June 4th… Say what?!!?! My blog friends… it’s been a while! To my subscribers – thank you for sticking around and bearing with me in a busy season of navigating screen burnout, working from home, and newly married life! I must say that it has all been wonderful over here. Johnny and I can’t put …
…and our first quarantined Easter! And, I pray, last. Not because it was a bad weekend… it was anything but. It’s the weekend we get to celebrate Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection – the fact that God came to dwell perfectly in a human, died for our sins, so that we could live freely for …
I was taking a nap after church today when I found myself with a notebook and pen in front of me. Before I knew it, the word “Loved” was written on the page. Writing it had felt involuntary, and reading it made me feel really doubtful. Loved. Did I know that I was loved? Believe …

The buzz of my alarm greeted my ears this morning at 5:30AM, and I found myself instantly missing waking up with the sunrise time on the daily for work. As I have transitioned out of a three-and-a-half-year period of working at coffee shops just this past week, it has not taken long for me to …
