JESUS – WRITING – PHOTOGRAPHY
It’s been too long! I’m sorry I’ve been MIA for a while! This semester is going wildly, and busy seems to be my word of the month (or rather the year)! I plan to start posting at least twice a month (hopefully much, much more than that, but we’ll set our standards at something I…
63 years ago today, 5 men died in one of the most famous moments of martyrdom that has yet been witnessed. “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” - Jim Elliot - I am constantly astounded by these words because what a profoundly simple thing to…
“Everyone reaches the future at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.” - C.S. Lewis - I have spent hours and hours, days, and weeks wishing that I could do everything I wanted in that very second. 2018, my friends, was what I would consider a year of wishful…
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.

For a long while now, I’ve been worried about a myriad of things: money, travel, am I doing anything worthwhile with my life?

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.…
I love acting. In fact, it’s one of my favorite things. I’m very good at it. I love writing façades for people to take on, and I love taking them on myself. It’s really quite fun. But you know where it becomes not fun? I’m sure you see where this is going—in my actual life.…
I’ve spent many moments in utter discomfort as I wonder about my purpose and a number of reasons for my general existence. I mean, don’t get me wrong—I understand why I’m here, God’s overwhelming love for us. However, that doesn’t change the fact that destiny has a more specific hand in the game than just…
I have written many letters and scrawled across the broken, torn up pages of my tattered heart, lies that the enemy has whispered to me, and I have believed them because it was my handwriting that had allowed them to be inscribed upon me.
