Somehow I knew. Last night I didn’t want to go to sleep, and I wrote these words to describe the angst I just couldn’t shake, “Staying up to watch the sun rise, because I don’t want to miss every last second of this world with you in it.” Grammy, words cannot describe how thankful I…

Another year has come to a close. It didn’t look anything like I expected, and it was one of the hardest in so many ways. Yet, God also proved His faithfulness time and again as He met me in the midst of the hard days. And I can say that I’m standing at the beginning…

Another revolution around the sun complete. It was a year filled with highs and lows. But sitting here at the end of it, I am so thankful for God’s grace that carried me through, and for the awesome people I get to do life with. Now, per usual, some random life lessons from the year.

The weatherman was predicting flash floods and pouring rain all day, and attendees from all around said they drove through pouring rain to get to the venue. But God, while providing cloud cover that kept it…

Hey all! I’m sorry I haven’t written anything in such a long time. My family has been busy for the last while. First with ballet recitals and then the Chec Conference. We are just now starting to recover. 😉 Several thing have also happened. Three weeks ago, my sister broke her arm, the first in…

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. I’ve mainly been recovering from the Centennial State Qualifier a couple weeks ago. (I’m still in shock that I’ve finished my Apologetics cards. After writing 90 six minute speeches, you don’t really feel like you’ve reached the end.) As you could see from my last post, I…

The Rebelution is currently doing a series called, “Not to Young to Die.” In one of the installments they gave this list. 3 Marks of a Tragically Wasted Life A lukewarm attitude of complacency. A lazy habit of procrastination. A paralyzed lifestyle of timidity. 3 Marks of a Gloriously Spent Life A hot-hearted desire to…
