One of my favorite authors over the past few years has been Ann Voskamp. While I do enjoy her books and occasionally stop over at her blog, I think what I love most are her social media posts. Using statements like #HonestPrayersForRealPeople and #PreachingGospelToMyself to describe her posts, it's safe to say she's an approachable,… Continue reading Truth for Today {just write – day 22}

Just Show Up {just write – day 21}
Every year that I do this #write31days challenge somewhere around day 20/21 is when I hit "writer's block" of sorts. I was tempted to just not write anything today or find an old post and "reblog" it. But then I remembered this year's theme I picked of "just write." So here I am, just writing. … Continue reading Just Show Up {just write – day 21}
God all around… {just write – day 20}
This evening while I was on campus I got done with what I was doing a little early. Another ministry also meets on campus on Tuesdays and I decided to wander over to the Union and see how their night was going. They actually where in small groups when I got there so I didn't… Continue reading God all around… {just write – day 20}
Come Messy – Part 2 {just write – day 19}
After finishing yesterday's blog post, I realized one more "come messy" invitation from Christ: coming to His table to celebrate the Lord's supper. One of the things I love about celebrating communion often at our church is the continual reminder to come messy... However you are in that given day, you're invited to receive the… Continue reading Come Messy – Part 2 {just write – day 19}
Come messy {just write – day 18}
Prayer is a fascinating thing to me. It's one of those things that, while I depend on it every single day, I still really don't understand it at all and perhaps will be growing in my understanding the rest of my life. This weekend I had the chance to relax and enjoy life with… Continue reading Come messy {just write – day 18}
God-Sighting Saturday {just write – day 17}
A few places I spied God this week: Getting to worship with the youth band during rehearsal and Sunday worship and hearing some of their stories of how God is at work in their lives. A five mile walk... sun shining on the colorful fall trees. Trip to tour the Fowler's Chocolate factory with the… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday {just write – day 17}
Let my words be few… {just write – day 15}
Not many words of my own to share today.... Just standing in awe and resting in peace... Maybe you can take a few moments and "join" me in just being still and remembering that God is God... "Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before… Continue reading Let my words be few… {just write – day 15}

Well, we're back from an AMAZING trip to Jamaica. Fifteen First Trinity members (mainly youth and young adults) joined with three amazing Jamaicans to form an absolutely astounding team set on doing God's work throughout the area of Westmoreland Jamaica. In an effort to share our experience with those who stayed behind, I hope to… Continue reading Jamaica Mission Day 1 Recap
A Mind-Blowing Day {31 Days of Anything – Day 15}
All I can really say tonight is that when you wake up with a song like this playing through your head as a prayer, just keep your eyes open, 'cause God just might blow your mind with the ways in which He answers! "This is my desire to honor You Lord, with all my heart,… Continue reading A Mind-Blowing Day {31 Days of Anything – Day 15}
The Mundane {31 Days of Anything – Day 14}
