Same Old Me

     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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Being intentional with the things I do: cultivating hobbies, growing relationships, furthering my career, being a better housemate. 
  4. Working on some of my bad qualities (i.e. selfishness, laziness, short temperedness) and not just wishing them away. 
  5. Becoming the kind of person I want to be for my future husband. May sound cliche, but it’s true.  
  6. Seeing the positive even in the bad situations. 
    So there you have it, the list of things that I either already have been working on or am starting to work on based on recent self-reflection. It’s not a long list, many of them seem easy, but for me each of them will be an uphill battle that I have to choose to fight everyday. 

“Fight the good fight of the faith.” - 1 Timothy 6:12 ESV

Introductions

 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...

These Days

Suddenly, the nights smell like hope  The sunshine melts the quiet melancholy from my bones  Almost as if in an apology for its absence It isn’t quite spring  But my heart can sense the change in the air  Kind thoughts come easier  Smiles stay longer These days make life seem brighter, Days are given more possibility  Moments seem clearer, memories seem sharper What a thing sunshine can be.  What a long winter it was,  The sunshine is worth the wait though
