Hello, My Name Is…
To say this past summer was rough is an understatement. This past summer pushed me to my limits, and that’s the kindest way that I can put it. Besides the stress from school, the stress from being a full-time mom (because what other choice do I really have?), and the stress from feeling unworthy in…

What Happened?
Every day I miss my pens, my notebooks, my words. I wish I could let the creativity flow from me the way that it used to, but now I sit stagnant and tell myself the things that I write aren’t good enough. How did this happen to me? When I became a mother with my…

I Paid a Visit to My Old Life
My life began when I hit a brick wall. I left the safe nest of my home and went to college and I didn’t look back, I didn’t even hesitate before walking out the door. Looking back, I would definitely call myself selfish for the way that I acted, but how many college students are…

Beautifully In Over My Head
Usually, if someone tells you that they have experienced a miracle, your emotions go one of two ways. You either feel overwhelmed with awe and captured by the story, or you sit in defiance, doubting that it ever happened. I could tell you about my personal miracle and it may stop you in your tracks…

This House Has Heart

Letter to a Stranger

Pregnancy Milestones
I woke up on August 1st, 2019, with one thought in my mind: by the end of this month, my son will be born. This realization hit me so deeply that I couldn’t get out of bed for a few minutes. Me. A mother. By the end of this month. Where did the time go?…

My Hiding Place
“May the Lord lead you into a greater understanding of God’s Love.” 2 Thessalonians 3:5 During my freshman year of college, I was outside all of the time. This makes sense since the college I picked to attend was a decision based on my excitement of being outside on the campus itself, and I was…

36 Weeks
I was halfway through my junior year of college when I found out I was pregnant. Part of me was worried about what this would mean for the rest of my time in college, and part of me was almost hopeless about finishing at all, but all of me was excited for this baby. I…

Free
I’m scared. A lot of the time in this life, I’m just scared. Not necessarily scared of the big questions like, “When am I going to die?” or “Do I love them or not?” kind of fear, but a, “Is yellow really my color?” fear. Doesn’t make sense, I’m aware of that, yet here I…
