This week I just wanted to take the time to share something that will hopefully bring some encouragement and new perspective for you in this time. I watched the live stream of this video on Sunday when I went to church (aka my kitchen table). This message brought a lot of conviction, perspective change, andContinue reading “Back to Normal”

This year Easter needless to say, like everything else, looked a little different for everyone. Easter as we have known was canceled. There were no giant Easter productions or plays, no long drawn out services, no ginormous Easter egg hunts, and I don’t think I’ve seen any crying children taking pictures with the Easter bunnyContinue reading “Easter, Canceled?”

The story of King David is one that showcases how God can take the most unlikely of people for extravagant feats. As long as they have an obedient and humble heart. David’s story doesn’t begin in a palace or even in a middle-class home. When we’re first introduced to David we find him as aContinue reading “From a House to a Home”

With all of the social distancing becoming more emphasized, it is so easy to begin to feel lonely and isolated. This is not the kind of life we were meant to live. We were designed for community and to be relational. This is one of the amazing things about our species, we’re meant to liveContinue reading “Fellowship Through Tacos”

This past weekend I went home for my mom’s birthday, and also to spend time with my family who I hadn’t seen in almost a month. It was good timing for a break with everything that is going on with COVID-19. With the confirmed cases in Arkansas and school closings, both of my jobs wereContinue reading “Foolish Child”

In Mark 10 verses 17 through 31, we find a popular story infamously titled, “The Rich Young Ruler”. Jesus is approached by a young man who, as the title explains, is also very wealthy and of some sort of royal heritage. In this portion of scripture we also find out that the young man isContinue reading “Young Dumb and…”

This weekend I went with Chi Alpha on our spring retreat called Come Together. The name references to the detail that all of the Chi Alpha campus ministries “come together” for a time of worship, listening to the word, and connecting as one big family. For me retreats like this are always fun to goContinue reading “Becoming One”

This weekend I did something a little out of my comfort zone, I ran a 5K. It was only my second 5K but it was my first trail run ever. Naturally, I don’t have the runner body, but I do enjoy a good run every now and then. I just enjoy exercise in general becauseContinue reading “Finishing the Race”

Life is never truly easy. There is always some sort drama going on. School gets tough and there never seems to be enough time for all of the things. It can all be overwhelming. It can be so easy to forget in these times that God is near. It is hard in all of theContinue reading “A Broken Heart”

One of the many reasons why I love majoring in psychology is the way it shows the intentionally that God took in designing us. An intentionality that goes beyond just the physical science but also the science of the mind that influences and is influence by so much in our lives. Something that has stuckContinue reading “Rudder of the Ship”
