I’m not sure when I noticed how I would lock up, when I lost that child like instinct of community free of judgements and self conscious thoughts.

Children don’t think of the … Continue reading »
Wherever I am.
Summer is O-FFIC-IALL-Y here and people are going places. People are spending summers in London, Africa, China, and awesome places within the borders of the good ole U-S of A. I’m excited for them; I’m excited for my trip to Guatemala. 26. Days. Crazy. Ever since high school I’ve had the travel bug. I would … Continue reading »

day 17: the pursuit
We talked about His love last night at community group and falling recklessly in love with Jesus everyday.
