Finding Peace within Creativity
If we are ALL made in God’s image, I have unlimited, wonderful, and peculiar creations just waiting to have life breathed into them.
My Identity in Him, Her, and Them
Until recently, I’ve been desperately searching for a sense of meaning while loneliness, hopelessness, and restlessness swallowed me whole. Sickness moved in as I began losing confidence in myself and the world around me.

Sailing through the Storm (Pt. 1)
Still water, untouched and unmoved, almost appearing as glass, reaching far beyond the horizon into the unknown. Clear blue skies enable you to see the shore and the wind feels good on your skin.

It also made me reflect on Christians’ relationship with the sacrifice Jesus made and what it means for us. Are we always forgiven no matter the sin? The answer is very complicated.

I graduated in 2015. Life was good. I was happy and comfortable with life. It was weird. I thought I had everything under control. I had a grip on where I wanted to go and who I wanted to be. So many things made since then. Fast forward to today and I’ve been brought toContinue reading “It’s Okay to Be a Work in Progress”
