Praise and Prayer
Lately, I’ve been thinking about having spiritual habits. By this, I mean having habits of saying, praying, and doing things in obedience to Scripture that point me toward Christ, remind me of truth, and verbally or physically puts myself in places of submission. I do not mean that we can…

Mission Statement
This blog has transformed a lot since I started in 2020. From being a personal journal of sorts, to the place I processed coming out of legalism, to losing access to it entirely in 2023, it’s been a whirlwind for sure. As I’ve been taking my online presence more seriously,…

On Seeking Lonely Places
Ask any introvert (ahem, yours truly) and we’ll tell you; being alone rocks! Give me my office, a Ludovico Eunaudi playlist, a good latte, my laptop, and I’m good to go! Could stay there for hours being “lonely” and come away smiling, with a sad sigh that I’m once again…

Who’s Watching You?
Lately, as anyone who follows me on Facebook knows, I’ve been swimming a lot. While I would love to say that my goal is the 2028 olympics, realistically, I am seeking to walk in obedient stewardship of my body, and tend to my mental health; swimming brings me great joy.…

Nothing But The Blood
If you’ve been following along this blog of any amount of time, you likely know that I struggle with legalism. It is quite common for me to feel like I’m backsliding if I don’t do my quiet time, don’t pray a certain way, or do certain spiritual practices. One day…
