It’ll be sunny.

I spent the month of January in a bit of solitude. Slowing down. Having long conversations with my counselor. Journaling. Taking laps through my neighborhood both in Nashville and my parents house. Spilling secrets that kept me separated from the people I love. Staring at myself in mirrors and learning to accept the lines on … Continue reading It’ll be sunny. →

Til the barren is beautiful

I sat down with a friend this week with soup and chocolate chip cookies to catch up on life over the past three months. Something about winter makes for a good environment to go deeper. To say the things that seem scary and scream "too much". So we sat and poured out the parallels and … Continue reading Til the barren is beautiful →

I’ve been hungry for three weeks

If you've looked at my Instagram story … Continue reading Seasons without Striving →

What happens when our flesh desires something other than what God has laid out for us? Is it a sin to mourn what could have been? My flesh … Continue reading A thorn in my side →

Redemptive Vulnerability

I'm not good at making mistakes. That's a weird statement, isn't it? I honestly don't let myself make mistakes. It's because when I do, I treat it like WWIII has broken out and I am the sole reason. I'm good at over apologizing and beating myself up for days over a minute issue. This past … Continue reading Redemptive Vulnerability →

Greenery, Cold Coffee and a Hannah Brencher Realization

I remember the exact month I was the most in love with God. It was April 2016 and my college group was discussing the book of Jonah on Monday nights. Every Monday I'd bawl my eyes out at Cornerstone because I couldn't believe just how much God was speaking to me and it was painful. … Continue reading Greenery, Cold Coffee and a Hannah Brencher Realization →
