Earlier this week I saw a TikTok duet of this guy asking how Jesus, in the Middle East in 20/30CE was able to find guys named Peter, James and John. Pretty white/modern sounding names for that period and place huh? Of course, if you are more involved in a Christian community/have done some study/regularly read … Continue reading Spiritual Drought
A week ago today I decided to stop seeing my therapist. I've been going to therapy semi-regularly since 2016. It's been a long journey, but so helpful, insightful, and deeply beneficial.

I was scrolling through social media, you know, how you do. And one of my friends just recently started a new job in a new city and she's been sharing about her experience. And I looked at her post and I started feeling this little pang of jealousy. I thought to myself, wow she's so … Continue reading Victories in Self-Awareness
Hey what's up hello! It's a new year and like every other blogger on the planet I'm going to share my 2020 goals. 1.) Spend more time on creative pursuits. I want to consciously and consistently dedicate time to working on independent creative projects. Since I started my full-time job the time I spend working … Continue reading My Goals for 2020
On Tuesday I went to an event that my church, Passion City, hosts monthly called The Grove. It's an all-women worship service essentially and I've only been twice, but my experiences have been incredible. It's Christmastime and this time of year is so special to me, I want to speak on something that I touch … Continue reading Awe & Wonder
