This post was originally published on my church’s blog. We have all been “single.” Every single one of us lives at least a part of this life on earth “single” – without a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. The length of time, number of different seasons, and weightiness of those seasons differs from person to person, but this is …
Bringing a new, beautiful, wonderful, compassionate person into an eating disorder is like the downhill part of a rollercoaster. There’s so much relief and joy and butterflies… but a nagging voice of fear, the voice belonging to the disorder itself. How will I avoid eating with him? What if I can’t measure my food when …
My husband and I are 6 months into marriage. We’re 24 and 22 years old with no kids and work-from-home jobs after long distance. We certainly can’t speak to married life with kids – although I do know that that will, God willing, change our schedules, the amount of time we have for one-on-one dates …
Something that has broken my heart and stirred up so much passion in me is for the struggles I have heard couples explain going through during this quarantined season. I’ve seen messages like, “If I don’t want to kill my spouse after this quarantine, I know I’ve succeeded,” or, “We’re just trying to make it …

You smile to yourself, feeling that euphoric, passionate, life-is-good-because-God-is-good emotion that translates to excitement to spend time with Jesus. You know He’s going to meet you where you are– which happens to be your …
I’ve done a couple posts like this before, in which I write about why “everyone deserves a friend like___.” Today, I’m talking about a friend like Brooke. Brooke is one of my co-workers at Pure JBK, and has quickly become a close friend. From the day I started working at Pure, Brooke made me feel …
Much of today’s musings are inspired by a wonderful message preached by Pastor Mike Rutledge at Risen City church yesterday, where Jesus met me in my own worries, stress, and anxieties and revealed newness to me as His Spirit does, starting when I so loudly heard His voice that it was deafening, above all and …
Hello Friends!! Long time no blog. I have missed sitting to write. How I feel my soul has been needing to sit and let the words flow in pen and paper. Or, more accurately, finger tip and keyboard. And, friends, this song share is my theme song right now. I want to start this post …
If I had a bucket list of things I wanted to accomplish, something that would be at the top of it is becoming more flexible. I got this tattoo that says “dance” two years ago. While, looking back, I don’t think I’d get it again, at the time it meant several things to me, one …
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 I’ve been thinking a lot about the Biblical merit for not being in “comfort” zones. What is “comfort?” The Word says that HE is my comfort (Jeremiah 8:18). …
