It’s been 4 weeks to the day now, since I woke up and could not walk. My life changed in an instant, without warning. In the grand scheme of things, I’m still here. There are far worse tragedies, if we even want to call it that. My faith has not wavered, but that doesn’t mean I have not struggled. There are days where all I can muster is a resounding “This SUCKS!” Then the next day I force myself up and do stair climb repetitions and laugh at the absurdity of it all. However, that age old question still darts around my brain… Why? JobRead More →

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been working my way through a new devotional from Levi Lusko called “Take Back Your Life“. You may recognize his name from some of his previous devotional books (“I Declare War“, “Swipe Right” or “Through the Eyes of a Lion“) or because he’s the lead pastor of Fresh Life Church in Montana. I’ve really enjoyed Lusko’s writing and style. It’s very invitational for me and feels like I’m having a conversation with him as a writer and he’s just sharing perspective and insights from his experiences and the wisdom that God has given him to share with others.Read More →

This past week I had someone come up to me and say “wow, you are so lucky. You carry so much wisdom and joy for your young age.” While most people would take this as a compliment, say thank you and walk away, this hit different. I walked away wondering to myself if they thought I just stumbled upon this life I’m living now. If they see my life and think it’s always looked like this. “You are so lucky” Why am I lucky? I don’t look at my life and think “Wow, I’m the luckiest person in the world!” If anything, it’s honestly quiteRead More →

Stay In Your Lane

While trying to take a photo in the middle of the road this car came around the corner and almost hit me. I starting laughing when I saw myself staring them down and then I began to examine the picture a little closer. God began to speak four words over me: STAY IN YOUR LANE. I’m in a transitional season of life and while this concept is difficult no matter where you’re at, it’s especially difficult in a season of change and waiting. You look around at the calling on other people’s live and begin to ask yourself, “maybe that’s what I’m supposed to doRead More →

Ellie Claire – Gift & Paper Expression did a fantastic job with these journals. They are beautifully designed and illustrated. I was thoroughly impressed with the detail and clear thought put into every page. I was captivated throughout the entirety of each journal. These journals are well made, each coming with an elastic pen holder and high-quality paper. Although they are all amazing my favorite is the Faith & Lettering Journal. It has multiple sections for every aspect of hand lettering. There are sections with pre-made quotes with a space to trace the design and three spaces to practice it on your own. It alsoRead More →
