• Love is…

    February 7, 2017

    When I was about 13 years old, I fell in love. Ya know, the deep kind of love. Call each other all day kind of love. Puppy names to make you puke kind of love. Draw hearts on your binder with his name inside kind of love. And then…yep…I woke up. For as long as I can remember, I have been a helpless romantic. I love romantic movies like The Holiday, The Notebook or Love & Basketball. The relationships don’t seem to make sense. Someone is too selfish. Someone doesn’t try like the other.

  • Why Not Trust God Again?

    January 30, 2014

    “When I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.” Psalm 56:3 One thing that completely scares every bone in my body is heights. I work at a Christian sports camp, Kids Across America, in the summer and there’s an elevated obstacle course called Treetops. One morning, the Lord was dealing with me about trusting Him in a particular situation, and I decided to step back and let God take control. I exercised this spiritual decision by taking a physical action and doing Treetops. I was terrified, but I sucked it up and went through. When I completed the…
