This one is LONG overdue, and I absolutely love telling it, but aside from a condensed version on our wedding website, I’ve never written my and my husband’s love story. I was always trying to write what I thought would be my “love” story in my journals growing up, but the other person was never… Read More Our Love Story
About this time every year, I see prayer lists for back to school circulating the internet, and this year I wanted to create my own. This will be my fifth year teaching, and though I haven’t been at this thing nearly as long as my veteran colleagues, I know that we need prayers now more… Read More 9 Back to School Prayers
This morning, I woke up, went on a run, showered, and then I wrote this in my journal: God, I’m mad at You. Yesterday went to trash so quick and I want to believe You are good but I’m struggling. Why did my friend’s dad have to test positive for COVID? Why did our house… Read More I’m mad at God.
Lately, I’ve tried to be more intentional with my prayer life. When a friend will tell me something specific to pray for, I will stop in that moment and audibly pray.

All teachers are in year one again in many ways, desperately trying to adapt… Read More Teaching in a Pandemic
Disclaimer: I am NOT a health expert! This is just my personal experience with health and fitness. This story begins with my decision to remove myself from social media. Read more about my reasons and the effects being off social media has had on my life since 2018 on Maggie’s blog. While I did feel… Read More I LOST 1/4 OF MY BODY WEIGHT IN 9 MONTHS!
This is long overdue. My blog is not active. I’m not on social media to promote myself. Maybe it doesn’t matter. It’s a rainy evening after the first day of (virtual) school, and I’m listening to Piano in the Background. Grad school homework is calling my name, but my blog (really, God) has been calling… Read More Then
Check out my guest post on my best friend Maggie’s blog here.
Anything I have to say won’t do the video above justice. I ventured out of my written-word comfort zone and tried my hand at video editing using iMovie. By no means do I consider myself a pro, BUT I had footage from our wedding day and I really wanted to create something special for my… Read More My Wedding Video | June 30, 2018
