There are several things I know I could live without. Heck, I would venture to say there are some things I even “Say” I could live without. However, I also know I’ll miss certain items as soon as I discard something.

Take my smartphone, for example. I hate how addicted I find myself to it. I’m not too fond of the fact that we all have this feeling of missing out if we’re not all connected. But could I live without it? Sure, as long as everyone else is as well. It could be FOMO or something else. Does it matter?

But let’s get more practical. Let’s stay away from things like social media and smartphones. We all say we don’t want to be connected to them, but is that the truth? Could we live without them?

Here are my three objects/items I couldn’t live without.

One: I couldn’t live without books. I love books. I love reading. It’s always been my favorite hobby and pastime. If I couldn’t have a book, I would most likely go a little crazy.

Two: I couldn’t live without my coffee maker or some coffee maker. I need a way to make coffee. It doesn’t matter if it’s a french press, Aeropress, or a regular cheap coffee maker. If the apocalypse or WWIII started today, I would have coffee. That would be the first thing I panicked bought.

Three: The most important on this list: A Bible. I try hard every day to wake up and live by faith. I fail most days, as we all do. But God’s word gets me through my failures and sin and strengthens my walk with Him daily.

So there you have it. Three objects I couldn’t live without. What about you? What would be on your list? Let’s say the world started ending today. What are the three items you would grab to be sure to have with you during the apocalypse?

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

I’ve had so many different experiences in life it’s difficult to narrow down and say “this one made me grow.”

The daily question: what experiences have helped you grow the most

We all face challenges. We all face difficult circumstances. Yet, why does it need to be the negative that causes us to grow?

Maybe it’s because failure teaches us the most important lessons in life. But the world teaches us that failure is bad, it needs to be avoided, and that if we fail we’re done.

In my life I’ve learned to embrace failure. Not because I want to fail, but because I’ve learned that failure more than anything helps me grow.

My biggest failure was when I failed out of high school. While all my other friends were heading off to college, I was stuck trying to take a couple of correspondence courses just to get my last two credits in order to graduate.

What I learned here is that one failure doesn’t set you on a predetermined course. Failures can often, more times than many, be the thing that pushes you to keep going .

What about you? What experiences have helped you grow in your life?

The Daily Question

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Do you believe in Fate / Destiny? That’s the daily question for today. It sort of requiresone to believe in a predetermined sequence of events.

Do you believe in fate / destiny


To be honest I sort of hate this idea. Yes, I believe in God, and go to church, and believe He has a plan for my life. But I think I have the freedom to choose to go a different direction. He knows what I’ll choose too.

So, yes, no, it’s tough to answer. On one hand I want to say no. On the other hand my faith persuades me to say yes.

The important thing to remember is to always live your story. We get in this bad habit of letting the world define us. We let the world tell who we are, how we should live, and what we should do.

Regardless, if we believe in fate, destiny, or whatever, we must remember to live life as the hero of our own stories.

That means being the best version of ourselves for everyone
