Faith, Adventure, and the Oxford Comma
I recently took a step and ordered business cards. It's something I've been wanting to do for quite some time. I was gifted a beautifully engraved card case about a year ago that I take out of the box and just hold from time to time even though it was empty. Each time I would … Continue reading First Steps First
As I was perusing a used bookstore a while ago when a particular book caught my eye. Truth be told I wasn't exactly perusing, I was on a mission. I'm the type of person that can walk into the mall or Walmart and get exactly what I came for and not even stop to look at … Continue reading Reaching for the Top
If you've ever been to my house you know that my backyard is a hot mess; treacherous if you will. I have weeds back there as tall as I am. Not that I'm all that tall but that's pretty tall for vegetation. I've been saying I'm going to get it landscaped since I moved in … Continue reading Blackberry Molasses
To commemorate my 1 year anniversary of resigning, I decided to reflect on the past year. I know a lot has happened but I can't recall most of it off the top of my head. One of the enemy's tactics is making us forget because there is power in remembering. Remembering what the Lord has … Continue reading A Year to Remember

I guess it's safe to say that trust is associated with falling. I have pretty quick reflexes so … Continue reading A Lesson in Trust: The Free-fall of Faith
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
The decision to leave my job may seem rash to some but I assure you, it wasn't. It was several weeks of praying, listening, and seeking. If you are thinking about leaving your job I would encourage you to do the same. People have commented on my faith and courage but to be honest no … Continue reading Living on Purpose for Purpose
For the past few months I've been on a quest to find my purpose. What am I supposed to be doing with my life? Most days it's work, church, rinse and repeat. I was stuck in a cycle, feeling like I wasn't going anywhere. I was in my comfort zone. Deep inside I felt like … Continue reading The Right Amount of Crazy
