I will admit I like consistency and structure. I’m not necessarily a live for the moment type person or go-with-the-flow as change occurs, but I’m learning to love each moment knowing that when that moment passes it will never exist again. In racing to the next meeting or plowing through a laundry list of to-dos … Continue reading

“An unmarried woman is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world – how she can please her husband. I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but … Continue reading

This summer I went backpacking through France and Italy with one of my best friends, Rachel. Mind you, neither of us knew French or Italian, but we didn’t allow a language barrier to stop our adventure! Hopping on a plane traveling across the world to explore a country that neither of us have ever been … Continue reading
