Hi.

“In this life you will have trouble, but fear not, I have overcome the world.”

This world and the part we play in it is beautiful. Yes, there is brokenness, but I want to look for the beauty of our redemption in it. The Lord has made all things new, even as He is in the process of making us new.

Join me in looking for the beauty in life through thoughts and poems. I am so glad you are here.

Brief Introductions

So I have been thinking a lot lately about labels.  Things that help you quickly characterize people.  Things that make you feel like you know them, even if you don’t.  It is astonishing to me how completely accurate and very off they can be at the same time.  How they tell you everything about someone and nothing at all.  So here is me in labels.  Hopefully this will give you a place to start.  A peak into my life.  But here is to getting deeper.

My life in labels:

  • Twenty (almost 30!) something woman

  • Newlywed to my best friend

  • Interracial couple

  • Follower of Jesus

  • Dog Mom

  • Coffee Drinker (learning to drink tea)

  • Fitness enthusiast

  • Majored in nutrition (with a freezer fully stocked with frozen pizza and ice cream)

  • Book Lover

  • Introvert

  • Small town girl (with a love of visiting the city)

  • Former Missionary

  • Ministry wife

  • Morning person

  • Shower singer

  • Crime show addict

  • Beach enthusiast

  • Minimalist

  • Closet goofball

  • Oldest child 

  • INTJ (for all you Myers Briggs fans)

The list could go on and on.  I am sure my husband and friends could add to the list, but some of those may be embarrassing so we will just leave it at that.  There is more to the story, but that is a good start.
