"Trust in the Lord with all your heart" Proverbs 3:5
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 [...]
On Monday I started not what would just be just my last "year," but my last ever semester of undergrad. Having completed all of my required classes, I'll be graduating early this coming December. With that in mind, starting classes this week felt a little surreal. It is hard for me to believe that in [...]
With school starting and summer coming to a close, the season of relaxation is also coming to its end. For many this means more stress, less time, and a lasting search to find something that will relieve that stress in those small windows of time. A never ending cycle, it seems like. And year round [...]
With birthdays, it doesn't always feel like anything is different once your special day has come and gone. You feel like pretty much the same person from the eve-of to the day-after.

Far from the kinds of quizzes I used to take within the pages of teen magazines, the Delight quiz gets to the heart of who you are and how you function in—and out—of relationships. There are six personality types: Independent, Romantic, Flirt, Rescuer, Cautious, [...]
Today is Easter. Today is Easter and my Savior has risen from the dead, washing me clean. I am so blessed and undeserving of His grace, and yet I receive it in full. This year Easter seems to mean so much more to me. I have grown so much in my faith the last few [...]
This past week has been a whirlwind of events and emotions for me. At times I felt better than I have in months and at times I felt worse than I have in a while. I'll give a quick rundown of what has gone on this week: Monday: I was offered an internship position with [...]
Sometimes we feel like the gray slush on the sides of the road after a snow storm. Our insides sink to the pit of our stomach and waves of hurt throb through our chest. We feel, well, gray, trampled on, and pushed aside. Like slush. We’ve all been there; we’ve all felt that pain. Whether [...]
