“My mom has cancer.” “My sister is unsaved.” “My grandma is dying.” I used to hear these statements and marvel at these people. To me, they were superhuman. Their level of faith had somehow “leveled them up” by like 50 levels and I therefore had not right to help them in any way. Who was …
I’ve always been forgetful. My mom begs to differ, but really: I have a Dory complex. While I was at camp, I locked myself out of my room at least six times because I forgot to unlock it in the morning. Just today and yesterday, I forgot my student ID card for required college activities. …
If you guys have been following along on our Instagram (especially my personal Instagram), you know my mom has been battling breast cancer.

Hey there, beloved! How’s your quarantine going? I wanted to chat about loneliness today. I’m an introvert, yet—yes—quarantine still gets me in a funk sometimes. I don’t go as stir crazy, perhaps, as an extrovert, but no one wants to be 100% alone! (P.S. I’m not ignoring you extroverts! I’ll be focusing on you next …
Happy new week, beloved ones! Are you guys hanging in there? I’m super excited because I’m writing a new book. It was meant to be a devotional, but the format became more like a book. I can’t complain! Last night I was writing into the wee hours of the night. God had put a lot …
