Little tidbits about how I'm seeing the Lord work daily. Come on in!
a year ago, i was pretty new to nashville. i didn’t know that many people, was really homesick for auburn and my people, and really hated grad school. while i was driving around nashville today, i started thinking about who and where i was a year ago. i’ve seen answered prayers in the friends that [...]
I woke up a couple Saturdays ago at 6:30 am to a loud crash. I thought someone was breaking in. So what did I do? Just have a panic attack laying in my bed not moving. Then, I realized I was having a nightmare. I turned over and went back to bed. Groggily, I got [...]
A Bible study that I'm walking through right now is focused on the Sermon on the Mount. I've read this section of passages a million times, but something about diving deeper and slowing down to read such a monumental moment in the Bible has taught me more than I could imagine. In the Bible there [...]
I heard this question asked on a podcast the other day, and I paused: What if 2020 WAS for me? I've viewed it as a tough, rough year, as we all probably have. But here's the thing: maybe it was time to plant a new crop. I can speak for myself when I say what [...]
Each year we're either growing more into who God created us to be or running further and further away from Him and His sovereign plan. I know we're walking into a lot of unexpected situations, but God will provide us with not only instruction but also provision. Read more below! PS, sorry it's been a while. Took a bit of a break after finishing grad school!
I'm a huge e-calendar fan. It's a somewhat newfound love; I just discovered the magic of it back when I began grad school.
In August, I walked into a classroom with 30 kids that were pretty much strangers, sat down, and began the fun dance of "where you from, where'd you go for undergrad, what was your major?" Classmate after classmate told me their major was business, finance, accounting, etc. I felt like a fish out of water. [...]
I live in a really old house in Nashville. I mean really old. Built in 1928, our dear girl has a few issues. So far we have had one of our toilets completely replaced, a bug infestation (actually might have been rats but for the sake of my sanity I'm just gonna keep saying bugs), [...]
It’s really hard to navigate what’s safe to do anymore. Who is it okay to be around? Can you trust that the people around you have been safe and smart with their decisions in order to protect themselves and you from getting COVID-19? I think it’s hard knowing I can’t control what everyone else is doing; therefore, I don’t know who I can trust to be around. Read more below!
We love to worry. Well, we hate to worry, still we do it. We worry and it doesn't change anything. It just makes me overthink what is out of control. "Relinquish power to the Creator of the universe," I have to tell myself over and over. I cannot control a pandemic; however, I can control the way I act during this season. The problem here is I feel like we don't know what to do with these moments of pressing pause. We were running 100 mph and now we are forced to go the speed limit. The voices surrounding us have been limited, so we fill our mind with our own anxiety-ridden voice.
