thoughts about faith, love and life from a wandering heart
Summer is quickly approaching and one of my favorite things about being a youth pastor is that I still get to attend camp every year! Admittedly, camp is a different experience leading a group of teenagers than it is being a teenager, but it's still a highlight for me even as an adult. There's just... Continue Reading →
5 whole years married to Riley James Hundley! Woohoo! I really do look forward to writing these posts each year. God is so faithful to provide. His mercies are new every morning. 2019-2020 was a doozy, which means I learned a lot, so here it goes! 1. Prioritizing adventure is essential Riley and I both... Continue Reading →
It finally happened. I had just finished reading an article on Facebook about another COVID-19 casualty. Heart wrenching. My response to these articles up until this point had been pretty much the same; sad, a little scared, but for the most part, feeling like the effects of this virus were still a long distance off...

It's another sleepless night. I've already laid awake in bed for an hour; thinking, praying. I've read two chapters in my book and have finally gotten out from under my heated blanket to dust off my computer and attempt to wrangle my thoughts into this post. This is starting to become a familiar feeling; a... Continue Reading →
As 2019 came to a close, my husband challenged me and my parents to do something really thoughtful. While we were all sitting in the living room on NYE, he asked us to reflect on the past decade and select 10 highlights. These 10 moments in time were not necessarily the happiest moments of our...

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 →
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! I've talked before about how God often works in my life by presenting the same topic, idea or challenge over... Continue Reading →
I've recently felt convicted that if my ultimate goal is to become more like Christ, I actually need to know Christ. The obvious place to go when wanting to learn more about Jesus and the life he lived is the Bible. So, I've been intentionally spending time in the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) reading...

A few months ago, Riley and I jumped on the Movie Pass train. If you're unfamiliar, Movie Pass is a company that allows you to watch one movie a day, everyday, for $10/mo. As you know, going to the movies is quite expensive, so this deal seems like it's too good to be true. We... Continue Reading →
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...
