Post Grad Life: 3 Months of Limbo

I sat in a coffee shop with my friend Emily, a large white cup and saucer we both agreed came out of a Friends episode rested between my hands. “It feels almost like you’re in limbo.” Those were my words to her while describing my life after college so far. I say limbo because manyContinue reading “Post Grad Life: 3 Months of Limbo”

Today, I am thrilled to announce that my first devotion has been published! ChristianDevotions.us is not only an organization dedicated to sharing God’s Word with the world, but they also pride themselves in helping new writers build a resume.

Donald Trump: Choose Love

Friday, January 20th, 2017. That morning you were doing one of two things: watching the Presidential Inauguration or not watching it. As for my family, we sat around our TV and watched history being made. It was the first inauguration that I was actually interested in seeing. I don’t have a taste for politics inContinue reading “Donald Trump: Choose Love”

Post-Grad Life: First Month

Walking across that stage and taking my diploma in hand was one of the most empowering experiences I’ve ever had. Getting a college degree is an accomplishment that not everyone can claim. I can now tell the world that I’m a college graduate, but having said that, the title comes with a little weight. Well,Continue reading “Post-Grad Life: First Month”

When You Fail at Your New Year’s Goals

Specialists say that eating a good breakfast can help you get through the day. Your average person may say a strong cup of coffee is the best way to start your morning. While I partake in both of these, I think God is the best source of energy, and there’s no better time like the peace and quiet of the early morning to power up.

I’m a Christian who Celebrates Hanukkah

I love decorating the dining room table for festive occasions, a trait I’ve learned from my mother who’s skilled in this particular area. Crystal candlestick holders, my parent’s wedding china, and a new freshly pressed blue tablecloth are spread about. The perfect fixings for a fancy table. At this time of year, you no doubt assumeContinue reading “I’m a Christian who Celebrates Hanukkah”

America Black and Blue

Let us fight for justice the way Jesus instructed us to fight.

The Purple GT

My summer job allows me to turn up the Christian radio and sip on my coffee as I spend the mornings driving all over town making deliveries. Those closest to me know that I’m not a huge fan of driving, so this job is definitely God’s way of pushing me out of my comfort zone.Continue reading “The Purple GT”

Glory be to Me!

I stood backstage with my fellow cast members as we waited for the houselights to go down. The pre-show butterflies fluttered around my stomach causing me to pace. Finally, the announcements began. It was nearly time to take the stage again in front of a new audience. This particular night, as the announcer prayed, IContinue reading “Glory be to Me!”

God, I will be so angry with you.

I had to usher Mom into the house, both of us on the verge of hysterics as we listened to the sound of one of our kittens crying out for help from atop a tree. It was only a matter of time when one of our two kittens, about 6 months old, would discover howContinue reading “God, I will be so angry with you.”
