I’ve never been a person who has been completely obsessed by social media. I have enjoyed it as a means to the end of keeping up with friends I have, and then later, I was able to use it for purposes of ministry. I met some amazing people, I’ve gained new skills, and I’ve learned […]

Roller coasters are not my favorite thing to do. In fact, even the supposedly calm ones cause my stomach to tie up in knots and sit in my throat. I don’t think I qualify for adventurous ever! I feel like I’ve been on the worlds biggest, longest never ending roller coaster over the last few […]

During this pandemic in our world, it is so hard to know what life will look like from one week to the next week. I am a planner by nature. If we go on vacation, I want it fairly mapped out what we are doing and when. I even schedule rest breaks. Not a ton […]

At times, I would even feel despair thinking there was no way that these requests would ever get answered. I prayed and prayed. I read books and studies Christian authors on the subjects of my prayers, […]

I started writing at the beginning of the covid-19 journey with hope and trust. I wrote about how I had been quarantined before and I came out fine. I was a bit naive. I haven’t written a word in weeks. I haven’t really known what to say. First, it was a virus in far away […]

I was writing quite a bit at the beginning of this pandemic. It was full of hope, and how I had made it through quarantine before, so I knew everything would turn out fine. But two solid weeks of being home, my perspective has shifted a little bit. And I am rather ashamed to even […]
