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!

- The living guide to Jesus“The Holy Spirit is the living guide to Jesus. It is He who says, with power, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” It is He who convinces of sin, who wounds, and probes the wound, and lays open the evil of our nature—causing us to know that we are corrupt [...]
- Finite virtueWhy can’t our obedience and good works serve as the foundation for our justification before God? “It is impossible by a quality of finite virtue and worth for an offense of infinite indignity to be blotted out and compensated for.” - Francis Turretin, Justification (Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian & Reformed, year not available), 21. HT: […]
- Rising from the dust“When a believer has fallen into a low, sad state of feeling, he often tries to lift himself out of it by chastening himself with dark and doleful fears. Such is not the way to rise from the dust, but to continue in it. As well chain the eagle’s wing to make it mount, as [...]
- Our only hope and fear“The tares of ruin grow and ripen. The sand runs low within the glass. Our days are numbered. ‘Repent or perish,’ says the Christ. The sign of Jonah is our need, Christ, crucified and risen! The God who kills and makes alive, our only hope and only fear!” - Geoffrey T. Bull, The City and the [...]
