3AM Thoughts
Have I had 3am thoughts before? *shrugs* Either way, here we are. You know it’s funny, people say that you should live as if there’s no tomorrow. And I get it. “Live your life! Do the things you want to do! Do them now! Don’t wait.” Even Jesus said that tomorrow isn’t promised to us.…

I Survived Survivor (Or, A Lesson In Friendship)
I know what you’re thinking. How could you possibly survive a game that you’ve never been on or even seen an episode of? Funny story… buckle up. It’s a lot of a long story… almost a decade and a half long… For the past 13 years (so basically my entire adult life), I’ve been following…

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…

‘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…

Endings Bring New Beginnings

Last year Erica would wonder how much “quitting” was actually had… Speaking of Last Year Erica… I was thinking about a year ago today. I remember how tired and…

This weekend I’m in Woodland Park, Colorado, at a women’s conference. Today is the last day, but now that I’m mostly over the altitude sickness, I decided to get a coffee at the beginning of the day. And then I wasn’t allowed in the auditorium because the cup doesn’t have a spill-proof lid. Whoops. So…

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting
It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens. Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

Emotional Support Friend
As you can see from the above picture and caption, I just finished downsizing and rearranging my bedroom tonight! I gotta be honest, I really thought I would be able to get away with not moving my desk, but I realized… if the reason I’m doing all of this is to be obedient, then I…

The Trouble With Journaling
A lot of things have happened over the last week to cause me to feel like “now is a good time to write.” And then I came home from my Chicago trip and it felt like the world was falling down around me. I’d like to say I’m okay with a certain amount of stress,…
