My School Experience

School. The most annoying word to hear on a Monday morning after a great weekend, or any day at that. And just when you think you're free, there's after life to high school...college. What can you do about it you ask, absolutely nothing. Maybe cry alone at night like the rest of us, but other than that, there's NO escape.

    Lets start with the Elementary years. If you were like me, all you cared about were boys, boys, boys, and what you were gonna eat after school. Yes I was a chubby bunny in my Elementary years. I never really worried about my school work yet NEVER failed. Fifth grade was probably the best year I ever had (Elementary wise). The playground was lit, my friends were hilarious, the chicken nuggets in the cafeteria were amazing, and not to mention I was beginning to become less socially awkward. Then came Middle School....

    Drama, drama, drama. You think Elementary drama is bad, there is nothing worse than an 11 year old girl being jealous because her friend is friends with someone else (If that makes sense). I cant imagine what my teacher went through at this time. May her happy soul rest in peace. Seventh grade was absolutely awful. I liked someone WAY older than me. I was loud, obnoxious, bratty, annoying, stupid etc. Girls if you're in middle school and you're like this, chill. Please. There is nothing worse than a little annoying girl lurking around for someone older than her. Just Stop. Eighth grade was no better. My best friend was leaving for early college, and she hated me because of a bunch of rumors/lies that were started. I thought my whole world was crumbling. I thought I was awesome though because in eighth grade you just think you're so old! Then came High School.

    Ninth grade. Basketball, Boyfriend, and Best friend. This was probably my least favorite year in the history of Tatum's school years. At first it was awesome. I had the perfect boyfriend. We thought we were gonna be together forever. My best friend was gonna be my maid of honor and we were gonna have our kids at the same time.  Then along came DRAMA. The rumors were started, and everything was OVER. No more boyfriend, no more best friend, no more anything. I had about 5 friends at the end of the year and they were all guys. Girls were just causing too much drama for me at this time. I ended up being home schooled the next year because of everything that occurred in my ninth grade year. Tenth grade was pretty chill though. No drama. Just me and the books...all day. In  silence. But looking back ,as I am now in my eleventh grade year, I was just a stupid little girl (still am) who didn't care about anyone but SELF. I am encouraging every girl to never be a "me". It was save a lot of trouble and heartbreak in the times to come.Eleventh grade is awesome! I have officially started some college and have the best friends in the world to share it with!

    Hope this helped some "boy crazy" girl to be less worried about the next guy she will be with, and be more focused on school and what you can do to better yourself as a student. Thanks for reading! XOXO, Tatum!

Praise Him With Your Whole Heart

So, this blog is probably gonna be a bit scattered just because this has been on my heart for the past couple of weeks, and I just couldn't find the words to say. But, after pondering on it for a while, and doing some research, I think I can finally sit down and write up a blog for y'all! On my phone I have the "Bible by Tecarta" app, and it notifies each morning with a daily Bible verse. A couple weeks back I woke up to Mark 7:20-23 , and God quickly laid it on my heart to read that whole chapter. So, I did, and wow. It's one of those moments where you know you've been praying for something, and God just finally shows you what to do, or how to fix it. Anyone else know how that feels? When I came to verse 6, I began to cry. It says: "He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrisies, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." I'd recently been praying for God to help...

Dare To Be a Deborah

Hey Y'all! It's been a few weeks since I last blogged, and I am SO SORRY!! With the Holidays rolling around it's been pretty busy. These past few weeks I've been studying about a woman named Deborah from the book of Judges. Some may know who I'm talking about, and some may not. My Pastor has been going through the book of Judges on Wednesday nights, and I absolutely love it! A few weeks ago we got to the story of Deborah and Barak. I had already been thinking about doing a study on a woman in the Bible, and then God told me she was my woman! So, I read, studied, and researched, and now I'm gonna share with y'all what God gave me.      If you know anything about the book of Judges, you know it's all about Israel's  up and down life of serving the Lord. One day they wanted to do right, and the next they were right back to sinning. So, God raised up these Judges to lead them. In chapter 4, God raises up a woman Judge named Deborah. Just like always, I...

How to Be Spiritually Minded in a World Where it Seems Impossible

I made a post on Instagram recently telling everyone I've been going through the books of Romans and Daniel. Digging deeper into both of them has been SO much fun, but today I want to focus on chapter 8 of Romans. First off I want to say it is NOT hard if you really want it. Having the mindset to serve Christ is so much easier when you really strive to do what's right in God's eyes. So, that being said, how do we stay spiritually minded in a World where it seems "IMPOSSIBLE"? I'm gonna give a list of some things that I KNOW (from experience) ruin our minds, and make us want to live in ways we shouldn't want to.  1. MUSIC      Boy, has this ruined me MANY times! It seems like music is that one HUGE problem most youth have. And yes, people call "my kind of people" crazy for our view on what music you should listen to, but it really does matter!! Take King Saul for example. 1 Samuel 16:23 says " And it came to pass, when the  evil  spirit ...
