Poland: God Will Use Your Yes

A week ago today I was just getting back from my week-long mission trip to Poland. The trip wasn’t what I expected but I experienced way more than I ever thought I would.

It’s Okay To Not Be Okay

“I wanted to punish myself for feeling broken,” I told my friend over the phone. Do you ever feel broken? Like so stuck in your hurt that you feel as if there’s nowhere left to go?

It Happened For Me

Struggles are a part of life. Trials and tribulations will come. Although we don’t have control of what happens to us, we can take back control over what we do with the trials that come our way.

Two weeks ago I had the privilege of attending the first NowGen bootcamp ran by the Women’s Speaker Collective. At the end of the week, each girl was instructed to write a word on this large sheet.

How do you feel about this statement? : We only see the beginning and the end. We know where we came from because we all have a past. And for most of us, we have a dream of where we want to end up. However, we have no middle. We don’t know what’s next orContinue reading “Trust the Rainbow”
