My mind races a lot.  I can think about many different things at one time.  I know it is because I keep myself busy, and I like to keep busy.  However, I struggle to be distracted with my thoughts, even while I am spending time in my Bible Study and while at church.  This isContinue reading “Being Distracted in the House of the Lord:”

I was hurt and I cried a lot.  People were hanging out without me.  They were having fun, and I wasn’t around.  They didn’t invite me.  I was nothing to them.  After all I have done for them! After all the presents I have bought for them! All the encouraging words! My tears went fromContinue reading “Do not let Bitterness Settle amidst your Heart:”

I am 27 years old and I have never dated anyone. I have always considered myself confident in my singless, but I am struggling a bit more with my singleness as of late.   I am starting to doubt God really has the best plan for me and sometimes this can lead me to haveContinue reading “The Words I Long to Hear:”

I recently finished a book that I would highly recommend called, “The Girls in the Wild Fig Tree,” by Nice Leng’ete.  It was amazing.  It was a true story about a young girl from Kenya, from the Maasai tribe that runs away from a tradition that maybe isn’t practical or healthy.  She talks highly ofContinue reading “Listen More, Talk Less:”

These past few weeks have given me a new perspective on community.  This last week I was on the high school rewards trip with the Bridge of Storm Lake’s high school volunteers.  This was a lot of time together as a group and as a small community.  Then this weekend I had the Bison daysContinue reading “The Importance of Community:”

This past week was interesting for me, and I have felt a bit under fire.  I don’t necessarily have anyone say anything to me about my beliefs.  I have never had anyone question why I am a Christian to my face, but I see a lot on social media.  I have some friends on FacebookContinue reading “Why am I Christian?”

During the summer, my role is summer coordinator for the Bridge of Storm Lake.  I am actually in charge of college students who come to work at the nonprofit in the summer.  I help lead them in their roles and help them become leaders every week.  I want to see them grow to become greatContinue reading “I got to Bless someone with a Bible:”

Something fun about children is that they can dream, and they can dream BIG. Their ideas and thoughts may seem silly, and they may seem crazy to us adults at times. I know that I was this way as a young kid. I was going to be the most famous pop star in the worldContinue reading “Dream Big:”

I have mentioned before that my mom is a better cleaner than me. She is really good at seeing every single speck of dirt that is in a house and can clean it up really well.  I try to clean as well as her, but I just can’t seem to get there, especially in myContinue reading “Needing Another set of Eyes:”

I have anxiety and while I get anxiety attacks less and less, I still seem to struggle a bit with anxiety attacks every now and then.  I get really anxious when I can’t find my materials. This can be when I can’t find my phone, my car keys, my house keys, or my wallet.  ItContinue reading “Finding of the Lost:”
