I feel small.
It’s a really big world out there. So many people. So many cultures, ideas and stories to tell. Sometimes I feel so small when I think about it all. I am a nobody in this great, big, ever growing world. Even though I feel small, I believe every individual has the capacity for BIG dreams…

Get Out There and Move.
Holistic living seems unattainable sometimes or just downright unrealistic. The expense of healthy food, the extra time it takes to exercise, the motivation… not to mention the shaming we do to ourselves. The weight of the problems we face in life can be unbearable. How on earth could there be time to think about “holistic…

Create.
I had a moment of clarity today as I considered my day to day purpose in life. I believe we make it more complicated than it has to be… at least I do. I would say I am a pretty artistic person. I love to paint and draw. I enjoy making something out of nothing. …

Mind.
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.” Philippians 4:4-9 “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God Set your minds…

Imperfect.
Just something I’ve been thinking about lately… What’s the point of following Jesus and calling yourself a Christian if you know you’re going to mess up? I used to find my identity in being “good.” I always tried to do the right thing. As I got older and made decisions based on feelings and fell…

Stereotype.
Have you ever been misunderstood? Have you ever been stereotyped? I have. Sometimes stereotypes can be true, but being misunderstood can feel lonely and frustrating. Take Christianity for example. It’s one of the largest religions of the world. In my experience, it has been highly misunderstood by so many people; including myself over the years.…
