monday morning encouragement: grab your bag & go
Yesterday I texted my oldest brother & asked him, “How hard is it to get to Italy?”. Not even a full minute later he called me & we spent the next hour and a half talking about over seas travel, mission trips, & traveling to new cities. Out of my entire family, he’s the…

monday morning encouragement: say goodbye to the monday feels
If you’ve got the Monday feels, then raise your hand. Did you do it? Well I’m just gonna assume that you did. Because you’re human. Because you’re at work. Because it’s not the weekend. And mainly because we all hate Monday’s because it’s the day that feels like death. We left our life back there…

monday morning encouragement: when all hope seems to be lost, it’s really not
If you’re friends with me for more than a week then you’ll soon found out that I’m pretty clumsy. Last weekend for instance, I fell down the stairs at my friend’s house because my shoes slipped. The weekend before that I hit my head climbing into my own car. And this past weekend I…

monday morning encouragement: remember what it’s all about
It’s Christmas week! And that’s the most exciting thing ever. But today, you’re probably stuck at work, running around frantically finishing up shopping, or in a crowded loud house with your screaming kids because they’re on school break. You’re most likely stressed, tired, over baking Christmas cookies, upset your pants don’t fit, & are…

an ode to being 22 & to hoping they’ll still like me when I’m 23…
Today is my birthday & I am now 23. It’s weird to be this older age, yet still so young. A lot has happened this last year; tons of things that were welcoming & a few things that were completely uninviting. This year had it’s moments where it pushed me & shaped me, & one’s…

monday morning encouragement: give what you can, because it is always enough
It’s that time of the year where I feel like we’re expected of so much—so much giving, so much gifting, so much spending, so much needed time, so much, so much, so much. It’s an overwhelming season & it drains the best of us. Most of us just feel like we have nothing left…

monday morning encouragement: be confident in who you are
Sometimes you find yourself at a standstill & you don’t know what to do. Your feet are firmly planted, but you can feel yourself start to sway from left to right. You need to move forward, but your mind is holding you back. You’re stuck in the ice & you don’t know if it’ll…

monday morning encouragement: just a quick reminder
So often in life I think we let the opinions of others rule our lives as if what they have to say is the definite truth. We take something someone has to say about us & let it dictate the way we see ourselves or the things we’re involved in. But we all have…

monday morning encouragement: quit slacking & start acting
It’s another Monday. One that I swear I have lived before, & that’s because I have. It’s the same as last week. It’s the same as a month ago. It’s even the same Monday as two years ago. And that’s because I’m really good at letting things not change in my life. I’m really…

monday morning encouragement: you have to just keep going
It’s Monday today. Not like you didn’t already know that. But it still had to be said. It has to be aknowledged, whether you want to accept it or not. The truth is that today exists & you must live it. I don’t know what your yesterday held, or how your weekend went, but…
Be encouraged. Be inspired. Be seen.
