Come What May
No one could have foreseen what this year had in store. We started with such hopeful anticipation,But within a breath, we felt unstable to our very core.Fear and anger soon outgrew our imagination.

The Unicorn in the Room
When the time came for the Q&A, my hand shot up. I had focused so intently on the content that I had completely forgotten my surroundings.

Moving…my Story
A move-most people experience a few of those in their lives. I have in fact experienced more than a few. Saturday I packed up all of my belongings and set off on the 20th move in my life. For anyone, that might seem like a lot, but as I am 28, this seems especially daunting.…

Finished a First!
These past ten weeks I have had the privilege of leading a women’s Bible study from a book called Seasons of Waiting. I was pretty nervous at the beginning- I have never done anything like this! Yet, this was such a joy and gift to spend the time studying through God’s Word. He has great…
