This week, it was not quite as easy to get up when my 5:30am alarm went off. But my desire to spend time with Jesus won over my body’s desire for an extra half hour of sleep. And every day I was so thankful that I did. THIS WEEK’S FOCUS WAS: God’s work in us […]

freedom conference 2017/2018
Although I had already gone through the Freedom curriculum / conference back in 2016, I felt the need to go through it again now that I was in a different season of life and I had different topics I wanted to settle in my heart. I joined a group with girls that were in their […]

21 days of prayer & fasting – week 1
My alarm going off at 5:30am every morning and getting up to get ready for the day so I could sit at my iPad with breakfast in front of me and my attention fully on the prayer service was surprisingly easy this week. Sure, I was ready to go to bed around 9pm every night, […]

the journey to buying our first home
When we first got married, we lived in the finished basement of some family friends. It was like an apartment – 2 bed, 1 bath, big kitchen – it was great and an amazing place to move into as newlyweds. 6 months into our marriage, we put a “move to Alabama” date on the calendar. […]
3rd semester of highlands college overview
Guys – this past semester has by far been the craziest, most stressful, intense, exhausting, challenging semester I’ve had in Highlands College thus far. I think a big part of it was the last 2 semesters I wasn’t working, and I was really struggling with my time management skills and physical exhaustion. Being in the […]
