When You Fear the Unknown, Remember What Else is There
The unknown is not my favorite place. In fact, it is arguably my least favorite place in the world. I like to be in control. I like to know what to expect. I like to prepare for any and all outcomes so that I have a better chance of actually enjoying myself. Now, sometimes, I Continue reading

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

How Jazzercise Unexpectedly Changed My Life (And the Way I Exercise)
“Do you want to try Jazzercise with me tonight?” After hearing this question from my mom on a weekday afternoon, my immediate reaction was to laugh. Not callously, but curiously. A giddiness bubbled in my stomach that was reminiscent of being asked to dance by a middle school boy—it was both exciting and slightly embarrassing. 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

The Perfect May Evening
At about 3:00pm yesterday, I woke up from an accidental two-hour nap. Needless to say, I felt like I was going to die. My arms and legs were heavy, my eyes were protesting staying open, my body as a whole was trying to reason with me—let’s just go back to sleep, we’ll wake you up 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

We All Grow in Different Light
A little over a year ago I walked into a local hardware store. I don’t remember what I was there for, all I know is that on my way to find it I fell in love with a fiddle leaf fig tree that was on sale for $20. I picked it up, carried it with 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
