I’m not a great writer, but it’s easy to write about your favorite subject huh? Rachel and I met through youth group at the church we attended. It wasn’t until my senior year in high school that I stepped my game up. We went on a mission trip together to a place called Ambassador Camp. […]

Thomas and I worked together this summer in Etna, California at a guest ranch (clearing up myth number 1 that he flew to Cali to propose). This summer was amazing. I got to see him lead, serve, grow, be humbled and had the unique opportunity to share a community together. Because we are long distance, […]

Digression is the worst. It’s also a lie. Progression is movement in the forward direction. Digression, however, is movement in the opposite direction of previous movement.   Recently I’ve been believing the lie that my grieving process, or honestly all processes in my life, have been at a digress.

Today I learned that if I ask, I will receive. When I arrived in California, there were a couple of things I wish I had packed and forgot at home. (This always happens to me when I travel) I sat and contemplated on asking my mom or a couple of friends to send them my way.   […]

I promised to share my stories of how the Lord fulfills His promises; be encouraged! Today I worked on a ropes course named “High Ropes.” It’s exactly what it sounds like, a course 50 feet up in the trees of California. I was stationed in an evergreen waiting for guests to climb up in order […]

Sometimes the Lord has to take you to extreme places to teach you the most extraordinary things. For me, He took me across the country. Here I am, sitting in my new home, writing what the Lord is teaching me. I knew I was coming to JH Ranch to serve and work but hardly knew […]
