The Past Few Months: My Testimony

This post is going to be a little different than my others. Instead of talking about what God is teaching me, I am going to tell you all what He has done in my life the past few months. I debated on typing this up and posting it, because I do not want it to…

Get Out of the Waiting Room

This post has been a long time coming. God has put it on my heart since January and I finally gave Him enough time to show me what He meant. This post is a follow up to the one before it, so go read Lack of Faith in a Hard Season! I mentioned comparison in…

Lack of Faith in a Hard Season

The story of Lazarus has been everywhere for me the past couple weeks. You’d think I was exaggerating by saying I’ve heard it at least 10 times the past month…I’m not exaggerating. So, I figured I should probably go read it for myself and see what God was trying to get me to understand. I’ll…

The Dwelling Place

A couple of mornings ago, I was reading in Haggai and the Lord gave me something so good to share! I recommend reading Haggai 1:2-11 but here is a little summary. Basically, Haggai was a minor prophet who went to Judah and talked about how the people were saying it was not the right time…

The Lies of a Waiting Period

Lately, I have been coming to terms that I am in a waiting period. A not-so-fun, very frustrating waiting period. It is hard to wait for something that you want so badly. Like a child with the Christmas present at the top of their list, the daily desire for coffee when you are struggling to…

A Word for the Doubting Mind

On June 24th there was a really cool celestial event where 4 planets (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) and the moon all lined up in the correct order. You could see it best at 45 minutes before sunrise and I was determined to see it. Here is what I wrote upon observing this beautiful scene:…

Encouragment for the Grieving Heart

In times if darkness, lost hope, devastation, or anger…where there is no understanding…where you can’t see the way out, I pray the Lord surrounds you and that you feel His nearness. He weeps with you as the rain falls. He welcomes your anger, your questions of why. He, in time, will provide understanding and insurmountable…

A Step of Faith

One of my goals for this New Year is to seek out vulnerability and so in the spirit of vulnerability, here we go! I didn’t post any blogs last year. It wasn’t because I needed a break, or I stopped writing. It’s because I suddenly cared what other people thought of me. I was nervous…

Slovenia & Croatia

Day One Well, I was told we were leaving close to 7 this morning and it ended up being more like 8:30/9. But, our 7-hour drive to Slovenia went well! We drove through Austria, so I saw Vienna from the interstate. Definitely not the same as going, so that just means I’ll have to go…

Czechia

Day One I really do not know how I stayed awake this whole day. My flight left Tel Aviv at 12:30 AM and got into Dubai at 4:15 AM. It was still surprisingly busy at that time, so I decided to get a day pass to the Emirates Business Lounge. It was the best idea…

Israel

Day One This morning we took a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. It was absolutely breathtaking, and to think of how much of Jesus’ ministry was done around it/on it. It sadly was not what I was expecting. I was expecting a time of peace and reflection. Instead, it was loud music, dancing,…

Jordan

This marks the beginning of my travels. I am sitting in the Dulles Airport waiting for my flight to Jordan. It feels surreal. I was nervous when I got to the Nashville Airport, and I teared up when I hugged my dad goodbye. It kind of felt the same as going off to college. I…
