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….
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….
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…
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…
#basic
I’ve been thinking a lot about identity this year. Maybe it’s because I turned 40. Maybe it’s because I always feel like I’m searching. Maybe it’s low self confidence or anxiety. Maybe it is just that season of my life. I can’t really put my finger on it, but it’s been on my mind a…
Motivation {or the lack of}
Let’s talk a bit about motivation, shall we? When we start any kind of new journey, motivation fills our life and our thoughts, right? We believe in this… …and maybe along the way, these wonderfully motivational quotes, seem a little… well… cliche. Am I right? As we live our journey, we will start to have…
Outside Looking In
So, the other day, I mentioned that I didn’t have any plans after work. My normal week night evenings generally consist of working out or running, Dave making dinner, and then sitting down to watch our shows on DVR. After sharing this, a coworker said to me that I was ‘living the dream’… Really? Who’s…
choices.challenges.change.
“The choices we make, dictate the lives we lead. To thine own self be true.” – Danny Devito (Renaissance Man) This may have been an quiet, obscure movie, but this poignant quote has been a constant for me for most of my adult life. As I sit here in my back yard around the fire…
