1/22/2023 τετέλεσται. Tetelestai. “It is finished.”   This word was airdropped to me by a stranger on the plane just days before I moved to Hawaii. There’s always been something about other languages that moves my spirit, but this word specifically was pressed on my heart for days until I got hit with the revelation of […]

I have spoken briefly before about some of the times the Lord has brought me a step back to reveal a larger message. One of those times being when I learned that there was no place for my hateful heart in His ministry, and that if I were to continue in the fight against human

October 8, 2022 Surprise. I moved back to Texas. I just love the place God brought me into a year ago. Not to mention the fact that it ripped the vegan right out of me. Yeah, I eat meat basically raw now. and steak is my favorite food. I will say though that people here

August 21, 2022 Loneliness and fear of disappointing people has been a struggle for me my whole life. It’s turned into moments of anxiety and it’s purely by the Holy Spirit that I’ve lived a life full of so much joy and laughter. Having Jesus doesn’t make your life perfect, but He does make your

May 26, 2020 I’ve been sort of MIA on this blog for a while now, and there’s no particular reason or excuse I can come up with to justify my absence. Whether or not this blog is a place where others come to read my messy thoughts, writing is how I process not only things

May 23, 2019 I haven’t posted on here in quite a while… but I have an excuse!! This past semester I had the opportunity to spend 4 months in South Africa. These truly were months of transformation and restoration, and God taught me an overwhelming amount throughout both my time there and since I’ve left

November 2, 2018 I have a confession… I hate pens! But I rarely write in pencil because I’m scared it’s going to smear all over the pages (it’s the worst). This is why I do pretty much everything in pen. I wish I didn’t let that pet peeve stop me from using pencils because I

September 14, 2018 Have you ever felt blank? Like, not upset, not sad, not excited, not joyful, but… absolutely nothing? Like you genuinely can’t feel anything? You have a blank, clear mind and you just can’t tell what your emotions are because, well, you don’t have any. Do you ever feel very disconnected from everything

July 3, 2018 Aaaaaand that’s a wrap! My first year of college is officially over … well, it’s been over for quite a while now, but I’ve had time to reflect on this past year and the things God has taught me over the past 2 semesters. The thing about my freshman year was that

February 28, 2018 Let me start off with a little disclaimer. I am extremely, incredibly, and beyond blessed and thankful to have grown up in a Christian family, with parents who lived to make sure I knew about Jesus. So, mom, dad, thank you so much for that. I will forever be grateful, because like I said before, I honestly

January 28, 2018 Do you ever sit in church and listen to the pastor or speaker talk about that “one thing” that’s keeping you from God? They tell you to pray and give up that “thing” in your life that is pulling you away from your relationship with Him. This idea brought me so much

 November 20, 2017    One of my favorite stories in the Bible comes from the book of Daniel and it is the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. To give a little synopsis, (but you should still go read it if you haven’t) there were three men with some pretty wack names; Shadrach, Meshach, and

November 16, 2017 Earlier this semester, I had to take a strengths finder test for one of my classes. Finding out the results of this test, I want to take what I learned about myself and value most, and apply it to my life. I’m going to record the results here to remind myself to

October 25, 2017 “How has living as a Christian changed others lives?” I had to think about this question for a while, and honestly, it kind of discouraged me a little bit. I looked back at my life and wondered, “Have I done such an awful job at being a Christian that I can’t even

October 22, 2017 “When do you feel closest to God?” A “good” answer to this question would be something along the lines of feeling closest to God when I’m battling an obstacle in life and I’ve turned to God for strength and comfort to push through. While I am working each day for this to

October 9, 2017 This one will be a little difficult considering I am still trying to acclimate to my new college life, but I thought I’d give you a little insight into the beginning pages of this new chapter in my life. I can honestly say that in the short time I have been in

October 7, 2017 As promised, I ignored the fatigue and went to church…and guess what, God imparted more understanding to me on something He has been teaching me lately! He really brought this lesson back to my attention today when the pastor spoke about persecution. As Christians, and even non-christians, we are guilty of having

September 25, 2017 I’ve been in college for a little over a month now and boy was I overwhelmed by the amount of “stuff” going on each day. From classes to chapel three days a week to Bible study groups to meetings with my mentor to the abundance of homework piling up and, of course,
