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!

Of First Importance
- The Keys of Death“The keys of death were hung on the inside of Christ’s tomb. From the outside, Christ could do many wonderful works, including raising a twelve-year-old girl and two men from the dead — only to die again (Mark 5:41-42; Luke 7:14-15; John 11:43-44). If any were to be raised from the dead, never to die [...]
- Attitudes toward the Cross“There is no greater cleavage between faith and unbelief than in their respective attitudes to the cross. Where faith sees glory, unbelief sees only disgrace. What was foolishness to Greeks, and continues to be to modern intellectuals who trust in their own wisdom, is nevertheless the wisdom of God. And what remains a stumbling-block to [...]
- Dead to sin’s guilt, alive to Christ’s power“No sin can be crucified either in heart or life, unless it first be pardoned in conscience, because there will be want of faith to receive the strength of Jesus, by whom alone it can be crucified. If it be not crucified in its guilt, it cannot be subdued in its power.” - William Romaine, quoted [...]
- For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven“We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the [...]
- Born a Martyr“The whole life of Christ was a continuall Passion; others die Martyrs, but Christ was born a Martyr… His birth and his death were but one continuall act, and his Christmas-day and his Good Friday, are but the evening and morning of one and the same day.” —John Donne, Christmas sermon (Dec 25, 1626). (HT: Tony Reinke) [...]
- How to join the family of God“If, then, I believe on Jesus Christ’s name – that is, simply from my heart trust myself with the crucified, but now exalted, Redeemer, I am a member of the family of the Most High. Whatever else I may not have, if I have this, I have the privilege to become a child of God.” - [...]
- You are my beloved child, in whom I delight“Have you heard God’s blessing in your inmost being? Are the words “You are my beloved child, in whom I delight” an endless source of joy and strength? Have you sensed, through the Holy Spirit, God speaking them to you? That blessing – the blessing through the Spirit that is ours through Christ – is what [...]
