Happy Holidays! We're almost done with this year, so I decided to look back at some of my favorite things during 2017. Here is my "Best of 2017!" Favorite Bible Verse: This one isn't a surprise: Galatians 6:9! This verse helped me push forward, and it encouraged me to never give up. No matter where you are in life, you will always need encouragement to carry on, so this is a great verse that can be applied to any season of life. Favorite Music: This year I surprised myself and started listening to rap. Last year I went to Camp Electric, a Christian music camp, and saw NF (a Christian rapper) in concert. I didn't pay much attention to him, but this year he released a new album that peaked at the number one spot on the Billboard 200, and that got my attention. I decided to jump out of my comfort zone, and I'm so glad I did. My favorite album this year was NF's Perception. It was really eye-opening and the lyrics were so meaningful. He talks about burying his fear, and defying society's expectations. If you're looking for something new and thought-provoking, I would definitely suggest you check him out. (FYI- There's a whole backstory that you may want to read up on before you listen to him, otherwise you might not understand what he's talking about in his songs.) Favorite Book: Wonder by R.J. Palacio was not necessarily a Christian book, but it was so moving. When I finished it, I got up to put it back on the shelf, but I just stood there in awe of what I had just read, and said out loud, "That was a really good book!" I have yet to see the movie, but I have high expectations, and we all know the movie will never live up to those expectations. Favorite Movie: I actually only saw this movie yesterday: Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I love Star Wars, so naturally this movie is at the top of my list. And of course, I have to mention Wonder Woman, which was such a beautiful film. So there you have it! What were your favorite things about 2017? Let me know in the comments below! Have a happy 2018 as well :)
