My love works with a missions organization that serves on college campuses. Now that we are joining lives, I will also be a part of this ministry. Which is great, because college age students happen to be one of my favorites to work with, in life and in ministry. Tuesday night, we were at a … Continue reading Comparison

New Direction!
I believe I've shared on this blog (and if not, I have on my personal blog), that I am recently engaged. In two short weeks to be married. As I have taken a break from writing and other things in the past 3 months, God has been working in my heart. When I first started … Continue reading New Direction!
Value
One of my greatest goals is to help others recognize their own value. Because, somewhere along the way, I have realized: When you recognize your own value, it gets harder to allow others to devalue you. This is something I am currently walking through, recognizing what I can bring to the table. Recognizing my value … Continue reading Value
When the World Burns

When God created people in the garden long ago & said we weren't meant to be alone, it wasn't just about romantic relationships. … Continue reading Reflecting Him

I've read several articles about "functional" anxiety and depression...though, by definition, anxiety and depression impair functioning... However, in today's world, we recognize we still have to somehow live our lives... When people picture anxiety and depression, they often imagine the extremes. We picture that commercial where depression is the robe that never leaves us. Or we … Continue reading A Rose by Any Other Name…
Five Minute Friday – Empty
Ministry? It's not about the whole, it's about the broken. It's not about the full. It's about the empty.
Spiritual Self-care
The longer I'm on this path God has led me down, the more passionate I become about self-care. But, self-care goes so much deeper than just manicures & pedicures (though, those can be nice...got a manicure today myself). We are made up of body, soul, spirit. We have to take care of ourselves a whole … Continue reading Spiritual Self-care
Purpose – Redemption
So, what's this all about? Purpose.
