thoughts about faith, love and life from a wandering heart
Jesus, marriage, family, friends, community, words, dogs, good music, health & adventure. "The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling." - Fabienne Fredrickson I have recently taken an unintentional hiatus from my blog over the last few months. I say unintentional because there have been so many times I have... Continue Reading →
In the last few months I have found some time in my schedule to become a regular podcast listener. I have a handful of podcasts that I subscribe to and one of those is Andy Stanley's Leadership Podcast. The man's a genius and shares a lot of wisdom with his listeners. A few weeks ago, I...

When I was 18 years old, I attended an event at Manhattan Christian College called Timothy Days. At this event, you go through an interview process to try to prove that you're worthy of a pretty large scholarship. In preparation for the interview, I was told, by a current student, to have a Bible verse picked... Continue Reading →
So, last night I was having a particularly emotional night which, of course, inspired me to blog. I made a few notes on my phone about how I was feeling and what I was thinking and went to bed. This morning, I as I read over the notes I left myself, I just had to... Continue Reading →
Hello my lovely friends, Today I turned 23 years old. Can you believe it? Yeah, me neither. I always get kind of anxious in anticipation for my birthday. I'm not really sure why.

We decided we wanted to make the most of our time back together, so we planned a weekly girls night where we would... Continue Reading →
Recently, Riley and I celebrated one whole year of being married. Yay! It's pretty crazy for me to think that it has been the longest amount of time we have been together under a consistent title. We dated for seven months before we got engaged, and we were engaged for nine months before we got... Continue Reading →

But, in the same breath... "what's your plan." Easily rolls off the ole tongue. So, what is it? Am I enchanted by the idea of being... Continue Reading →
Alright friends, I have to confess something to you. Last night was rough. After quite a few days of self-doubt, it happened; a full force emotional breakdown. My poor husband, bless him. He's over here trying to earn a masters degree in marriage and family therapy and I am providing him with more than enough one-on-one... Continue Reading →
