Growing up, I was always the “inviter” friend. I was the one who sent the text, made the plan, and asked people to come over. Birthday parties, weekend hangouts, coffee dates, I initiated almost all of them. And for a long time, I didn’t think much of it. I just assumed that was my role. […]

Do you ever feel like you aren’t good enough to serve the Lord? Maybe you feel like you don’t know enough scripture or you feel like everyone around you has a “better” relationship with Jesus. I think we all have moments in our lives where we feel unqualified to spread the good news of Jesus. […]

This year has been the most challenging year I have walked through yet. There have been so many times where all I could say was “Why God?” And if you have ever gone through anything difficult, you have probably heard the phrase “It is all in God’s plan.”  While this is completely true, I see […]

Hey girl, let me talk to you a little bit about anxiety and the part it has played in my walk with God. First of all, I want to be clear that anxiety is not something I have sought attention for outside of the realm of those around me. It is not a diagnosis and […]

Do you feel like you’re facing one trial after another? Nothing seems to ever go your way? Could you describe yourself as a “modern-day Job?” Then friend, you are in good company.

When I first started college, I thought I could do it all. I wanted to be the girl who had straight A’s, a thriving social life, and a deep relationship with Jesus. I wanted to work hard, make money, and still have time for long Bible studies and coffee with friends. Four years later, I’ve […]

To the girl who senses God calling her to let go, but fear keeps holding her back — I see you. I know what it’s like to shape your whole world around others, to feel small under their expectations, to feel unworthy, to stay because leaving feels impossible. For years, I lived that way. My […]

If I’ve learned anything this past year, it’s that feeling behind doesn’t mean you are – it usuallymeans God is preparing something you just can’t see yet. I used to carry that pressure quietly.

School was a battlefield, and I was always the soldier left behind. Math, language arts, the whole system, they felt like foreign languages to me.
