"Trust in the Lord with all your heart" Proverbs 3:5
“Courageous.” That was the word that came to me as I laid on my yoga mat, surrounded by my coworkers. Half of our monthly meeting was dedicated to self-care and time with Jesus, initiated by group yoga. Our instructor had told us to breathe in deeply and exhale out one word, one prayer, over and [...]
For a long time I’ve carried an image of the ideal person I wish to be. This person does everything right. She knows exactly who she is. She goes to bed early, she works out, spends time with God, writes every day, eats well, maintains relationships and makes everyone she knows feel loved. She is [...]
I finished a journal today*--the first journal I have ever finished front to back. It has taken me over a year to fill, and cover to cover it is full of my faith journey over the past year and three months. Its pages hold my deepest transformations, so much of what God has taught me, [...]
A few words I got from the Lord earlier in this year were “be still” and “wait.” I was in a season of worry, a season of looking frantically ahead, a season of anxiety. At the end of the spring and beginning of the summer, I kept feeling like God was setting me up for [...]
The last few months of my life has come with a lot of changes. I've gone from being a full-time student to unemployment/job searching to getting a job in a completely unexpected field for me. I would not have expected to be where I am today two months ago, and for that I am so [...]
In this past week I've gone to two women's events that addressed identity and lies. One was a larger group of women and another was a small group of friends.

This time of year is when everyone is making big goals, especially involving diet and exercise. It is that time of year when everyone seems to be trying a new diet, a new workout program, a new product for weight loss. It can be exhausting and disheartening to hear everyone talking about weight, especially when [...]
Happy New Year everyone! We are just days into a brand new year as well as a brand new decade. Now we only have to endure a few more months of "last decade," "last year," and "20/20 vision" jokes and puns. I'm sure we will all be suffering through it together. As I reflect on [...]
If you read my blog posts, follow me on any kind of social media, or even know me personally, there is about a 99% chance you've heard me talk about Delight Ministries. You've probably heard me gush about our meetings, our mission statement, and have seen me wear all the pink merch. There is a [...]
We all have had those friends that we turn to when things are rough. The friends that listen well, give the best advice, and leave us feeling loved and accepted. They are likely the people we would label as our "best friends." We have also probably experienced friendships that just felt forced. Whether the friendship [...]
