The Hills Are Alive!

My favorite picture of Hannah, Caeden, and myself!

    It isn't every day that an actress has the opportunity to play her favorite role in one of her favorite musicals! That's why I'm so thankful for the privilege to have played Liesl von Trapp in the Beaufort Theatre Company's production of "The Sound of Music!" The show closed yesterday, and I cried when the curtains closed for the final time. I've never cried after a show before, but this one was so special and dear to my heart. I've dreamed of being in it ever since I watched the movie for the first time. Some friends invited us to a Christmas party to watch the movie, and I immediately fell in love with it. The rest of that month I locked myself in our kitchen and sang and danced to "Sixteen Going On Seventeen," imagining my crush (who so happnes to be my boyfriend now) as Rolf. Though my boyfriend did not play Rolf in our production (his friend did, actually), it was still a dreamy and magical experience. I have some photos from the production that I would love to share. 




    Though I'm sad this show is over, I look forward to starting the next one tomorrow! (Hint: the temperature is about to drop in this story of sisters and true love! ❄⛄)

With His Love,

Word of the Year Reflection

-
     Tomorrow is the last day of 2023, so recently I've been reflecting on my spiritual growth this year, especially in the area of surrender, as that was my word of the year. Here is what I learned:     1. Surrender is one thing I never should stop working on. I will never be perfect at giving my desires to God and opening myself to His will. Every single day I need to remind myself that the temptation to be a control-freak is real and strong, but I need to combat it diligently.      2. I definitely grew in the area of surrender. God has shown me His will in several different areas in my life, and I learned that when I obey Him, He fills me with His perfect peace.      I'm so thankful for the past year and the growth I've experienced. I pray that He will continue to grow me in the area of surrender.  With His Love,  Alyssa Wells If this post was encouraging, please follow, comment, and share!

Valentine's Day and a Quick Life Update

-
    Hi y'all! Happy Valentine's Day! It's been a while since I posted a life update, but I've been soooooooooo busy! My senior year is coming along well, and in just 100 days I'll be on that stage receiving my diploma! So crazy and exciting! There are also new developments in the book I've been writing, as well as an incredible opportunity to serve God this summer. Finally, I have some exciting news about college, so keep on reading!           So far all of my graduation and senior party planning has been simpler than I thought. I was voted senior representative/coordinator for my class, which basically means I'm in charge of communicating dates and deadlines to members of the class. Not everybody has cooperated well, but most have so I'm counting that a success. Today I recorded my audio speech for the actual graduation. Tomorrow I plan to meet with our senior pastor for an accountability meeting. Looking forward to that!      Back...

Happy New Year and Word of the Year!

     Patience. The Cambridge Dictionary defines it best, in my opinion. According to this English dictionary, patience is "the ability to wait, or continue doing something despite difficulties, or to suffer without complaining or becoming annoyed." The Bible says that when we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we will demonstrate patience. Yikes. I know and have always known that patience is not my forte, but I also have always been scared to pray for patience. When you pray for patience, God will definitely give it to you, often through allowing you to go through plenty of patience-testing situations to help you practice. My sister and I often joke when we're stuck behind a slow driver or have every single stoplight turn red when we approach it that one of us must have prayed for patience. And I know it wasn't me.      Because of my obvious lack of patience, I chose this quality to be my word of the year for 2024. I need to grow in this area. I should not im...
