“If you’re someone who works out all the time and eats really healthily—what’s wrong with that? That’s a good thing…right?” In the latest episode of my church’s podcast, The Cast, I had the opportunity to share my journey with 4 different eating disorders, and the freedom Jesus alone brought me to. You can listen to the …
This blog post was originally published on my church blog, right over here. In today’s society, marriage often gets a bad reputation. Roughly 40% of marriages in Canada end in divorce, and, as the world becomes more and more saturated in “free sexuality” culture, the desire to be committed to one person for a lifetime …

Last weekend, for Valentine’s Day, Johnny had the idea to read our wedding vows to each other, and also to get them framed. I was so excited about it, and, of course, cried when we read them to each other like I did on that special day. Rereading them sparked passion in me for a …

Ah, winter. It’s never been my favourite season; I’m not gonna lie. I’ve never liked outdoor sports of any kind, I despise being cold, it takes a bit more effort to go for runs/walks, and, well, it’s not cottage season. However, if there’s one thing I like about winter, it’s the excuse to cozy up …
Johnny and I celebrated our first anniversary a few weeks ago, and I truly can’t believe we have been married for over a year! It’s been, of course, one of the strangest years of my life… but also, I have to say, the best year of my life, mostly because I’ve gotten to do it …

I’ve written a lot about heaven recently. The Bible tells us that believers are “born from above,” and that we’re a lot more related to Heaven than we often think we are. It’s easiest to look around and see what’s right in front of us rather than seeing Truth beyond that; the Truth that “our …
