My first job I worked, was at St. Louis Bread Co.(or Panera if you want to call it the wrong name). I got paid $9.25 an hour which I thought was pretty good. I don’t know about you, but that meant whenever I spent money, I tended to calculate how much that would mean IContinue reading “Time=?”

Every Moment Holy
Life is busy. It always has been, nothing has really changed. It always will be too, but is it busy with the right things? That may be another topic entirely, but the busyness is still hard. Yet is is incredibly more important to make time for God when it is hard. Time for and withContinue reading “Every Moment Holy”
The Beauty in Between
There will always be good days, bad days, and the beauty in between. Depending on who you are, you can either be focused on the cleanliness and whiteness of the canvas, or for others, the small(or big) red splotches, or for some others, you can just be grateful that you have a canvas at all.Continue reading “The Beauty in Between”
Pick It Up Pt. 2
I wrote on this passage a couple months ago with a different meaning and perspective. Hopefully, this does not come as a secondary thought, but an addition to the meaning of a leap of faith. This past school year, I went through the book of Exodus with my campus ministry, CCF, in which something thatContinue reading “Pick It Up Pt. 2”
Show Me Something Beautiful
John Spencer has been one of my closest mentors and good friends for quite a while. We have travelled the world together and I love him dearly. He is someone that I know I can always turn to and be vulnerable with. He also is someone who always pushes me towards God; challenging my faithContinue reading “Show Me Something Beautiful”
The Pursuit of Contentment
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, right? That is what is ingrained into our brains since 1st grade. We all strive to be happy, comfortable, and content with our lives. This goes for everyone; it is just part of being human. We all want to be happy and released from stress. If our lifelongContinue reading “The Pursuit of Contentment”
Spiritual Commitment
Doing things that you don’t particularly love to do is part of every kind of relationship. Maybe it means a compromise, other times no compromise at all but simply going with the flow, but sometimes it means obedience. For example, I know my dad really dislikes eating salad, especially tomatoes, with a passion. Because heContinue reading “Spiritual Commitment”
Divine Sacrifice
My dad is someone who I always look up to; someone I always want to be like. He always supports me and wants me to know that he is there for me no matter what. He always sacrifices for me even when he thinks I don’t notice. I am very blessed to have him inContinue reading “Divine Sacrifice”
Pick It Up
I recently wrote a paper about the book, “Dead Aid”. It is written by a Zambian economist, Dambisa Moyo, and describes the effect that foreign aid has on Africa. Overall it is a great novel and I highly recommend it but that is not the reason I bring it up. Reading this book took meContinue reading “Pick It Up”
Faith Without (Healthy)Doubt
Faith has always been a huge part of my life and I have never really seen my life without it. I have struggled with it in the past and have had my own doubts to wrestle with, but recently with the extra time that I have had to myself I have grown restless, letting myContinue reading “Faith Without (Healthy)Doubt”
