JESUS – WRITING – PHOTOGRAPHY
It’s strange to consider the proximity of the scariest things to our lives—the smallest decisions that lead to the greatest consequences or the most uncontrolled things that so decide to grace our lives with their hovering and overpowering, fear-filling tendencies. We are strangely close to car accidents, addiction, cancer, natural disasters—horrors virtually uncontrollable by anyone.…
“At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved.” - Daniel 9:23 (ESV) - I have been thinking about the words “greatly loved” for the past two days utterly stunned by how loaded the term is. C.S. Lewis…
I have spent a lot of time recently wondering what the source of my discontentment and lack of motivation is. My mind wanders too quickly for me to narrowly focus on anything, especially that which seems to be most important, that which requires my most narrow of focuses. I wander to the plotlines of television…
Every year, when my birthday comes around, I freak out a little bit. Which is rather odd, since I’m barely an adult—shouldn’t I be excited? Don’t get me wrong because I really am, but there’s something so strange about another year of your life coming and going. I find myself constantly questioning whether or not…

I have always been head-over-heels IN LOVE with Christmas. There is this incomparable wonder that encompasses this time of the year—but, it’s really hard when that isn’t captured. This season is really rough for a lot of people—depression is real, loss is real, anxiety, dissociation, horrible family situations, they are all super real and super…
Body image issues are like this giant, unspoken (sometimes spoken), looming presence of insecurity that towers over nearly (if not all of) everyone. We are plagued in thought and appearance.

You are valuable. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You are broken, beautiful, perfectly messy, and absolutely astonishing in every little thing because you have been crafted in the Creator’s flawless hands. A fabulous arrangement of every colorful burst of personality quirks. You are the most lovely collection of everything you once believed yourself to…
I have read a thousand verses and sung a thousand songs; prayed a thousand prayers and heard a thousand words… Yet here I sit, constantly wondering about God and His goodness—I’ve realized my greatest points of question have come at times when I am not being consistent or intentional in pursuing Him with my time.…
