Why Superheroes Don’t Have All Power, But God Does!

June 24, 2017 By beautyinchrist 14 Comments

‘And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.’ (1 Corinthians 2:4-5) For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved one particular aspect of ‘superhero’ stories. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t like all the superheroes. I actually really really do not like the actual ‘comics’, but there are some super hero movies that I do like. Yet, I realized just last night, something big, after watching a superhero episode with my sister.

You see. I would watch these movies, and I would be amazed at how the superheroes could run fast, catch planes in mid air, rescue people from burning buildings, but I had missed something, something big.

Why News Reporting Has Taught Me Hope….

December 3, 2016 By beautyinchrist 8 Comments

News reporting. Ah. The world of news reporters. They can be somewhat despised, right, especially after this year of politics. But I want to share a different element that you may have never thought about before. News reporting has taught me to hope (but maybe not how you think)

I’ve been doing a bit of news reporting for a small Christian newscast for about 2 years now, and it has been hard. Before I got into this, I was a pretty optimistic person, but you could also say that ‘my head was in the clouds.’ I wasn’t realistic about the hardship, the trials, and the pain that others were enduring in the world.

Strawberries n’ Cream Smoothies and More Summer Smoothies!

Disclaimer: I received the product from Crazy Richards, Try About Time, and Blissful Eats in exchange for developing the recipes in this post! All opinion on the products are 100% my own, and I only share products I personally love to eat.

Creamy. That’s my favorite adjective to use for smoothies. That would have to describe each one of these smoothies that are part of this 2nd edition in the ‘Peanut Butter Smoothie Series’ with Crazy Richards, Blissful Eats, and Try About Time. I think I may have found my very favorite protein powder with Try About Time. They did send me it for free, but it has the absolute best texture in smoothies, and it also doesn’t taste overly sweet or artificial. . .

The first smoothie in this series …. would be one of my favorite desserts to have in the summer time. Have you ever bitten into delicious strawberries topped with cream with a slice of angel food cake? Well I didn’t put cake in this smoothie, but I’m humbled by how God’s glory and wonder can be seen in a little strawberry, the vast canyons of Utah, and the stars above. And when we see those things, that doesn’t even give us a millionth of a taste of the infinite glory of God!

Strawberries… It is a beautiful fruit. this year we probably ate the most strawberries we’ve ever eaten in the S. household. I’m not complaining about that at all; it’s been an amazing year for summer fruit.
