jeju Island trip preparation for our family.

It was our first time to travel internationally together. It was our first time to set foot on Korea. It was our first time to experience Spring. It was our first time to see Cherry Blossoms in … [Read more...]
