“The secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt that He is.” I can’t believe the convincing it took to get me home to this beautiful place just 3 months ago. I dragged my feet back up North in June from San Luis Obispo praying some unexpected miracle could possibly be the…

messy thoughts that won’t leave me alone
I don’t know what the meaning of life is. My heart’s first reaction is God. The meaning of life is God. But I don’t really know what that means. I don’t really know who, or what, God is either. Maybe the meaning of life is finding out who God is. Sometimes I think God is…
Nudge?
Business school is definitely not the easiest place to feel or look like a follower of God. Truthfully, stepping between school and the church, I feel looked down upon because “pursuing a career in finance” doesn’t exactly sound as selfless and Christian-ish as pursing nursing, teaching, ministry, etc. Here’s the paradox that seems to be…

Fruitful
Ephesians 3:17-19 I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power together to grasp how wide and how long and how deep is the love of Christ. A month ago, I wouldn’t have bet a million dollars that folding laundry for a month would change my life. But I left 25 days of…
