The Tour de France is Not What I Thought—It’s Better.
In the last few months, I have gotten very into the slew of sports documentaries available to stream. I love watching people push themselves to their limits and reach elite athletic status. It’s inspiring to see what bodies are capable of, what people are capable of, and it is so easy to root for people… Continue reading

A Prayer for the Comment Sections of the World
While I’ve always known that internet trolls are a thing, and that the anonymity that comes with a screen allows people to say things—horrible things—that they most likely wouldn’t say when put face to face with someone, I have recently been floored by the sheer number of opinions that are thrown every which way at… Continue reading

Be a Thermometer
A few weeks ago, I was at church and our pastor said something that really stuck out to me. He said, “Be a thermometer, not a thermostat.” If you Google the phrase, you’ll find that it has been taught before, in reverse, and often in regards to relationships with other people. This Forbes article discusses… Continue reading

Eat the Cake While it’s in Front of You
My favorite cake in the world is celebration cake from Susie Cakes. Whenever I find myself in front of one, ready to take my first bite, I am so excited, but I am also sad. Why? Because I know that in about five minutes (or less), that piece of cake will be gone. And in… Continue reading

Watch Him Turn a Sea into a Highway
One of my favorite worship songs of all time is “Graves Into Gardens” by Elevation Worship. The bridge is my favorite part, and it goes like this: . You turn mourning to dancing You give beauty for ashes You turn shame into glory You’re the only one who can . You turn graves into… Continue reading

The other day I was listening to the Workin’ On it podcast with Meghan & Ryan Trainor, and their guest, Zach Pincince. At one point in the conversation, Zach said something that stuck out to me. It was a little nugget that made a piece snap together in my mind. I’m going to expand on… Continue reading

You Can
Is there a place you’ve always wanted to go to? A thing you’ve always wanted to try? A bucket list item that you always bring up excitedly, but then follow it up with a gloomy, wistful “someday”? Is there something you keep adding to your want-to-do list? An idea bouncing around in your head that… Continue reading

Look for the Heart Shaped Pizzas
When I was in high school, I was part of my church youth group. On Wednesday nights, we would get together to worship, hear a sermon, and then hang out and talk. The boys liked to skateboard and play tag and do stunts that would make me say, “that doesn’t look safe.” And the girls… Continue reading

Savor the Silver
On a recent episode of Couple Things, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson and her husband Andrew East were talking about things they wish they knew when they were young adults. I liked the episode as I feel like you can never get too much good advice. And one thing that stuck out to me was, “focus… Continue reading

You Might be the Answer
It’s always easy to imagine that when you meet someone new or put yourself out there, things aren’t going to work out. It’s easy to imagine being rejected, which is why we often don’t want to put ourselves in that position to begin with. Saying the wrong thing, tripping over your own feet, doing something… Continue reading
