thoughts about faith, love and life from a wandering heart
Over the last 12 months, I have found myself making the trip between Kansas City and Manhattan more times that I can count. This stretch of I-70 is an easy drive and prime opportunity for me to catch up on my favorite podcasts. I've always found that the more content I'm able to ingest, the... Continue Reading →
Obligatory marriage reflection post coming your way! Riley and I will be celebrating our FOURTH wedding anniversary on September 5, and here I find myself really excited about writing this post with absolutely no idea what I'm going to say.

I have recently been learning, growing and experiencing a breakthrough in my walk with Jesus. I am so excited to share a few words with you tonight, because I am honestly just feeling overwhelmingly grateful!

Since moving into my parents house almost two months ago (wow!) my morning and evening commute has doubled. Instead of being able to leave my apartment and drive 12 minutes to work, it now takes me 25 minutes, on a good day. Besides having to fill up my gas tank more, I really don't have...

Hey friends, I'm emerging from the shadows this evening after a month-long hiatus from blogging. I've had my laptop since my senior year of high school and my charger just finally decided to quit on me. Bummer! So, today my knock-off Apple charger arrived on my doorstep and I am STOKED about it.

Hey, remember that one time I committed to writing two new blog posts each month and then the month of May happened? Yep. I could begin writing out a long list of excuses as to why I haven't been keeping up with my blog like I had originally intended, but the truth is, they're just... Continue Reading →
I was recently out in public and I ran into someone I knew.

I was happy to engage in conversation... Continue Reading →
