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…
Wholehearted Health
I believe in health, but I know that is complicated. I know that my relationship with diet and exercise could be improved. Like a lot of women, I tend to calorie-count, exercise obsess, and feel guilty about what I eat far too often. However, I am blessed to have a sense of self-awareness that keeps…

These types of moments are designed for goosebumps. They’re…
Be Strong & Take Heart
In my distress, I called out to the Lord and He answered me. -Jonah 2:2 God doesn’t always give us the answer we want to hear. It’s taken me a long time to learn that. I might not always fully understand His plan. Why does God cause heartbreak? Am I foolish to feel joy and peace and…
Running to Healthy
Song of songs 4:7 – You are altogether beautiful, my darling, there is no fault within you. I have always loved running. I’ve always loved fitness & eating healthy & overall living a lifestyle that makes my body feel good. There’s nothing wrong with this! Heck, I am so lucky that God gave me a naturally…
