Encountering Trial
“Count it ALL JOY, my brothers when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” This past season of my life...
Is Love Acceptance?
Recently, I’ve been noticing things in myself that I want to change, whether it’s little things or big things, and I began to realize that I notice them because they’ve been brought to my attention through life events and God’s guiding. I was driving to work just this...
Social
I love social media. I’m a huge advocate for it. I think it is an extremely powerful tool that can be fun. I think it can be a skill; I think you can reach people through it that you wouldn't reach otherwise. I believe it can help make a huge impact. How are people...
World Changers?

Divine Intervention

New Year, New Me
Never in my life have I ever felt more in my soul the saying “New Year, New Me.” I actually had to reign myself back in yesterday realizing that just because the clock changes from 11:59pm to 12:00am does NOT mean my whole life will be different. But I am SO fully...
