Hello friends! It has been a hot moment since I have spoken to you all. That comes from a few reasons: COVID has been quite the transformative experience for me. (As I am sure it has been for everyone).My life changed pretty drastically in March (I'll blog about that at a later date).I realized, I… Continue reading Writing what I know
Creamed corn
It has come to my attention that I am in serious danger of becoming a food blogger. In the midst of the pandemic, I have found many ways to be creative, and food is at the top of the creative list. I have graduated from dishes that I have eaten in my childhood and made… Continue reading Creamed corn
Quarantine has turned me into a new person
The update I am about to give you is unparalleled to anything this blog has seen. The amount of different things that I have conquered is endless. You are not prepared. First and foremost, I now consider myself a decent cook! No, I still don't follow recipes to the letter of the law (recipe?) but… Continue reading Quarantine has turned me into a new person
The perfect woman: a resource
Hello! Happy Wednesday! Again, I am going through my camp resources and documenting all of the little Bible studies I planned through the years. And here is another one for you! I would say this resource would be best for middle/high school students, ages 12 - 17. On a piece of paper, draw the most… Continue reading The perfect woman: a resource
life long dream of the week
It surprises me that I haven't spoken to you all about this. I say this phrase all of the time. I believe it is from the children's show The Angry Beavers, but it's been so long that I don't remember. Google doesn't seem to remember either. Take my word for it. When I was young,… Continue reading life long dream of the week

College is about the transition into adulthood, experience your first money problems, and grow into your career.… Continue reading Group project syndrome

Happy Wednesday, y'all! It seems like a great day to talk about work. In one month, I will hit my one year work-aversary. In one month, we mark the time where I graced my team with my presence. Milestones such as these necessitate reflection and lists upon lists of what we learned. Recently I have… Continue reading Seconds of celebration
A lost sheep: a resource
My first summer of working at a Christian summer camp was many things, one of which was formative. It was there when I learned to love speaking to small groups or individuals about Jesus. Not necessarily preaching, but advocating for God's causes and speaking direct truth into lives of people I knew and loved. Maybe… Continue reading A lost sheep: a resource
the worst critic
This doesn't seem to be ground breaking, the words I'm about to say. I'm mostly just writing them down because I've said them to three incredible people in a matter of days. I just discussed work with my old college friend. He is working hard, hitting his work-aversary. You could hear it in his voice… Continue reading the worst critic
The vast ocean
It's the kind of peace when you can hear your heart beat in your ears.It's contradictory - hopeful and hopeless.Brokenness and Put-together-ness.I'm in the middle of the ocean; there's no land in sight.It's contradictory - relaxing and startling.Alone and lonely.The potential paths and possibilities make me wonder about the future.It's contradictory - empowering and debilitating.Safe… Continue reading The vast ocean
