Let’s Dance!
I was in the waiting room at therapy with my friend, and a boy, maybe 16 or 17, came up to me, sat as close as he possibly could, and grabbed my hand. Which is a totally normal occurence in my line of work. He asked what my name was, and after I told him,…

The Aftermath
Life after losing my Poppop. Mentally I have resorted back to where I was a year ago. Completely ignoring any and all tips my psychiatrist has given me to handle anxiety episodes. I am angry at God, not reading my Bible, and not going to Him for anything. I’m not believing the truth that my…

My Poppop

I am still dealing with the aftermath of my skin disease, and auto-immune disease triggered by stress that only about 50 people have ever…

Grace
The other night I felt so defeated in my sin. I allowed myself to feel overwhelmed and suffocated by shame. Instead of turning to God and relinquishing the control I hold on to so tightly, I clung to my sin. The thought of never being able to conquer this sin left me feeling like a…

Shame
I live in this constant fear that my sin will be exposed. You can know my testimony…just not those parts. You can see the ugly sides of me that I let you see…just not those sides. I’ve come to realize that some sins seem to be more acceptable than others. Some sins are seen as…

Arizona 2019
This is the trip I look forward to. The 41 hour bus ride from Pennsylvania to Arizona…the 7 days working on the Navajo Reservation in Window Rock, and the 2 days camping in Ouray, Colorado. I love every minute of it. I am so grateful for these past 11 days. It seems like we’ve been…
