“For Purple Mountains Majesty…”
Last weekend, I had the honor of going to my favorite area of Colorado for the 5th time. This was my third time going for a women’s conference, and it seems as though every time I go for a conference, I fall more in love with the area. Obviously, I love visiting, but something about…

Beef jerky grief
Last week, June 14, was the 10-year anniversary of my dad’s death. I felt fine leading up to the day and even after my uncle and grandpa arrived in town for the weekend. My uncle, grandpa and I went to Manhattan, Kansas, and for the first time in 10 years, I visited my dad’s gravesite.…

You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello
Last week, my bestest friend Esther and I went on a road trip with her brother to move her back to her childhood home for a little while. The Lord called her back there and while I’m excited for her new adventures, I’m sad she is so far away. When I went back to work…

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…

‘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…
