Faith, Adventure, and the Oxford Comma
This past Christmas I did the majority of my shopping online for the first time ever. While it was easy and convenient there is a certain level of risk. Will the packages arrive on time? Will I be satisfied with the product? When my niece's gift arrived, to my disappointment, it was too small. At … Continue reading The Gift of Giving
At long last, The Honeycomb has opened for business. It is the manifestation of a vision 10 years in the making. The Honeycomb is a coffee stand owned and operated by my church and I am the first official barista. There are days when I feel like a lowly barista. I ask myself, "What am … Continue reading Let Go and Grow
Change the world one world at a time. Even if that world is your own; because a single drop in a lake still makes ripples.
It's been a while since I've posted anything so I'll just do an update on what's been happening with me. I also didn't realize how much time had passed since my last post. I was asked to participate in two different STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) events in October. The first event was speaking to … Continue reading Irons in the Fire
I googled the word "trust" in search of a pic to use for my trust series. The majority of the images were of people doing trust falls. Some of the outcomes looked promising, others, not so much.

I'm beginning a series of posts on trust. The words faith and trust can be used interchangeably when referring to God. I'm getting to the thick of my journey where learning to trust is crucial. This is an ongoing process that can't be covered in one post. Follow me as I share what I've learned.
This past week has been full of unexpected blessings. I started off the week by setting some long and short-term goals and planning out each week one day at a time. When I filled in all the things I knew I was going to do or had to do, I noticed that I had so … Continue reading When Things Fall Together
I work in my church's cafe three days a week now. Technically it's a volunteer position but it's definitely work none the less. I get to keep my tips but it's nowhere near the income I'm accustomed to. It's okay though because one dollar is better than no dollar. It's also different work than I'm … Continue reading Ps and Qs
I did something this week that I hadn't planned on doing for a while. I applied for an engineering job (insert dramatic music). I'm at the point in my journey where I need to be making some money. My brother may be moving in with me and one of us needs to bring home some … Continue reading Buying In vs. Selling Out
Well my two weeks of scheduled activity are over. I got my last pay check weeks ago. Time to start looking for a job. Fortunately I got paid for all my unused vacation so I'll be okay for the next month or so but it's time to get on the grind. After volunteering at vacation … Continue reading Something
