It’s that time of year again: Back to school is in full swing, leaving me nostalgic for the smell of newly-sharpened pencils, the feel of new sneakers, first day of school pictures, and all of the excitement and anxiousness that come with the brand-new school year. Now that I’m no longer a student, the start […]

At 8:42AM on August 3rd, 2018 sweet Maria Guadalupe officially made me an aunt for the first time!! The first time I got to hold Maria I was moved to tears at how beautiful the gift of life really is. The fact that my baby sister carried her for 9 months and suddenly here she […]

Have you ever read a story in the Bible that was so relatable it could have been written about you? A story where, if you substituted your name in, everything would still make sense? When I returned home from our mission trip in Peru, I realized that my encounter deeply paralleled an encounter that Jesus’ […]

I didn’t want to go on a mission trip. I have never been a real big traveler. I have always been perfectly happy at home with the people I love, just enjoying the everyday parts of life. I knew friends in college who studied abroad and “just had to travel,” and I didn’t understand them. […]

I have been falling in love with some incredibly beautiful podcasts, blogs, and videos lately, and since I was introduced to each of these by some dear friends in my life, I want to return the favor by passing them along to you! They have really spoken powerful and beautiful truths to my heart, and […]

“Do one thing every day that scares you” -Eleanor Roosevelt Can you believe Lent is here already?! I can’t believe how much it has snuck up on me. It feels like yesterday we were putting the Christmas decorations up! I have been spending the last couple days really praying and trying to figure out what […]

17 dead. When will these senseless mass shootings stop? Parkland Florida, Las Vegas, Orlando, Sandy Hook… the list goes on and on. When I heard another shooting took place, I immediately got super angry. How can someone think they have the right to end someone else’s life? Or was it a mental illness that went […]
