it is well. As long as I can remember, I’ve desired control. Desire probably isn’t even the right word—I’ve sought control. I’ve always said this urge for control is both my one of my greatest strengths and my greatest weakness.  On this side of heaven, sometimes the desire for control can be a strength—if itContinue reading “it is well.”

“I have to find my word of the year.” Does anyone else feel the pressure surrounding that statement?  One word. For the entire year!  [Now, a lot of people find this silly.

Hello friends. It’s been a minute. Over the past few months, I have walked through so much. I have been thoroughly challenged, pushed past where I thought I could go—physically and mentally—and I have learned so much about myself that I honestly was not ready to sit down and process it all until now.

Focus. I woke up at 5:40am this morning all of a sudden and had this immense feeling that I needed to start writing.  But I wasn’t sure what exactly I was supposed to be writing. Last year, I had decided my word for the year by the second day of the year (see Patience).  Honestly,Continue reading “Focus.”

Hi friends, it’s been a minute.  I don’t like the saying “life has just gotten busy for me lately” because I feel like that’s just an excuse to miss out on the good stuff, but in all honesty, life has been really busy lately.  Junior year is hard!!!  But it has also been busy withContinue reading “privilege and preparation // lessons from Esther”
