Good Christian Girl, Stop Finding Worth in Your Goodness

I’m her. I’m the good girl. The girl who was born into a Christian home. The girl who memorized John 3:16 as soon as she could speak. The girl who never went through a rebellious stage. The girl who never had a boyfriend in high school and never dated around. Yep, that’s me. The good […]
