Have you ever looked around and thought “Man. Everyone seems like they know what they’re doing. Everyone has a purpose but me.” Sometimes what we see can be deceiving. We look around at people going to college, going on mission trips, getting their dream jobs, and just overall being successful in life. But it canContinue reading “Finding Your Path”

Finding Stability Among Seasons of Transition
We go through phases in our life when one thing ends and another begins. Sometimes these transitions can be marked by a graduation, and sometimes the wind blows back with a misting of change. During seasons of transition, it’s important to remember where you came from and where you are headed. Because although change isContinue reading “Finding Stability Among Seasons of Transition”
My Graduation Letter
I’m graduating from high school this week and I simply cannot believe how fast these past few years flew by. Just yesterday I was entering through the doors of the old high school as a Freshman. I sat down in my checkered dress and thought about how hard I would have to work the nextContinue reading “My Graduation Letter”
Poetry: Morning
I wrote this poem when I was either 13 or 14, and it was published in the Brio magazine the following year (when I was 15). I thought I should end the poetry series with a poem that changed the trajectory of not only my writing career, but possibly my life. The glint of sunContinue reading “Poetry: Morning”
Poetry: Wildflower
He picked you for a reason you’re more worthy than you know. Every flowers different, your story has yet to be told. You are a wildflower by nature, you grow where you like. But only through the Father will you blossom in full might.

We begin to understand just how much God has to offer us. We get to experience love. True love. Love in its beautiful,Continue reading “Poetry: Let Go and Let God”
Poetry: A New Heart
You speared me from the depths; piercing my wound. You pulled me up from below; how I hated you. I could feel every tug, I was broken. But your light showed me love and I took it. Sinking couldn’t heal, breaking made me whole. My heart needed to shatter so that you could give meContinue reading “Poetry: A New Heart”
Poetry: The Kingdom of Heaven
Stand before the King himself. Bubbling joy spurts from the soul. Angelic beings float above. Grace abounds in enveloping love. Questions of ‘whether’s, what if’s, and am I’s’ coming together to form ‘I tried.’ Knowing sprouts from the base. “Lord, I come to take up my place.” Carry my burdens, my cross, and mistakes. SpreadingContinue reading “Poetry: The Kingdom of Heaven”
This Moment: Mental Health
Maybe you can believe that God has a plan for you through your relationships or lack of one, through your workplace or time of unemployment, and through the stage of life you are currently in. But maybe you don’t see Gods plan when it comes to your mental health. How can God give you thisContinue reading “This Moment: Mental Health”
This Moment: Stage of Life
Each stage of life has its own obstacles and struggles. But each stage also has its own moments of achievement and possibility. So whether you are in grade school, in college, emerging into the real world, are settling down, have been settled down, are watching your own kids go through these stages or perhaps evenContinue reading “This Moment: Stage of Life”
