I’m an over-thinker. A figure-outer. And I’ve been really struggling with faith lately. I’ve been constantly trying to figure out things for myself, which has left me with a lot of questions. I’ve used these questions to put God at a distance, safely keeping Him there until He answers everything. Honestly, I still have many… Continue reading to the over-thinkers & figure-outers

I love Jesus, sunsets, beaches, ice cream, deep talks, writing, cuddling with my puppy, stargazing, cookie dough, pretty dresses, reading my Bible, rooftops, cupcakes, the rain, clean sheets, exercise, family, sparkly things, Sprite , painting, car rides, Sunday’s, and pizza.
worth. value. identity
Worth. Value. Identity. These can be intimidating words if your life looks anything like mine used to look. I’m not sure where and when I lost it, but I know that I searched hard to find it. Before I met Jesus, I searched for some sense of meaning by trying to get people to value… Continue reading worth. value. identity

lessons from a dog
This is my puppy, Riley. She’s 4 whole pounds and equal parts love and attitude. I don’t get many days to stay home with her all do, so when I do, I make sure to treasure them. Right now, I’m on a break from school and my internship, and as the holidays have started to… Continue reading lessons from a dog
Christmas gift
As I sit here by the fire on this chilly Christmas night, surrounded by people I love, reflecting on the beautiful gift of Christmas and the story of Jesus’ birth, I can’t help but be drawn to the role of the magi. Three men- wise men- were drawn to Jesus as a baby. He was… Continue reading Christmas gift
what are you thoughts, prayers, and #goodvibes really doing?
We live in a world of hate. It is sad but true. We see it in the media every day. Terrorist attacks, racism, bullying, mass shootings… the list could go on. We keep these hateful acts “in our prayers,” while going about our busy day. When we see people trying to actually do something about… Continue reading what are you thoughts, prayers, and #goodvibes really doing?
big faith
These last few weeks have been jam-packed with emotion. My cousin passed away a little over a week ago, and I have been going through the process of dealing with everything that comes with that. He had down syndrome and went to be with the Lord at the young age of 25. The grief that… Continue reading big faith

The last couple of days it's been on my mind how people say "Oh God feels far away? Well He doesn't move so, who did?" To be honest, when everyone would say "oooh that's good," I'd always feel a little mix of guilt and fear. Can a couple of days/weeks of mixed up priorities really… Continue reading close
call to love
Who are you being called to love? A friend? A family member? Sponsor a child? Feed the homeless? Go on a mission trip? That man that's always drunk at the bar? The girl in class everyone else gossips about? That one person you feel like you see everywhere lately and you just don't know why? That guy that says he know the Lord but his lifestyle says the opposite and now people have given up on him?
