The last few weeks (months?) I’ve found myself time and time again, asking the simple… yet not simple at all… question: “God, what do you want me to learn from this? What are you trying to teach me?” Books, life situations, conversations with friends, and more… I’ve been in a season of life where I… Continue reading There’s No Place Like Home

Lazarus Awakening
I just finished reading my second Blogging for Books book. It was called Lazarus Awakening: Finding Your Place in the Heart of God by Joanna Weaver.

While I think that many of us have heard the phrase, “Jesus Loves You” more times than we could count, sometimes it… Continue reading Grace
Beautiful Brokenness
After reading the following blog post from a friend and fellow intern, I was reminded of how beautiful brokenness can be. Often when we are the most broken, God can bring about the greatest beauty.

Today has enough troubles of it’s own.
To be honest, the past couple of weeks, especially last week, have been a little crazy. I was getting final preparations together for the Young Adult Trivia Night this past Saturday (thanks again to everyone who worked together to make that happen!). My internship supervisor from Nebraska was also in town for his final visit from… Continue reading Today has enough troubles of it’s own.
