A couple weeks ago, I posted about my word for the year: still. I didn’t want to just choose a word for the year because, A.) I’m tired of making New Years Resolutions just because everyone else does and B.) I’m tired of feeling like I need to choose a word of the year because …
Don’t let the long, long, long, long, LONG list of names scare you off from reading Nehemiah 7! There’s still much to glean here. Let’s refresh: Nehemiah has just finished the wall. This is a HUGE victory. But you can’t just build a wall and then be done; walls require guarding and maintenance. We all …
It is wild how much what I’m reading in Nehemiah is aligning with all the lessons God has been teaching me over the past year. I told my mom today that last year felt like a coming of age novel, where I turned in the ideas that had gotten me to where I was . …

I read the Christmas story a couple times over the past week (both from Matthew and Luke), and it’s so cool because every year something new pops out to me. This year, it occurred to me how cool it is that God wants us to find Him. Here’s what I mean. I saw a quote …
Hey, beloved ones! I am SO excited for Christmas, so I decided to create a 24-day Christmas challenge leading up to The Big Day. Starting December 1, I’ll post a daily Bible verse on Instagram with accompanying phrases to meditate on, along with an application for you to complete if you’re up for it. And …
Hi beloved ones! I wanted to start a new series where I share ways to serve God right where you are. I’ll start off with creative talents/occupations first, because that’s my forte, but in the future I’d love to interview YOU ALL to get a take on serving God while being a teacher, nurse, etc. …
