    …2018

    My three greatest accomplishments of 2018… #1. My salvation through Jesus Christ. I committed myself to living a life for the Lord. #2. Getting baptized in a Colorado hot spring in front of my friends and students and strangers. Proclaiming my faith and commitment in a public way. #3. Trusting the Lord with this new…

  • Inhale Positivity…Exhale Negativity

    My circumstances should not dictate my mood. No matter how exhausted or frustrated I am I need to work on reacting in a positive way, or at least not in a way that totally shows I am extremely irritated and negative. So my hope for today, and what I am talking with God about, is…

  • She’s Back

    I had a mental breakdown yesterday. It might be because of the total lack of nutrients going to my brain or the fact that everything hit all at once. Comments were said to me on Sunday that made me feel like a total failure for battling an eating disorder again. I struggle with confiding in…

    Last August I was hit by a speeding texting driver in a truck going over 60MPH that made no attempt to slow down. The police (and my car genius brother) said it was due to a safety bar in my Ford that saved me. That if it wasn’t for the bar I would be dead.…

  • Grace & Forgiveness

    It’s easy to allow past circumstances to dictate how we handle present and future situations.

His grace…

  • Oh friend…

    A few days ago I was told that you were finally home. I’ve been wondering why Joey Feek has been on my heart since Monday. I reread Rory’s blog and watched the videos again. A similar throbbing ache clung to my heart and made itself at home in my throat. I then watched the new…

  • You’re Never Done Learning

    About a month ago I decided to return to college, I figured 5 years of college wasn’t enough! Ha! I decided on the University of Pennsylvania because saving money is totally overrated and if I am going to be in student loan debt for the rest of my life I might as well go to…

  • Gratitude

    I’m sure you’ve heard it said a million times before: What if you woke up today with only what you thanked God for yesterday?   Well? What if that was what happened? And to add on to that…what if we stopped talking to God only in times of trials and pain? What if we talked…

  • Above & Beyond

    “I don’t get paid to do that.” “That’s not my job.” “Why do I have to do it? Can’t someone else?” When you work for any company/firm as support staff, administrative assistant, administrative professional, gate keeper, hub, go-to gal, whatever you want to call it…you wear many hats and those above phrases should not be…
