the vastness of God.

If you stepped outside last night then you must have seen the Supermoon. It was kind of hard to miss. If you didn’t step outside, then you missed something beautiful and amazing! And you might not see the moon that bright again until 2034, resources say. As I was looking at the moon last nightContinue reading “the vastness of God.”

detours.

Detours. The funny thing about detours are that they are unexpected. They aren’t part of your original plan in getting somewhere. They are out of the way, and they are usually unfamiliar territory. But when you take a detour, you learn a new way. You learn something you’ve never known before. Detours aren’t wanted, butContinue reading “detours.”

when you can’t see the light.

I have almost hit my 4 week mark since I set out for Cambodia. And if I’m going to be completely honest with you (which I am), these have been the 4 hardest and darkest weeks of my life. I bet you were thinking that this would be some light-hearted blog about all the goodContinue reading “when you can’t see the light.”

12 months.

12 months may not seem like a very long time, but more than any year before, I’ve realized this year just how fast time goes by. AND how much can happen in just 12 short months. It’s crazy I tell you. These past 12 months have been some of the best 12 months of life.Continue reading “12 months.”

y.o.l.o.

y.o.l.o. You Only Live Once. This has become a popular slogan for my generation. But if you think about it, isn’t it true? You only have one life. That’s it. Yes, for Christians, you will live in eternity with Jesus, but you will only live on this earth once. No more. So, let me askContinue reading “y.o.l.o.”

the importance of rest.

Who knew that my surgery would teach me something. But God sure knew. In the past two weeks, since my surgery, He has shown me the importance of rest—not only physical rest but spiritual rest. He has shown me that rest is a necessity in life. In Genesis 2:2, it says “By the seventh dayContinue reading “the importance of rest.”

the next chapter.

As many of you know, my internship at Kingsland Baptist Church ends the last day of May. That means I have been praying and thinking through what my next step is. And the Lord has opened every door and made it clear to what is next. I am excited to say that… I WILL BEContinue reading “the next chapter.”

city of joy.

City of Joy. Kolkata, India. The place that has part of my heart. I think it’s funny that Kolkata’s nickname is the City of Joy. There is so much brokenness there—so much that it’s hard to process it all. Girls are being sold and trafficked. Girls are becoming child brides. There is abuse. There areContinue reading “city of joy.”

still.

Still. This word, “still”, was my word of the year for 2015. As I reflect back on 2015 and this year, I want to share with you some of the things the Lord has taught me. For a busy person like me, always on the go, “still” was not the easiest word to learn. AndContinue reading “still.”

you are loved.

You are loved. Oh precious daughter of the King. Oh precious son of the King. You are loved. Sometimes that may be hard to grasp, especially in our world today. And ESPECIALLY when the enemy has you blinded. I’ve been there. I’ve been in a place where the enemy has had me so badly blindedContinue reading “you are loved.”
