I’d be lying if I said the last couple of months have been easy. I’d be lying if I said they’ve been good. I have been going through one of the toughest seasons of my life.

Author: faithfully flourishing
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.

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?

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.
