Take Back Your Week

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 …

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 …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
