Happy Monday! My day began with attending a special session Liberty offered on engagement and marriage. They also had coffee from the shop located by the place I purchased my wedding gown! A lot of the information presented was helpful in reminding me of core lessons and truths I have already studied or been made [...]

Recapping My Junior Year at Liberty University
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 [...]
My New Start
Jesus is my new start. I got a new pair of shoes the other day. When I brought them home, they were squeaky clean. After one walk outside and me wearing them to navigate around the pond, dirt had made residence inside the bottom of the shoes. I came inside and started spraying the dirt [...]
Coming Softly
Hi there! Life has been taking place since I last posted on here! Today is my first day back at Liberty since Thanksgiving break. I cannot believe this semester is coming to a close! It is truly wrapping up right before me! In the time of not being as active blogging, I have been working [...]
Transformative Lessons in Summer 2021
My current writing space spills over with change, a transition, and preparation. It resembles this summer season of my life as I have been home and now get ready to head back to school. Quiet moments have been interrupted with the good gift of family. I have seen the beauty of both solitude and community. [...]
God’s “No” + Sand Castles Falling
So many times the "no" answers we receive from God are quickly ignored or quickly rejected. We want to hear a yes. “Why won’t You let this happen, God? Can’t You just approve of this schedule I have made for You to move on?” This sounds ridiculous yet you and I find ourselves asking these [...]
For Such A Time As This
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. Two little birds just perched on the patio. I am so in awe of the goodness of my God and His faithfulness. Today is August 21, 2020 and my fourth [...]
Sparks in the Dark
Have you ever felt like you are the only one investing in your walk with God, burned out, or chasing after God’s approval though your actions? My ideal time with Jesus consists of waking up, reading a devotion from my grandma Dotty’s old devotion book, studying one chapter of Scripture, and filling out three pages [...]
One Year Later // Keep Hoping
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 [...]
Detecting What is Dirty
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. Years after getting the magazine, I look back at the central [...]
