The Three Stooges

I opened my eyes this morning just in time to see the door to my room crack open. I have been sleeping on a mattress on the floor in my brother’s room over Christmas break. When you have eleven or more people staying in the house, you kind of have to make due with whatever […]

Christmas Traditions and Family

So it’s been a few days since I have written anything new on here. But then again, the last few days have been pretty occupied with that little thing people celebrate around this time of year… yeah, Christmas!
It’s been a beautiful Christmas break. My whole family came home to Franklin for Christmas break — yes, all […]

Hebrews 10 - Perseverance

I was pointed to a few verses in Hebrews 10 today. One of my friends gave me the verse Hebrews 10:23 to memorize. It says, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”
A call to persevere…

Five days

It’s five days until Christmas. CRAZYNESS… When on earth did Christmas decide to show up? It’s still like 60 degrees outside. Pretty much crazy.
I worked at Panera Bread again today. After another late night watching Hidalgo with my little brother, Johnny, I woke up around 8:00… and was at work from 9:00 to 4:30. I […]

Photography… just one of the things I love.

So photography, if you couldn’t tell from the random pictures I have posted on here throughout the last few weeks, is definitely something I am really passionate about. I’ve really been into it for about the last three or four years now. I started out with borrowing my dad’s old 35 mm film camera. I […]

First day back to work

Today was my first day back to work at the good ole Panera Bread that I worked at all this past summer before starting my freshman year at Covenant College. It was cool to head back to work and see old faces. It’s funny how the people there have become like my second family… we […]

Contemplation on God’s doings…

Today was just been one of those days in which I’ve just spent thinking and contemplating about life… it’s hard not to wonder sometimes whether or not God really knows what He is doing. You know what I mean? So many times I catch myself doubting or questioning decisions that God makes or things He […]

Not simply a soccer game… Covenant sports

So I was just thinking back to this past semester… I still can’t believe I am officially done my first semester at Covenant College! Yeah… pretty much amazing, I know. Covenant College is a school — granted. But there is SO much about Covenant that makes it SO much more than just another university or […]

Finally done

It’s such a beautiful feeling being done with final exams… and knowing that you have successfully completed the first semester of college life. That’s me — right here, right now. I had my last final this morning in biology.
God, thank you. Thank you for giving me the strength and endurance to finish…

I have learning a […]

Defined by Christ

One thing that I have been learning in life the last few days and weeks… is that I am not defined by my past. Mistakes I have made, sins I have committed, people I have thought bad of… God has forgiven all of it! My past does not define who I am today. God does. […]
