    • Death, Adventures, and Birthdays

      Today would be my dad’s 53rd birthday, and as I do every Sunday morning, I went to church. Since we’re still in Colorado, my best friends and I went to Legacy Church, pastored by Jeremy Pearsons. The story of how we found the church and then decided it was worth going during our vacation is…

    • A Sabbath Trip

      Today is day 3 of a 5-day trip I felt the Lord lead me to plan for my two best friends and me. I think I had originally called it our “besties trip”, and it is… but I’m realizing it’s more than that. It’s a Sabbath trip. Aside from the initial planning on all our…

    • A Facilitator

      The Lord has been teaching me a lot about myself in the past few weeks, and the biggest lesson I’m learning is that I have an overall calling and what I’ll call a “seasonal” calling. It wasn’t until last Saturday (before the apocalypse– I mean, the eclipse) that I realized my “seasonal” calling is simply…

    • Be Careful…

      I might be lying if I said I never post in an emotional state, but this one feels like a “breach of protocol” in a way because my ire isn’t specifically directed at myself. Someone else is involved in the emotions. So I will try not to lay blame or do anything like name-call (though…

    • Good Things Come To The Persistent

      This is a longer story post. Get ready for a ride. 😉 I love Planet Comicon. Anybody who’s spent more than 5 minutes with me will automatically know that. Even if there’s not one celebrity there that I want to meet, I still go, just to be a part of it all. This year however,…

    • ‘Enjoy Yourself’

      This year, the Lord told me to make sure to schedule some time off to enjoy my life, my family, and my friends. It started off small; I planned a weekend away with my two best friends. From there, it kind of snowballed. My mom and I are planning two trips to see her parents…

    • A Field Trip?! (A Hot Cheeto Story)

      “I’m going to remember to take you with me to work today, Hot Cheeto!” The lady with the blue hair declared at the beginning of her week. By the end of the week, I knew it wasn’t going to happen. By the middle of the week, she was apologizing for the fact that she forgot…

    • 10 Years A Friend

      Today marks 10 years since I started at my first job in Kansas City, Missouri. Because I’ve had issues with iCloud and Dropbox over the years, I don’t have any pictures from 2014, but I know I took a lot of them. So this picture of my roommate and me taken by a photographer friend…

    • Music Is Memory

      It doesn’t happen as often as it used to, but today I had the opportunity to just listen to music and color. In hindsight, not having anything “fun” to do on my phone definitely helped. I don’t remember what precipitated it, but I thought of a song from Hawk Nelson’s first album, Letters To The…

    • It’s Not All The Same

      Well-meaning people would say that my issue with the loss of yet another thing that basically defines my adulthood is “the same.” The funny thing about grief is that none of it hits the same. Even how quickly I get to the point of mourning over the loss of a thing is different. I understand…
