That's exactly what I did these past couple of days. And man, was it good for me! I hadn't been feeling my best in the couple of weeks prior so I knew I wanted to take some time alone doing something I love, to refresh & renew. And while I did, I was able to … Continue reading Ever take a weekend for yourself?
In the more recent months, I've learned more about myself than the years of my life prior, combined. This includes becoming aware of some personal characteristics (but actually, challenges) of mine, a couple of which have seemed to become more noticeable to me amongst all of the life changes I've had lately. For some reason … Continue reading For your good & His glory
So I'm currently sitting at Denver International Airport with a final destination of HOME, aka Virginia where I'll get to see my uncle marry the love of his life at their wedding on Monday.

Just two years ago, I had decided to switch from a Criminology major to an Oceanography major. Seeing as I ended up getting my degree in Recreation & am moving to the mountains, it's obvious that didn't last very long. When I first became a Recreation major, I really had no clue what I wanted … Continue reading A First Calling
Life requires Community & I found mine at Church. As I'm starting to say my goodbyes in Wilmington, I've been reflecting on how blessed I am to have found multiple communities of people to support & encourage me. But the one I am so grateful for most recently is the one I found at Life … Continue reading Getting Rooted
Toward the end of last year my life changed in a significant way. My heart was broken and I had no idea what else to do but turn to Jesus. I've always been a Christian and grew up in the church, however I've never experienced the true peace that comes with a relationship with God … Continue reading Going All In For Jesus
So this is something I've wanted to do for quite some time, but last week while at my church's annual women's conference "Flourish," I felt prompted by God to put the urge into action.
