I think that’s the best part of life. The unexpected blessings. The feeling of being out of the woods for a bit. The feeling of finally being able to catch your breath after 6 months of running on the fumes of your own sanity. The dust settled. The storm passed. You can finally feel theContinue reading “Unexpected Blessings”

New Roots
The heaviness sinks deep in my chest making it hard to breathe. Today was the day I took a leap of faith. Today I moved my whole life to a new city. Now I’m laying in my bed in a beautiful apartment that could’ve only been handpicked by God himself for me to live in.Continue reading “New Roots”
The Secret to Consistency
Recently I’ve been embarking on a journey that’s been long overdue: the journey of finally taking care of me. This is quite the stretch outside of my comfort zone. I have always been the person who looks for ways to ease the burdens of others, but never my own. I look for ways to meetContinue reading “The Secret to Consistency”
Add Life to Your Life
This past month as been a whirlwind in the best way. I had the amazing opportunity to serve alongside my friends who are the founders of a uniquely designed, ethically made clothing company. A month ago they were offered the opportunity to take their online store to an on-site location in downtown Kansas City Missouri,Continue reading “Add Life to Your Life”
The Little Things
I had a conversation with a friend recently and we were talking about the grand gestures God has shown to prove His great love for us over and over again which are beautiful, powerful testimonies.

The Privilege of Suffering

Creating Security Without “Perfect Timing”
There’s only two types of timing. Now or Never. It isn’t Now, Later, or Never. In the same way that there is no 8th day of the week called “someday”. Later is never an option, because it isn’t guaranteed. Later is never a “sure thing”. The only thing we can ever be sure of isContinue reading “Creating Security Without “Perfect Timing””
We’re All Brainwashed
I can hear the cringy facial expression coming through the screen from you as I write that awful sentence.. “We’re All Brainwashed.” And as cringy as it sounds— if we were all honest with ourselves we would know that this is true. Brainwashing, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is “a forcible indoctrination to induce someone toContinue reading “We’re All Brainwashed”
Monday Muse
When you’re starving, you’ll settle for whatever crumb you can manage to find. When you’re bored you’ll seek out the foods that make you feel good. When you’re satisfied you’ll only seek out the foods that nourish you from the inside out. Because settling for a morsel or an occasional treat is great, but itContinue reading “Monday Muse”
The Non-Apology
As I’ve gotten older I’ve come to a bit of a crossroads of what behavior I can handle in my relationships and what type of behavior is worthy of a conversation to see if a compromise could be created. What I’ve found is that people who choose not to see their contributions as to howContinue reading “The Non-Apology”
