Welcome to my blog! I am a twenty-something newlywed. I don’t know when I became a Christian, but it seems I truly started trusting in Christ as a junior in college. I am happier and freer than I could ever dream. I love to be surrounded by music and people of all beliefs and backgrounds. I am an emerging writer, singer, player of guitar and piano, friend to college women, seeker of truth, joy and freedom, runner, and also emerging cooker and baker. I enjoy sports- like ultimate frisbee, snowboarding and soccer, making homemade cards and learning the secrets of photography, learning more about who others are, who I am and who God is. I majored in elementary education, and I now work for a college ministry with my husband called Campus Outreach while working as a teaching assistant in kindergarten during the day. I also nanny and substitute teach. I write about global issues, friends, rebellion, marriage, relationships, struggles with sin, body image, self worth, anger, redemption, etc. I am goofy, artsy and creative and love reading different perspectives about life. I want to write. A lot. I hope to someday make a career through writing, if that is what the Lord wills. But He always knows what’s best, and that is what makes my life so full of joy! He is so good!

- This is perfect righteousness“This is perfect righteousness, to hear nothing, to know nothing, to do nothing of the law of works; but only to know and believe that Jesus Christ is now gone to the Father, and sitteth at his right hand, not as a judge, but is made unto you of God, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.” —Edward [...]
- An imperfect preview“The gospel creates the kind of community that is even now an imperfect preview of the kingdom’s marriage feast that awaits us. The church originates, flourishes, and fulfills its mission as that part of God’s world that has been redeemed and redefined by this strange announcement that seems foolish and powerless to the rest of [...]
- He that believes“He that believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved, be his sins never so many. But he that does not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ must be damned, be his sins never so few.” - Thomas Brooks
- The only thing that makes you differ“Christian! the only thing that makes you differ from the vilest being that pollutes the earth, or from the darkest fiend that gnaws his chains in hell, is the free grace of God!” - Octavius Winslow, Jesus, Full of Grace
- Mission and the Overflow of Grace“Grasping the external propulsion of God’s grace is crucial to our understanding of mission. It means that mission is not a duty (something we ’should do’) but a natural overflow of the gospel’s work inside us. If you aren’t motivated to love, serve, and speak the gospel to people, the answer isn’t to ‘just do it.’ The answer [. […]
