brave
I don’t know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future. Those are the words that I penned last night before going out. Sometimes I get a really bad feeling, as if the worst possible outcome of any given situation is what is going to happen. I really wish I didn’t get…

counting stars
I said at the beginning of this blog that it would be a train wreck of a blog, and that’s been somewhat true. To be fair, the last couple of months have been crazy. I’ve grown a lot closer to God and to my friends and family in this season. Right now I’m coming to…

It’s Okay
Friday, March 13. That’s the day that COVID-19 and self-isolation became real for me. Before then, obviously I had known about the damage it had been doing around the globe… but it wasn’t here. Until it was. Suddenly, the schedule was changed. Everything cancelled. Plans I had built for myself, turned upside down. All it…

Wonder
When did we forget to find magic in the simple things? When did we decide that “growing up” meant letting go of the wonder of the past? As children we would look at everything with wide eyes, taking in everything even though we didn’t understand it all yet. Now we’re older, and somehow we forgot…

Turn From Fear
Guest post by my friend Caitlin from Down Under. As humans, we often rely on our own flesh and emotions, rather than on what God says. We run to fear instead of to God and we put our anxieties and our insecurities first in the situations we face. And y’know, I do the same sometimes.…

Time
Imagine a time where life moved just a little bit slower. Where people smelled the roses because they knew that there was time to spare. Where you had just a few extra moments with your loved ones. Where maybe we could go back and fix our mistakes, set things right. Maybe we would see the…
