I have gone back and forth about whether or not I should start writing again. Honestly, the majority of my writing has consisted of gibberish that I’ve kept haphazardly stored in the “notes” section of my Iphone. Notes that are usually made when on a walk or at a stoplight or when I let myself […]
Several months ago, I read an article about some nasty stuff that was lying around in many of the “harmless” everyday products I was using. Although I spend my days as a dietitian promoting healthy, unprocessed foods, I had never paid attention to the things I wa s putting all over my skin EVERY […]
“You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.” Psalm 139:5 Oh wow. Quick little catch up here. Life has been, to say the least, absolutely insane. Let’s start with this biggie: I got engaged about 3 months ago to the absolute love of my life and very […]
“For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory.” Psalm 32:7 Oh there it is. That little thought. That little worry that creeps in first thing in the morning. I can wake up feeling rested and ready to go and suddenly I am absolutely paralyzed by […]

“From his abundance we have received one gracious blessing after another” John 1:16 For most of my life, I have struggled with the treacherous road of deception that is comparison. You name it, I have compared it: my house, my clothes, my body, my family, my money, my relationships, my church, my job, my creativity, […]
“He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3 Have you ever been going through a particularly dark season and wonder how everyone around you is going about their normal lives and the world keeps spinning? You think to yourself: “how does no one see?!” “don’t you feel this too?!” You feel defined […]
“Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts” 2 Timothy 2:22 Over the past few weeks, I have witnessed the building process of a beautiful farm table that is now sitting proudly in our dining room. One night last week, my precious roommate, Brooke, was busy at work sanding the […]
