Vapour

   Yet again, here I am. It is well past midnight and instead of sleeping, I am writing because apparently that is what one does when their body will not allow them the blissfulness of sleep.       Still, I can appreciate these late hours of peace. It is in these hours where I truly feel the most myself. There is no need to perform for anyone, no one is constantly seeking my attention, and I can have my thoughts to myself and pray without the outer distractions getting the best of my attention. I wish that I were strong enough to take on the world the same way I do at night. In these quiet hours, I can think and plan, I choose to use these hours to be creative, I choose to use them to devote myself to God. It is so peaceful to have a time during the day (or night as the case may be), one where not a single person ever interrupts you, for you to devote to spending alone time in the word and listening to worship music and speaking to the creator of the univer...

      I totally think that New Year’s resolutions are bunk. At least for myself. If I want to do something or change something in my life why would I wait for the New Year? I will concede though that it is a great time for reflection and with that reflection you may want to make certain changes based on what you find. So, right here, in front of anyone who reads this, I’m going share a few of the things I’ve been convicted about while reflecting on the new year: 20 minutes-it’s not just 20 minutes (or 10 or 5 or 1), it’s time that I can be doing something productive instead of doomscrolling or sitting in front of the TV. My prayer life has got to become more well rounded, it feels like sometimes I do put God in the “I only pray when I need something from you” box and I want a real relationship with Him. Being intentional with the things I do: cultivating hobbies, growing relationships, furthering my career, being a better housemate.  Working on some of my bad qualiti...

 If you, dear reader, have found this blog I can only be mystified at the kind of doomscrolling you’ve gotten yourself into. No matter, I’m glad you’re here.       My name is Mackenzie, and I am starting this in hopes that someone sometime may see this and learn something, or find a new favorite, or be pointed towards The Creator through the admiration of His great creation. There probably wont be a specific topic that you see on this page more than once. I believe that life is a hodgepodge of so many different things that it is a tragedy to your intelligence and complexity as a human being to identify as only one thing. Topics I plan to bring up: movies, music, God and the Bible, daily activities, books, tv shows, crafting, weddings, hobbies, life stories—pretty much anything so  be prepared  for whatever shenanigans may come up here.  If your interest was piqued at the title of my blog, good. The title is Vapour , and yes I know that it is techn...
