"Girl, it's not about you.." *whispers to self for the twentieth time today* I'm sure most of you are aware of self-help books. These books are everywhere on social media and in stores, and in the minds and hearts of the countless women who have read them. Before I begin, I want to preface by… Continue reading girl, it’s not about you.
sister, sister.

white lace.
Two years ago on July 29th I found myself feeling so many emotions that I became numb as I laid in the dark quiet of my bed with one of my bridesmaids (hi, Alecia) attempting to fall asleep. I stared at the ceiling for a while, then rolled onto my side to stare at the… Continue reading white lace.
calendar curse.
Last month, I came across something that hit me like a ton of bricks as I was reading my bible. In this particular bible of mine, every few pages has some sort of supplemental quote that ties into what is being read. Well, this quote in particular held a very heavy conviction weight. "Being busy… Continue reading calendar curse.

new year, same Jesus.
When I sat down to write my post for the New Year, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to say. I had an "awesome" list of resolutions for myself and my walk with Jesus.

Now, let me… Continue reading struggle bus.
sinking sand.
You know in "The Princess Bride" (I'm just going off of my hope that you have all seen that movie, and if you haven't...inconceivable!) when Westley and Buttercup are in that crazy forest and Buttercup steps into sinking sand? She immediately sinks and disappears. Sinking sand can sometimes be fast, or it can be a… Continue reading sinking sand.
establishing my steps.
"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." - Proverbs 16:9 Throughout my relationship with my husband, Justin, I've always been asked how we met. Our story isn't a crazy or super cool one, but I love our story. I love our story because when I tell it I can… Continue reading establishing my steps.
