Debora is a girl who fulfills her dream of living in Australia. She is a mature and devout Christian, who is swearing off men, but when she bumps into a church and meets Adam, her walls begin to crumble. Adam had just been diagnosed with a terminal disease, but kept that secret from everyone. The moment he began to live his life learning to let go and detach, preparing for his imminent death, Debora's arrival and the romantic feelings he quickly develops for her, lead him to a road of selfishness, pride and fear. Where will love take them?

"Calm down, just calm down." He thought to himself as he tried to even out his labored breathing, it it seems to just have made it worse. His breathing became shorter and harder causing him to clutch his chest as the bitter December air seemed to attack his throat. "Jairo." A soft voice rang out, though his head was still pounding. It caught his attention, "Jairo, you have to calm down, take deep breathes. I promise you're okay." He didn't feel okay though, it wasn't working. "I'm trying." He gasped clenching his eyes shut, he balled up his fist hitting his chest before falling to the ground. Suddenly he stopped, everything stopped. Jairo Agbayani or JAY is a 24 year old man living his everyday life in Chicago, Illinois. He's not satisfied but he's not complaining, however he feels that he should be doing more. Though he has no clue where to start, so he's settled for now. One fateful New Years Eve dared to change the course of his life for the better, and for the first time in his life he just might let it. Juniper Bartok, a 23 year old woman supposedly in her 'prime.' Though she doesn't really know how true that statement is. Because frankly? she doesn't really know where she's going. But as long as God guides, she's decided to follow faithfully. She's been following Christ full heartedly for a few years and it seems to be a new lesson everyday. Not that she's complaining, maybe just a smidge. However, what happens when these two just so happen to end up in the same situation on a bitter New Years Eve night?

UPDATE! Mind of a Christian Chapter 2 is out, which will revisit some topics here, as well as cover new thoughts: https://www.wattpad.com/story/267417608-mind-of-a-christian-chapter-2 -------------------------------- I'll say it now, I haven't been a Christian for a long time. Even though time isn't necessarily a deciding factor in spiritual growth, I still can't claim that I've grown to be spiritually mature. BUT, I keep learning new things about God and how great He is, and that's super exciting! I want to share the great things about our God to you, so that we may all know His glory. If you're a Christian reading this, I would like to share you things that may hopefully strengthen your walk in the Messiah. If you're not a Christian but you're still reading this, I hope that I may provide sound and reasonable arguments for the God of Israel. Like any human, I'm not going to be perfect in delivering what I share, so if I mess up somewhere, you can even rebuke me and tell me how I presented something wrong! Do you have a bad stigma against Christianity? Do you think that it's right or wrong of us to hate gays or certain people? Do you want to know more about God and how to become closer to Him? Do you want evidence on His existence itself? Share your thoughts! Let's come together and engage with your opinions - both good and bad, peaceful and controversial - here!

My name is Katy Woodland and I'm Christian. I go to Franklin High, and I'm a freshman. I get bullied a lot, because I'm Christian, but I am not going to let that bring me or my love of God down. NEVER!

"I know ma. Stop fronting. Tell me you miss me." He kissed her in between his words, in love with the way her brown eyes dazed. "I miss you. And your mouth tastes like pickles." She spoke softly, a smile taking over her face once he laughed. "You wanna taste it again?" He stuck his tongue out at her, and she closed her eyes after sucking it into her mouth. She cradled the side of his face, rubbing over his prominent jawline as the kiss deepened. Dayvon's hands went underneath her tank top, breaking the kiss for a moment to get it off. The way he rubbed on her body made her moan again, missing the feeling of his hands on her skin. He hadn't touched her intimately in so long. She'd missed him.

"You're going to pay for that." I whispered to her, making sure to graze my mouth across the spot that makes her breath hitch. When I saw her remain unfazed, I leant behind her and switched on the shower... causing a small gasp from her beneath the chilling water. Placing both hands either side of her head, I leant into her and hovered my lips above hers. Neither of us moved until she finally breathed the words that made my knees weak. "Oh, just fuck me already." ~~~ A plane journey was all that stood between Rebecca Brooke and Ashton Miles. One hour and 20 minutes in the sky was all that it took for her to arrive at her perfectly planned summer in France. However, falling for her 'Bestfriend's Brother' and 'Brother's Best Friend' certainly wasn't on that plan. Suddenly her whole month away, that she spent caught up in steamy romances with Ashton, began to feel so right.

[𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓, 18+] Eric Calloway, the rich badboy, meets Liliana Mendes, the good girl at a party, before senior year. He notices her, and it was love at first sight for the both of them-well, next plaything for him. A kiss was shared between the two, and from then on, they couldn't get enough of each other. They decided to have a friends-with-benefits kind of relationship. In this relationship, they are exclusive to each other with no strings attached (the feels). But what happens when their relationship becomes more than just sex? Will they admit their feelings for each other or walk away from their happily ever after? 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓: ❝Eric pulls me into his lap; his hand cupping my face, those green irises stare into my russet ones. He says, "I fucked up a lot in my life and the one thing I don't want to fuck up is you and I."❞ (𝙶𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚝...𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢) 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒: ~Sex scenes ~Violence ~Cancer triggers ~Some cute couple moments 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 29/06/2020 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃: 14/03/2021 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐒: #1 reallifedrama (26/08/2020) #3 selenagomez (08/09/2020) #1 teenagersinlove (21/09/2020) #1 eroticromance (12/10/2021) #1 sexscenes (05/03/2022) #1 player (01/03/2023) #1 dramatic (04/05/2023) #2 paulwesley (07/04/2021) #62 teenromance (24/03/2021) #8 romance (04/05/2023) #1 hotboys (17/05/2021) #15 cancer (05/05/2023) #5 zaddy (20/03/2021) #1 italianboy (10/12/2020) #54 mature (28/09/2020) #290 badboy (29/09/2020) #10 crazylovestory (23/03/2021) #15 teendrama (24/03/2021) #216 goodgirl (20/03/2021) #386 youngadult (24/03/2021)

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

"Say it." he whispered in a threatening voice. "No!" I answered back. "Elle.." he warned. "please.." I begged. "tsk. tsk. consequences my love" The next thing I heard was the sound of a gun shooting and my best friend screaming in agony. Elle never really had any choice about what happened in her life. And her marriage to a cruel and heartless mafia leader was no exception.
