When my friend Megan and I were looking for a place to vacation this fall, our desires were pretty simple: affordable, near a beach, preferably 2 bedrooms, with a place we could cook some of our meals. The place we ended up finding turned out to FAR exceed these expectations. Our gorgeous little condo was… Continue reading Just Be

Hands Free Life by Rachel Macy Stafford
In addition to blogging more, I've also been challenging myself to do more reading. It is so easy to waste away hours on Facebook or Pinterest or other mindless things, that I decided reading, even just a few minutes a day, night be a more productive use of my time. So when I had the… Continue reading Hands Free Life by Rachel Macy Stafford
God-Sighting Saturday {just write – day 31!!!}
Well, we made it! I managed to skip only 2 days I think and am hopeful to keep blogging as regularly as possible. To wrap up, today's a little different than a normal God-sighting Saturday reflecting on the past week. Instead, here are few ways I've seen God at work specifically through this 31 day… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday {just write – day 31!!!}
Breakfast on the Beach {just write – day 30}
As I walked along the beach this morning, a story from the gospel of John came to mind. It's in the very last chapter and takes place after Jesus' resurrection. The disciples had seen Jesus alive again, however, at least according to John's account he hadn't given them any direction about what's next. It… Continue reading Breakfast on the Beach {just write – day 30}
Seeing People {just write – day 29}
I'm currently on vacation which means I have way more time to be writing on here, and yet, each day we've been here, I struggle to figure out what to write about. Today is clearly the same as it's now 10 p.m. and I decided, with hopes of finishing this 31 day challenge strong, to… Continue reading Seeing People {just write – day 29}
When the locksmith doesn’t show but Jesus does {just write – day 28}
It was a little after 10 a few nights ago when my upstairs neighbor knocked on my door. He had locked his keys in his car and had no clue what to do. His mom had suggests a locksmith so he was going to go call one. After saying this he walked back to… Continue reading When the locksmith doesn’t show but Jesus does {just write – day 28}
Prove Them Wrong, Please!?! {just write – day 26}
A few days ago I mentioned how much I LOVE high schoolers, especially laughing with them. Because of that love, my heart broke when I was in a conversation with a group of students not too long ago and heard the the following kinds of things come out of their mouths: "Adults don't really want… Continue reading Prove Them Wrong, Please!?! {just write – day 26}
Friends that Pray {just write – day 25}
Yesterday I shared about the gift of a friend (or stranger) that shares their story and invites you to share yours. Another beautiful gift in friendship is a friend that prays. Once again, I am overwhelmed that I have many friends who can fit in this category while some people have none. (Side note, if… Continue reading Friends that Pray {just write – day 25}
Your Story Matters {just write – day 24}
Yesterday I received a beautiful gift. It's nothing tangible nor is it easy to describe. Yet, in its simplicity I found myself filled with gratitude. The gift: someone shared part of their story with me in honesty and vulnerability and invited me to do the same. I realized that this gift, while extremely simple to… Continue reading Your Story Matters {just write – day 24}
Laugh a little (or a lot) {just write – day 23}
I love high schoolers. Some people may think I'm crazy, but only because they don't get to time week after week to just hang out with them and find out what really going on in their hearts and minds. More than that, I don't think the people that say I'm crazy have ever gotten to… Continue reading Laugh a little (or a lot) {just write – day 23}
