FINAL. SUMMER. VOICE. MEMO! 😭Wait no because why do I feel like we just collectively survived a spiritually transformative coming-of-age film together???

Sunkissed + Sanctified | Memo 16 The Power of a Girl Who Knows God
I need everybody to stop acting like “being chill” is the highest form of human achievement 😭 Because why do girls walk into a new school year like:“Hopefully nobody notices I changed.”“Hopefully nobody realizes I actually care about God now.”“Hopefully I can stay spiritually evolved without making anybody uncomfortable.”BABES???You did not spend an entire summer growing, healing, praying, rebuild

Sunkissed + Sanctified | Memo 11 You're Not "Too Young" For God to Use You
