Confessions of a dreamer…
My name is Kristen. I want to welcome you to my blog. This is my first post and I have to admit I am nervous to share. But I have been dreaming about this for years. I have learned it’s ok to do something imperfectly; especially since most people have different standards of perfect. Sometimes…

Needed Prayer.
The upheaval of the world in our face right now is disturbing. What’s in the news— I don’t even have to say it—you know what I’m talking about. It’s certainly been a wake up call for many. But can I just say— the grave injustices in our world have been happening consistently for a very…

Escape.
Life lately has been a whirlwind of uncertainties, tragedies and never-ending frustration with the pattern of this world. How can I escape? I need space. I wish I could say I choose the right thing every time. But that’s not true. Escape can be a copout; escape can be selfish. However, I have learned- sometimes…

This is Not The End.
I heard a quote recently that I cannot remember word for word, but it had to do with preparing for eternity rather than focusing on this one life we have to live. I am still pondering what that looks like because I am one to encourage the YOLO lifestyle (“You Only Live Once”)… embrace every…

Introvert or Extrovert?
Have you ever been around new people and then came home and felt completely and utterly drained? Maybe this is your everyday life. They say an extrovert receives energy from people, but introverts receive energy from being alone. If you are more introverted and you work with people everyday, maybe you feel more drained at…

Unsettled.
I have been feeling convicted lately about how I am living. Conviction is tricky because it’s easy to twist it in my mind and believe I am being ‘condemned,’ when the truth is: conviction is a sign the Spirit of God is working in me to make me aware. When I say I feel convicted…

Rest.
Do you ever just feel like you’re going insane? The last few weeks I have been wrestling mentally with everything. I haven’t posted anything here for a while. I’ve been distracted. I have been frustrated about nothing; worried about my future; impatient with people around me. I know you can relate to the feeling of…

Let’s Get Real.
I am sitting down to write today and feel very unprepared. I do not necessarily feel inspired. There’s nothing pressing on my heart to share. Or maybe I’ve just been too distracted lately to even reflect and hear from God. That’s probably more the case than anything. Life gets busy, I know. It’s normal to…

Distant.
Why do I feel distant from God? I have heard this question frequently… I’ve also asked myself this question many times over the years. Let me just start by saying this: you would not have air in your lungs if it weren’t for the Creator of the Universe. And what could be closer to you…

a prayer.
This week I just want to share a prayer with you. Maybe it will encourage you to connect with God in a deeper way. I forget so easily that prayer is powerful; not just for requests, but for genuine connection with our God. Will you pray with me? Jesus, You are so good. I am…

Trouble.
So what happens when it falls apart? What happens when everything you thought you could stand on is ripped out from under you because the darkness took over? Maybe someone betrayed you? Maybe a loved one has passed away? Maybe you were fired, didn’t make the cut, or you became handicapped? Maybe you lost your…
