I don’t come here very often, only when I have time to kill. I have a meeting in an hour and thought I could use some really good coffee. So I drove up, pulled in, and ordered my coffee. The last time I was here, the coffee was GREAT. But maybe they messed up my…

Even though I know nothing
For some very odd reason, there are times in my life where something happens and I just picture God looking down and laughing at me. Not in a, “wow girl you need to get your stuff together, you are a mess” kind of way. But rather in a loving way. I have this image of…
A Bigger Story is Unfolding
I have been traveling so much these past few months and have been to so many different churches in the process. After my mission trip, I stayed in South Carolina for a little bit and attended a university campus church at one of the colleges I am looking into. Conveniently, the pastor mentioned a passage…

The Urgency of Loving Your City
I have moved around a lot and have honestly loved every place we’ve moved. Now, moving is a strange thing. Because you basically start all over. You know nobody and no one knows you. It’s both beautiful and terrible at the same time. This last move has been so different though. I moved from a…
When Fear Takes Over
I have always struggled with fear and truthfully thought I had it all under control. But then it came for a long extended visit, without my approval. It came in a totally new form than I’ve ever seen before. I used to be fearful of situations and anxious about plans and how things will get…
