Junior year of college is over. My emotions over the year captivate the thought of change. At the beginning of my Resident Shepherd ministry training in August, I was shaken to focus on my identity as a daughter in Jesus above any other role I am given as an ambassador for Him. My mission was [...]
One vivid memory I have from my childhood is of me standing on my front porch. I had called my best friend, gotten our moms to confirm our plans, and stood on my porch expectantly waiting to see her mom’s car pull into my driveway. Even before my friend sometimes left her home, I would [...]
Perfection was God’s original design for the world. He created humans in the setting of perfection. This explains why the images on my home Pinterest board consist of decorated and tidy spaces. My innate need for perfection often comes out in obsessive organizing or feeling like the growth of friendships rests in my hands. Since [...]

I am currently sitting outdoors at Liberty University’s library coffee shop. College students and some parents are walking, riding bikes, and driving cars onto campus.

It has officially been one year since I graduated from high school. I remember that day so vividly. Expectancy, hope, and uncertainties rushed all around me. I was giddy. I remember getting ready June 1, 2019 wearing my new pink colorful dress with my new black high-heeled wood shoes. My grandparents were the first people [...]
I recently came inside from reading through a magazine issue on my family’s front porch. As a high school girl who followed the blog of Mary Kate Robertson, I desired to get Issue 11 of Deeply Rooted. Mary Kate was interviewed in this issue.
