They say (whoever, they are) confession is good for the soul. Well here it goes ... I am not perfect. It's ok to be appalled now and that shift you just felt in the atmosphere was the Earth coming to a halt at that revelation 🙂 I am and always have been the first to… Continue reading Confession …

How Not to Be Creepy on Christian Mingle
Yes, I took the plunge again and got back into the online dating world this past week. Honestly, I have no expectations this time except to get a few laughs. Two years ago when I joined I was desperate to find a date to one of my guy friend's weddings. I was in a place… Continue reading How Not to Be Creepy on Christian Mingle
Blessed
My senior year of High School redeemed the hard, lonely years of Middle School and 9th-11th grade. Even in a Christian School, I had to take a stand for Christ and hold firm on personal convictions from time to time. I'm not sure that anyone besides my family knew how alone I really was but… Continue reading Blessed
The Songs We Don’t Sing Anymore
I love music as it wraps itself around my heart and stirs emotions inside of me that, sometimes, I didn't even know I had. But more than anything I love Christ-centered music.

However, it is what's not… Continue reading I Surrender But Not to This

My dad has a sermon that he preaches on 1 Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." The key point in his sermon is that while we aren't always thankful for everything we can be thankful in everything. He typically then shares a personal example of… Continue reading In Everything Give Thanks
A New Home
At the beginning of last year I discovered this brand new world of planner people. It is exactly what you think it is, if you are thinking it sounds like people who are serious about their calendars and planning. These are people who still enjoy the art of writing things down versus entering it into… Continue reading A New Home
Much Needed Change
I have been sensing it for a while, several months even, that a change is coming. There has been a change in the atmosphere around me. While I have an idea of what it is based off of how the Lord has been changing the desires in my heart and my focus, I do not… Continue reading Much Needed Change
