monday- a new day with a new purpose
mondays have this crazy way of sneaking up on me. its like i go to sleep on sunday night expecting to wake up reading to start something new. something to make this week different from last week. today different than yesterday.
but it never seems to happen. i wake up on monday lay in bed for a good 1/2 hour, slowly make my way to the bathroom, brush me teeth, wash my face… and then go...

contentment isn't here- stop pretending it is
there are days when I would like nothing more than to pack up all of my stuff… not really, mostly just my dog, and drive.
to go some place where I would feel wanted and chosen. to feel accepted. to feel prioritized. to feel anything more than anger and fake contentment and a “close second.”
there is such a thing as unconditional love. it’s what jesus had for me when...

growing up..part 2
I know it is something that we all go through.. whether we want to or not. And I know it is something we all have to accept whether we want to or not.
ok. so i’ve accepted the fact that all around me, my friends are growing up. In fact, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I have too. I was the first of my friends to leave. So I get it. I accept that. What I don’t accept,...

Grown up..finally! ..?
Growing up is something I’ve longed for since I was old enough to dream. I can remember being 14 looking through wedding magazines, naming my kids, picking out houses and just laughing hysterically, carelessly, and oh so so SO passionatly with my dearest and nearest bestest forever friend, my kiddo, Jess.
The day she got married was so hard for me- it was as though I was saying goodbye to...

so I just came back from one of my most amazing weeks of being in youth ministry (for almost 6 years). You see, it was my first time leading students in a mission trip, and can I just say I was BEYOND amazed at the transformation that took place in each one of their spiritual lives. I had students that were so touched, so changed, and so in love with the forgiveness that Jesus brings to each of...

not that I ever would get a tattoo… but could you imagine, going in for three stars and coming out with an entire constellation. no thanks! that’s a whole lot of trust one puts into their tattoo artist……..
i'm an impatient analyzer
hey. so okay. one of my favorite things to do is track my life. that sounds strange, a little weird, maybe a lot weird, but its what I do. and, the reason I like doing it so much is because i enjoy to the fullest seeing where God has taken me.
i can go back to just about any moment and see where and how God has used them to help me and bring me to where I am today.
example. my life as a...

Ecclesiastes 7:14
When times are good,
you should be cheerful;
when times are bad,
think what it means.
God makes them both
to keep us from knowing
what will happen next.
fulfilling goals and pressing on.
for the longest time, i’ve been a goal setter, maybe a dream fulfiller, and possibly the god-resister. a couple months ago, I was so sure to fulfill my life dream of becoming a dentist, to finish wondering “what if I had become a dentist” and at the same time, resisting what I felt God was telling me.
it was confusing really. it was like a fight with God, that He was calling...

the better blessings of a childlike faith
Tonight I did a small group study with some of the coolest kids! then again, they’re all cool. I have this passion, this urging to be with them, to tell them about God— they are the better blessings in my life.
okay so the study was about “doubting thomas.” if you don’t know the story, here’s the short: Thomas was one of Jesus’ disciples… after...
