“Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” —Psalm 27:14 There’s a lot in my life that happens unexpectedly. And when things don’t go as planned, I start to panic. I am a huge planner. I think making lists is insanely fun, and having every aspect of my life […]

Why is it that whenever I go to social media, I feel insignificant afterwards? Why does it seem that, especially online, people have better, more exciting lives than I do? Why is it so hard being content? I can’t help but often feel that pang of jealousy…inadequacy…comparison stealing my joy. But perhaps this is just […]

It’s okay to be normal. I’ve realized lately how much society pushes for individuality.

It’s rather alarming how quickly this winter is going by, but I can’t necessarily say that I’ll be disappointed when this season is over. The cold nights and early sun sets have never been things I particularly have ever longed for. My heart can’t wait for the days to return where I can go bare […]
