I Gave Up Blogging

I know that’s ironic reading that statement on my, well, blog. But, I really did give it up, and now I’m back, and well let’s just say that I decided to ungive up. Friends, it has been almost a year since I posted my last blog post, and well, life has been nothing short of an upside down roller coaster since that last post.

I Suck at New Year’s Resolutions

Confession: I suck at New Year’s resolutions. It’s true. Any sort of goal setting, resolution type situation I try to put myself into, it’s like I’m intentionally setting myself up for failure. I’ve tried making smaller, more manageable goals, I’ve tried having friends be accountability partners for resolutions…. The longest I’ve lasted was about two weeks.

I’m Keeping You at Arm’s Length

Confession: I’m keeping you at arm’s length. Ok, I may not be keeping you specifically at arm’s length; I may not even know you. But hear me out… A question I hear a lot lately is “why is finding community so hard?” I can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had over the last year […]

Full-Time Ministry Has Made Me Cynical

Confession: Full-time ministry has made me cynical. Go ahead. Point your finger, judge me, be confused or disappointed. I’ve been there.

I’m a Millennial and I Fit the Stereotype

You’ve probably noticed over the last several years that Millennials have become quite the hot topic. People love us, hate us, defend us, and try to tear us down… sometimes all at once

I Find Comfort in Ice Cream

Lately I’ve deeply felt the weight of the fallen nature of this world. Have you? Just turn on the news, scroll through twitter, follow a few links on Facebook, or simply spend some time eavesdropping in your local coffee shop. Trust me, give it long enough and you’ll start to feel it…

I Easily Forget

I easily forget. I’d say I have a good memory. It fascinates me, though, how my memory can be so reliable and yet unreliable at the same time. God created us so intricately and wonderfully designed, yet we’re still human.This week, as I’ve reflected on Easter and all that Resurrection Sunday means, I’ve been reminded of just how easily I forget.

I Don’t Think Life is Like a Box of Chocolates

Nothing against our pal, Forrest Gump. I’m sure he meant well when he infamously said “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” I’m also sure he didn’t mean for these lines to be deeply philosophical. Valentine’s Day was last week, though, and in the midst of the aisles of unwanted, marked down boxes of chocolate that are collecting dust on the shelves this week, I’ve started to realize how much life is changing.
