People have been asking me what I’m planning for the big 3-4. I honestly have no plans. My emotions have been up and down (ok, mostly down) about the upcoming event and I don’t know how I will feel when it gets here. Will I have a series of bursts of energy and strength… Continue reading Getting Older

Why I’m Glad God Gave Me A Roommate…Again
Hello there! Please check out my guest post on Single Roots “Why I’m Glad God Gave Me A Roommate…Again”! SHALOM
Giant Slayer
I remember at the beginning of this very difficult season Holy Spirit said “fight!” and I responded “I don’t want to”. I’m usually honest in my responses to Him because that’s what happens when you have a close relationship with someone. And He already knows my heart anyway so there’s no reason to dabble in… Continue reading Giant Slayer
When Life Looks Different
Can I be honest with you? Because I’d like to. It is my hope that this little blog brings hope and causes people to grow closer to God, but it is also my hope that I am transparent. When I was 19 years old something or rather, Someone got a hold of me. I was… Continue reading When Life Looks Different
Keep Living
This week was full of both rest and fun. Rest because I had 5 days off work (3 of those PTO) and fun because many days were spent with really good people. For Thanksgiving my mom and I went out to eat. Normally one of us cooks (usually her) but this time she wanted something… Continue reading Keep Living
The Job Season

He lost it all and then had the nerve to worship right after he did! Talk about FAITHFUL. I have said I wanted my life partner to… Continue reading The Job Season

And those who are going through really hard things should count it all joy… I remember when this scripture first came alive to me. I had my first heartbreak and… Continue reading When Joy Looks Different
Can I Be Casual?
Many years ago I was pretty much desperate to be in a committed relationship. I hate to use that word but it’s pretty accurate. I was needy and codependent and did not know my identity. When you’re in a state like that you’re liable to accept anything. And so I did. Thankfully God got a… Continue reading Can I Be Casual?
Simply Human
Sometimes it’s good to cry. I am wired to be more emotional so crying is typical for me. I guess the fact that I haven’t cried much in response to this season is actually a red flag. I should be crying more. I sat on his couch this morning and cried. I hope that won’t… Continue reading Simply Human
Life Without Fear
It’s funny how long you can go living in a state that is less than ideal. Your life has been that way for so long you don’t know any better. It is your normal, even when it is abnormal. Who are you if that thing changes? What will your life look like in this new… Continue reading Life Without Fear
