About

Hey! I'm Abby Elissa!

First off, let me say how much I dislike writing things about myself like this...but here goes nothing (and how hard can a list be?).

• Jesus is everything I need.
• I'm a teenaged girl and I've been homeschooled my whole life.
• I've been dreaming up stories for nearly as long as I can remember, though they've - thankfully - grown in depth since those first ones...
• I read a whole lot of genres and I can't honestly say I have a favorite.
• I'm a nerd in many different ways - grammar (expect me to correct your mistakes or to cringe if you leave out the Oxford comma 😁), math, history, science, literature, and useless facts. And I even have nerd glasses.
• I started drinking coffee earlier this year, and now I have strong opinions on it. I drink it hot and black. Like John Wayne.
• I spend way too much time stressing over font choices...so many options, but only one will be perfect!
• I love graphic design! I've made a few book covers for friends, and I make graphics for our church regularly.
• Whoever said not to judge a book by its cover better have been talking symbolically. I judge nearly every book by its cover, and I'm not ashamed of that. 😁
• I'm a perfectionist all the way! And I'm proud of it.
• I'm an INTJ, but, no, that doesn't mean that I lack emotions or that I actually plot ways to take over the world. 😂 (Used to think I was an INFJ, then realized that I was typed wrong, and . . . it's a long story.)
• I love all kinds of animals, especially horses. And lizards. Lizards are just amazing. Especially Komodo Dragons.
• I love the first-person POV - a story told in first-person has an automatic advantage in my mind.
• I overuse ellipses...and the word "y'all" (and parentheses).

I'm glad to meet y'all! What do we have in common? What's completely different about us?

    Nice to learn more about you, though I knew most of this already. :-) You ought to ask Mrs. Marlow if she'll put your blog on her sidebar, that away more people can find your blog.

7 Days of Hope Blog Tour - My Post!

 Hey, y'all!  I hope you've enjoyed this blog tour so far! These girls' posts are so beautiful and hopeful! I didn't realize how inspiring it would be to see so many people sharing what hope is to them!     Well - now it's my turn! Here goes!     Since I was little, my favorite Bible verse has been Isaiah 43:1.     (Feel free to download this image and the one below! You can use them as phone wallpapers - that's what I plan on doing with them!)     The wonderful, encouraging verse that comes right after this one, about God being with you through deep waters, seems to be quoted a lot more. But that wasn't the verse that I clung to for years. It was this one. Where God said that He had called me by name .    What hope could ever be greater than knowing that the God of the universe has called you by name?      When I think of hope and beauty and wonder...     O ne of my favorite classic heroines comes to mind - Anne Shirley. W hile I was looking for an Anne of

Songs that Got Me Through

Well, here I am with the music post that I'd mentioned! These are songs that have helped me through tough times. I usually don't "keep" songs like this for more than a few months, just because circumstances change, and thus what I look for in a "survival song" changes. So I've developed quite a collection over this years, and this isn't a full list. :D (Now, don't think that this, by any means, represents my full spectrum of unique musical tastes. But this is a little sampling. XD Proceed with caution. All songs are perfectly clean and nearly all could be classified as Christian. But that leaves a lot of room for my love of multiple genres. XD) All This Time - Britt Nicole I don't even know how old I was when I fell in love with this song. I also don't know why I fell in love with it. XD But it's beautiful, and I still listen to it once in a while today. <3 All this time, from the first tear cry, To today's sunrise, and every s

2021: My Word of the Year

  Welcome to 2021!! I could go into the long, well-researched ramble I had started about New Year's resolutions (the statistics on those are interesting!). Or I could list out some of my goals for 2021. But, I'm not going to do either of those. Instead, I'm here for a short post: my word of the year. I don't know how exactly y'all took this word - but I don't mean trust other people. I don't mean trust myself. I sure don't mean trust everything I hear. I mean trust God .  I mean that I want to learn how to trust God with everything in me. To not worry when everyone else is worrying. To not turn away when everyone else is turning away. To not stay silent when everyone else is staying silent. To not back down when everyone else is backing down. To not be afraid when everyone else is afraid. And so, this year, I hope you'll join me. Joining me in trusting God. With everything. 💙 Love, Do you have a 2021 Word of the Year?
