A lesson I’ll never forget

My best memory from last year

January 21, 2021

Kristen skiing

Oh boy, this feels like a hard prompt for the moment. 2020 was not a year filled with a whole bunch of delightful times for me. (Or honestly for an awful lot of the world!) Of course, there were good moments, but they were mixed in with a lot of not-great times. I think maybe…

An accomplishment I’m proud of

January 20, 2021

Mac laptop

This prompt makes me feel a little odd because I know that when I am able to accomplish something, it is because of the grace, gifts, and opportunities that God has given me. So, it feels a little bit strange to be proud of my accomplishments. Gratefulness seems more appropriate. Maybe I’ll edit and ask…

A chance I took and have never regretted

Tuxedo Cat

I’ll preface by saying that this is not a big chance. And most people probably wouldn’t even see it as taking a chance! But for me, it was. The chance in question: getting a cat. I did not grow up in a house with animals, aside from a few fish, and a hamster who was…

A lesson I’ll never forget

I’ll share a lesson that blogging has taught me. I knew about this concept before I started blogging, but blogging really brought it home for me. It’s this: A soft answer turns away wrath. It’s from a biblical proverb, of course: “A harsh word stirs up anger, but a soft answer turns away wrath.” I…

The hardest area of my life to find balance

January 15, 2021

Oof. I feel like there are oodles of life areas where it is hard, hard, hard to find balance. But the first one that occurred to me is an area that has been a lifelong struggle for me. I have a terrible time figuring out the balance between overlooking irritations/offenses and confronting them. For most…

One thing I want to quit

January 14, 2021

annoyed Kristen

You might laugh at the first thing that came to mind, but here we go. (If you are grossed out by zits, leave now.) So. I want to stop messing with/popping my zits. I don’t even get that many zits, but I have a TERRIBLE TIME leaving them alone. At least, on my skin. I…

I feel reassured when:

January 13, 2021

Snowy River

This is a little hard to answer because it depends on what I am feeling not-assured about! I feel reassured when a fellow Christian reminds me of biblical truths. I feel reassured when someone tells me they love me. I feel reassured when someone who is an expert tells me there’s nothing to worry about/something…

An experience that’s made you a better person

January 12, 2021

Kristen, Joshua, Lisey, and Mr. FG

There are lots of experiences that could fall under this heading, and I think most of them are hard experiences. There’s nothing quite like suffering and difficulty to refine and grow a person, you know? Some of those experiences are too personal to blog about, but I’ll pick two that are appropriate for public consumption!…

What’s Kristen Prompted?

It’s me, writing from a list of daily prompts!

Although I always have a lot going on in my head, those thoughts can tend to stay cooped up in my brain.

But when I’m asked what I think about something, then I feel like I have permission to let some of my thoughts out.

So, this blog is a collection of daily essays, written because the list of daily prompts gave me permission to type. 😉

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words!
