He Sees You
Invisible. That’s a label I’ve clung to for a long time. It’s always been hard for me to find my place in this world, to feel like I truly fit in with people. As a quiet person, it’s easy to blend into the background, to be overlooked or passed by. To be in a crowded room, and yet feel completely alone. Insecurity settled into my heart at a young age, creating a deep desire for validation from people to feel like I was enough. If I just had more friends, I'd be happier. If th

To the Person in their Twenties
No one really warns you how strange life feels after graduating from college. After four years of familiar routines of classes and late-night fast-food runs with friends, you are suddenly thrown into a world that expects you to have your whole future mapped out. Everyone around you seems to be moving forward: getting married, starting careers, building lives, while you’re left wondering if you’re falling behind. The future feels foggy and dark, suffocating, even. A weird, lon

The Voice of Truth
There are so many voices shouting at us every single day. Our world feels full of chaos. And in the midst of it all, it can be easy to feel afraid, confused, and even begin to question: What is the truth?

No one comes to the Father except through Me.” And John 17:7 reads, “ Sanctify them by the truth

Walking Into the New
As a new year begins, I am sure we all have some goals or aspirations for this new year, whether it be eating healthier, working out more, or spending less time on social media. The beginning of a year is a great way to reflect on your life and the positive changes you want to make. The start of a new year also brings hope and expectancy, a sort of clean slate from the past year and a fresh new beginning. Winter is soon ending, and spring is on the horizon. I believe this phy

My Grandmother's House
In my grandmother’s house, there were no chandeliers or glossy, marble floors. No high ceilings or overarching doors. But I remember the warmth of the fire, the comfort, the love. Joy, and laughter, I remember the sound of. There were s nowball fights and movie nights, and breakfast in bed. Climbing trees and tea parties, and countless stories read. Giggles and whispers in the middle of the night. Dancing and singing, and silly little fights. The aroma of cinnamon

Beautiful in His Time
"It's good to have the no because the no leads us to a better yes.” This is something my friend Sarah told me during a conversation last year, when we were discussing how God divinely works in ways that don't always make sense to our human minds, working things for our good, even when we can't see. In the moment, though, the no does not feel good. It can be easy to feel frustrated, angry, or even bitter with God. We can throw little fits like children, angry with God that He
