Most of us have been taught to bow our heads in prayer. But what if the power we seek isn’t beneath us – but above? “I lift my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of Heaven and Earth.” Psalm 121:1-2 I noticedContinue reading “Lift Your Eyes”

Input = Output
I’ve been thinking a lot about some changes I need to start making in my life. One of the largest issues I’m faced with, and many others are faced with too, is the intake of media. I spend so much time mindlessly scrolling or watching shows, that it affects my mood and ability to connectContinue reading “Input = Output”
How to Be Content
I wish I knew the answer on being constantly content. It feels almost impossible to live in the moment unless we’re in a moment of pure bliss. Otherwise, we’re in the mundane or in a harsh season, wishing our life away. It’s so much easier to plan for the future rather than sit in theContinue reading “How to Be Content”
Performing at Carnegie Hall
I was sitting at my desk, as I reached a hand across to answer my ringing phone. “Guess who’s flying to New York City!?” My parents surprised me, as they recounted how I had made it into The True North Choir. I was absolutely shocked. I would graduate from the University of Washington and thenContinue reading “Performing at Carnegie Hall”
Poetry: Fragments of Her Orbit
She builds a mosaic across the nebula of her orbit. The scope is held to her orb, allowing her to capture the sudden eclipse. She allows herself to lend an ear to the unheard, sonorous pieces of herself. A violinist’s bow apart from the instrument leads an estranged life. The white keys of a grandContinue reading “Poetry: Fragments of Her Orbit”
Pray For Protection
I’ve been thinking about the word protection recently and what that means. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word protection means “the supervision or support of one that is smaller and weaker.” In the Bible, protection is talked about in many ways. We are called to put on the armor of God to protect againstContinue reading “Pray For Protection”
He Washed Feet
Something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently is Jesus’ response to death. Jesus knew He was going to die. And what did He do on His last day? He washed feet (John 13:1-17). Wow. That’s an incredibly selfless gesture. I feel like many of us have pondered this question: what would you do ifContinue reading “He Washed Feet”
Fishes & Loaves
I’ve been without any inspiration or motivation to write for almost a year now. It’s been weird but also eye opening. I started my new job last week at a Christian University and something suddenly clicked, and I gained my love for writing back. You see, there was a lot of hesitation and confusion whenContinue reading “Fishes & Loaves”
Who Are You Trying To Please?
I recently stumbled across this quote that my dad had told me: “If you’re only trying to please Jesus then it releases the burden and allows us to truly be who we can be since He gives us unconditional love.” What a relief it is to be known by God. He knows everything about youContinue reading “Who Are You Trying To Please?”
Valley of the Shadow of Death
Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” This verse has been the verse I cling to in the darkest valleys, on the brightest mountain tops, and everywhere in-between. I haveContinue reading “Valley of the Shadow of Death”
