God's Embrace


     Have you ever felt empty? Like there was something you needed? Like you needed to be held? Us girls have the need to be held. We love the feeling of someone's arms around us, holding us tight and keeping us safe from harm. Often when we're hurting, we wish someone was there to tell us it's okay, and to love us. As we get older, we feel we need a boyfriend to fulfill this task. We think that if only we had a boyfriend, all our troubles would be fixed. He'd hold us, and love us, and keep us safe from harm. But the truth is, he won't fix us. We will still feel empty. Only God can fill that hole inside of us. Music artist, Plumb, said in one of her songs, "There's a God-shaped hole in all of us, and it's a void only He can fill." Jesus wants to fill the hole inside of us, but we need to let Him. Next time you're feeling alone and empty, ask God to hold you. Let Him embrace you! I promise you'll feel fulfilled, and you won't be empty anymore.

The Fishtail Braid



     I love to do things with my hair. I have long hair that reaches the middle of my back. It's straight, blonde, thin, and really slippery. It's hard to find hairstyles that actually stay in the entire day, but, I have found one braid that works really well for my hair, and I've noticed it works in almost everyone's! I have gotten lots of compliments on it, and it looks rather complicated, but it's actually really easy once you know what you're doing. So, here it is, the fishtail braid. My friend and I made this tutorial together, and I hope you like it!

Love,
Grace <3


P.S. Sorry for the creepy moving hockey stick in the background- that was my friend's brother. :)
