We hear the word algorithm everywhere these days. Social media platforms use it to decide what shows up in our feeds. Essentially, whatever we look at, linger on, or interact with is what we will continue to see. There have been days when I’ve found myself in a negative, heavy, discouraged place after scrolling through…

Make Heaven Crowded
Some days, I just sit and imagine it. Stepping into heaven, overwhelmed by light, peace, and joy. My Father looks into my eyes and says, “Well done, my child.” That moment—that beautiful promise— keeps me going. Especially now. Especially when the world feels so noisy, so divided, so full of pain. Maybe it’s the news….
Life is a Mosaic
There are so many stories from my life, moments I wish I could rewrite. Times when I treated others unkindly, times that I lied, and those occasions I spoke words I wish I could take back. Decisions I made in weakness, out of fear or frustration. These are simply facts of being human. Living in…
The Power of Identity
If you’re reading this, you may know me, but if you don’t, I’m just a normal girl who loves Jesus, makes mistakes, seeks joy, and is eternally grateful for everything in my life. I’m also a wife to an incredible husband. He is my rock. He’s my foundation when everything is crumbling around me. I’m…
forgiveness
Forgiveness. It’s complicated, difficult, and challenging. However, I am prepared to argue that being unwilling to forgive or show mercy is even more complicated and can cause senseless distress in our lives. Because we live in a fallen world, we can expect to be hurt by others. We will face trials, prejudice, lies, and pain….
Real Talk: Compassion Fatigue
Compassion Fatigue. If you work in healthcare, chances are, you have experienced this reality. It’s prevalent, misunderstood, and disheartening. Quite frankly, it’s a very lonely place to be. If you are constantly helping others, especially on the worst days of their lives, you could easily find yourself drowning in Empathic Distress. In addition, staffing shortages, high census, increased patient…
How Do I Do This?
This question has been heavy on my heart lately. How do I do this? How do I glorify God at work? Am I qualified to take on such a task? Real talk… sometimes I get frustrated and negative at work. Sometimes I participate in gossip. Sometimes patients ask so much of me that I shake…
a Radiation Therapist: during Covid-19
I haven’t posted in awhile… for a few reasons. Mostly, life. Over the last couple months, I have relocated and am part of a new Radiation team. Also, my last post was wildly loved, beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of… and I’m so grateful, but kind of intimidated. That being said, I only…
a Radiation Therapist…
I am a Radiation Therapist. My profession doesn’t define me, but it does say a lot about me. It tells a story about who I am. As a retired Radiation Therapist’s daughter, I saw through my dad who I wanted to be. I saw him coming home late because a patient needed extra care. I…
Adventures Await.
Adulting is overwhelming, am I right? The responsibilities are endless. Literally. You work to feed and clothe and shelter your loved ones. You grocery shop and clean the bathrooms. You fold clothes and meal prep for lunches. You scoop litter and change the oil in the vehicles. You go to ball games and help with…
