Winning Some
With each new season of life, I have learned to simultaneously mourn the loss of people, routines, or places while also balancing new rhythms and unanswered prayers. One thing I have tried to pursue are deep friendships. I’m not talking the ones where you bond over a drink order or a song, but ones where…

Med School
This path I chose is pure craziness. Yet, I have been loving every minute of it. The intricacies of the human body are fascinating and the cohesive nature of it all points me daily to a Perfect Designer. And the fact that The Great Physician is shaping me to become a physician is incredibly humbling.…

People pleasing…not
“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10 We cannot not care about what people think, but at the same time, if our aim is to…

Dug through the archives. Just me and my thoughts 🙂 I smile because He still reigns. I smile because He didn’t need me when He laid the foundations of the Earth and yet He still wants me. wants me to be His ambassador. I smile because when all else fails, there He still is. smiling…

Relationships
I have a lot to learn. A lot to grow in. Not only in romantic relationships but also in friendships. Practical steps that need to be taken and prayer to cover the areas that only He can mend. Courage to have hard conversations. Recognition that they are hard, but that nothing good is ever easy.…

A Simple Gospel
Gospel means good news. The fact that Jesus came to save humanity from their sins amazes me and baffles me. Here’s the breakdown. God’s original design was to have man and God in perfect fellowship. No barriers. No sin. In order for this design, however, to play out, there was a hierarchical understanding that God…

Small Talk
I’ve had a love-hate relationship with small talk my whole life. I was the 6 year old who acted like she was 20. I remember I didn’t like to do “kid stuff.” I didn’t like cartoons or coloring. In fact, my Sunday school teacher, when I was 6 told my mom I looked bored in…

Hidden
There is something about being hidden. Tucked away. Pushing. Waiting. Wondering. Feeling forgotten, yet being renewed. It almost seems purposeful by the Lord. It’s almost as if you were led into hiding, not willingly, but again, purposefully. Sharpening morning routines. Taking care of yourself. Being honest to yourself. Preparing for the next season that has…

Trials
Walking with God is hard. I don’t think any of us fully understand what it means to follow Him because if we did, well, maybe we’d think twice. To wholeheartedly follow Him means the world, even those in Christian community, will think you are weird. You may be labeled as “too” Christian, if you know…
