I looked forward to my golden birthday for a long time. It wasn't bad, but it was certainly not the birthday I was expecting it to be. Jonathan and I went for a walk at a trail nearby and upon arrival, we got in a stupid fight and ended up taking separate paths. Honestly, we …
Honest Quarantine Thoughts
Honestly, I'll just open this right up with this one statement. This is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced. I've gotta say, I never expected to resign from my position and almost immediately be faced with a global health pandemic. It's definitely stretching and testing my faith. Most days, I think I'm doing alright. …
Quarantine + How I’m Thriving
COVID-19 has made its appearance in my county. It was a homeschooled student, however, all schools are out for the rest of the month. Needless to say, things have taken a turn for sure in my community. I'm set for the foreseeable future in the department of disposable paper products. I'm accustomed to buying Amazon …
A New Chapter…
It has been over a month since I last wrote on this blog and friends, there was a very good reason. Over the last four weeks, I have been on a path I did not truly expect to be on this year. I took a time out for self-reflection and to hear from God about …

I want to take you back in time for a moment. There's a story I rarely get to share that really tells the story of God's provision and goodness. This journey starts in August 2016. I got back from a summer-long internship with Next Step Ministries at their Joplin, Missouri site on August 12, 2016. …
I just love my home.
It was maybe a year ago when I stumbled upon a channel that was recommended to me on YouTube called Mrs. Midwest, which I later found out is also a blog written by Caitlin Huber. She creates content about female-related topics, especially centering around femininity and traditional living. I've never been super normal, honestly. Growing …
What I’m Eating: Dairy & Wheat Free
If you're new here and aren't sure why I am sharing about eating dairy and wheat free, go ahead and check out some of my previous, recent posts. I'll spare you the backstory this time. Firstly, there is one ingredient I will be mentioning in this post that is not truly dairy-free, and that is …
Progress. I’ll take it.
I am very happy to report that I have been feeling better ever since I have eliminated dairy, wheat, and sesame. I also have improved the lingering sensation of stuck food bits in my throat by gargling immediately after each meal with a product called Alkalol. I still have a week to go before my …
Got my results back.
I got a call from the nurse and she let me know that the results came back normal. Normal is good. Normal eliminates a lot of bad things. Normal gets us closer, but normal is not the end. It's a weird feeling, because this news should be a relief and that's it. But, I know …
