I feel like I am at a strange place in a walk with God. It is not that I am feeling stagnant. I wouldn’t say that I am content. Life is crazy busy right now and I feel like my spiritual life has suffered. I don’t want to pretend to be perfect. I’ll be the … Continue reading Take Back Your Week
I’m Not Okay
I’m not fine. That was probably one of the hardest things to say to the people around me. This isn’t something new, something novel, but rather something that I have been feeling for kind of a long time. I don’t know why, but telling those close to me that I am not ok was incredibly … Continue reading I’m Not Okay
Go with God
I am usually a very happy person. I am very optimistic and am just kind of excited to be alive. I always have energy and can seem to find the good in everything. I think that is part of why I make friends so easily, but this post is not that. If you are looking … Continue reading Go with God
Calm in the Storm
This week is the first week back to college for me. It probably is for most other college students as well. This time of year is a little crazy. There is the excitement of a new season in our lives. A new semester. A blank canvas. I am feeling a mix of emotions this week. … Continue reading Calm in the Storm
It Takes Time
Last week I attended CRU’s Winter Conference in Indianapolis. While I was there I took some time to reflect and write about some of the things I had learned. The conference was transformational. We learned about tough topics for Christians. Topics like Race, LGBTQ+, Anxiety, and Depression. There was a lot of takeaways and I … Continue reading It Takes Time
A Look in the Mirror
I have never really talked about this. I have kept it hidden. Buried. Silently I struggled deep within myself, but no longer. No. The struggle is not over. I doubt it ever will be, but I can’t keep it hidden any longer, so here it is. I struggle with my self-image. I don’t think I … Continue reading A Look in the Mirror
A Servant’s Heart
This past weekend I attended CRU’s Worship Arts Weekend and Winter Conference Audition. I learned a lot while I was there and so I wanted to share a little bit of it. To give you a picture of what the weekend looked like, there were about 80 students from universities all over the Midwest. We … Continue reading A Servant’s Heart
Start Your Day Right
If I had to describe my ideal morning I would start by waking up nice and early, working out for a bit, getting a shower, then sitting down with a cup of coffee and the Bible and reading. I say this is my ideal morning because my morning usually looks a lot more like me … Continue reading Start Your Day Right
Sing it Out – Worship
Worship has been a very important topic to me. I have been involved with the worship team at my church for at least 5 years and that has changed how I see worship on a daily basis. I always thought that worship was something that you do at church on Sundays. It involved singing and … Continue reading Sing it Out – Worship
Talking to an All-Knowing God
To say that my brain is all over the place would be an understatement. I am always thinking about the next thing- whether that be a homework assignment, what songs I have to play on Sunday, what I am doing with friends this weekend, or what I will eat today. My brain likes to be … Continue reading Talking to an All-Knowing God
