Filling my life with memories and moments rather than things
People tell me I take too many pictures. The truth? I do, not even going to act like I don’t. People tell me I post too many of these pictures on social media. Do I care? Absolutely not!! This is a beautiful world that my God created, and I will post God’s creation everywhere. He […]

When you’re in the wilderness
Sometimes it’s hard to pray. I’ve gone through seasons where talking to God just seems difficult. And I wonder, how is God perceiving that moment. I imagine it’s painful for him, to watch me struggling in life and in words. I want to seek God in my hard times, yet there were days where I […]

And There I Find You
The silence was supposed to be calming. But the quiet was so loud. I could hear each expiration, The wind wrestling with leaves, The crunching beneath my feet.
