YouTubers I’ve been watching instead of Netflix lately

.Reading time 4 minutes.

This lent, I decided to give up New Girl on Netflix after considering the typical omnivore diet. As tempting as it’s been to turn on Netflix and push aside my plans to take part in the occasion, I’m doing it in hopes of gaining more time with God – whether it gives me more time to […]

.Reading time 6 minutes.

Shoutout to Camila Cabello and Lilo & Stitch for the title reference. I really hope you read it with a rhythm. P.S. “Ohana” means family. And, you know the rest.
