Encouragement
Deciding how your story will end…
You didn’t get to choose what country you were born in. You didn’t get to choose your background. You didn’t get to choose the family that raised you. You didn’t even get to choose your name. You didn’t get to choose how your began your life here on earth. But today… you can choose how […] Read more…
Searching for “something more”
I will be happy when… I marry the man of my dreams. I can afford to buy that Lamborghini. I live in that big house with a white picket fence. I get my dream job. I check everything off my bucket list. I have that important title I’ve been climbing up the corporate ladder for. […] Read more…

Can God be trusted?
I’m not going to lie. When I saw the clouds filling the sky on the day I planned to go skydiving I had this happy little feeling inside and I thought to myself “maybe, just maybe… they’ll cancel our jump because of the weather”. I know, I know, I’m such a brave soul. 😉 That […] Read more…
When Life Gives You Lemons
We’ve all heard the saying: “When life gives you lemons make lemonade”. I think it’s pretty cute and all, but it’s one thing to say something and another thing to actually turn it into reality. “Making lemonade” literally is pretty simple.

Waiting for a reason
