The title of this blog might be confusing. “Isn’t marriage a good thing? Aren’t you passionate about it?” Well, yes, and yes. But I’m writing this blog because marriage itself is not something to “chase after.” I am anguished by both the insanely high divorce rate that is the reality of the Western world, and …
Rejoicing. Absolutely rejoicing. This has been my goal for so long: getting two periods in a row. Well, to be precise, my GOAL has been to get three in a row… but, you can’t get three without the first two, and I haven’t missed less than 3 months between periods in just about 8 years, …
Good Wednesday! It’s been a while since I’ve had even a moment to update you here, but today I am finally able to sit down and write a bit about something that has been on my heart to share for some time: Multiple Streams of Income. Since graduating uni a few short months ago, I …

I had just told myself university would not be the time for a boy. But God knew differently. I noticed Johnny Fulford the moment I sat down in my Tuesday afternoon “Public Faith and Theology” class. He was smilely, shy-looking, and downright handsome. When the professor asked us students to share our names, and a …
This semester, I have been fortunate enough to take Biblical Greek with one of the greatest professors I have ever had. The following is part of my final assignment for this class, and I wanted to share it here, because I am truly blown away by the knowledge I’ve gained from this class. Can I …

Today’s post is all about double majoring. Why did I decide to complete my undergrad as a double Major? What are the pros and cons of this? Who I recommend it to?
