This week, the Lord taught me something valuable, something that melts me deep to the core and reveals my flaws. He showed me that I desire to be my own Savior and that I want to earn His affection (even though it has already been freely given to me through the cross). I value independence….

No Place I would Rather Be
No place I would rather be, than here in your love, here in your love. I am sure most of you have heard and sang this song. But today, I am praying and yearning for this to be true in my life. I desire this and want my heart to be transformed to say this…
Freedom from Comparison
Comparison is one word that describes our society. We compete. We fight to be the best. We win. And if we don’t, we compare. It is engrained into us as young children to pursue excellence, but over time that lesson is expounded into a desire for perfection; a desire to be number one; a need…
What is Hindering you? (K2 pt. 2)
Y’all. There is so much I learned at kamp and so much I want to share with each of you. God did a mighty work in me at that little town called Lampe, MO and I want that mighty work not to be just a flame that is easily blown out, but a fire that…
What is True Confidence?
True confidence is a soulful characteristic… Those who have it are deeply unique. Many search for it, many more long for it, but very few find it. Some people think confidence is for that special individual; the extraordinary someone who radiates perfection. They walk with an aroma of lightheartedness and peace that seems unattainable. What…
The Joy of Christmas
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! The stockings are hung carefully over the fireplace; the presents are neatly wrapped and complete with a bow; the tree is decorated with an array of childhood memories and expired cookie ornaments. Everyone seems to be in a rush to make everything just perfect for the…
Welcoming Brokenness
For Christmas this year, my friends teamed up and bought me one of the coolest presents I have ever received. It was a sweatshirt that says “Your Brokenness is Welcome Here.” (Check it out at theSoulScripts.com!!) But yeah, take that in for a second. I LOVE that message! It is essentially the Gospel summed up…
Life-Giving Friendships
Y’all. College is a place of so much growth and so much discovery. But it can also be a place of withering and discomfort. However, if you embrace the struggle in the right way, it will push you to Jesus and to new people and to exciting adventures that you never thought you would embark…
Growing Pains
It’s funny when you make a blog post about something you are really passionate about and truly desire to act on and then Satan takes your words and turns them against you. He takes the God given desires and uplifting life-changing mindsets and convinces you that you could never live out those words, that you’re…
Thank You Jesus
Y’all. God is so so good. But I forget this WAY more than I remember it. I mean this life is so distracting. I get overwhelmed by the flood of assignments, tests, volleyball games, meetings, and not to mention the necessity of a social life (am I right?). The devil constantly surrounds us with things…
Joyfully His.
