Hello, Summer!
I feel like there’s lots of jokes about summer. In Southern states, one may hear, “We have four seasons. Summer, summer, summer, and about two weeks of winter.” In the Pacific Northwest and the Rockies Mountain states, one may hear, “We have four seasons. Winter, winter, winter, and road construction [read, summer].” But people also…

A Day In My Life
Since Elizabeth, Katelyn, and I live in 3 different states, we do not get to see each other in our day-to-day lives and therefore rely on texting and the occasional FaceTime to learn more about each other’s lives. I hope you enjoy learning about our different lives as much as we enjoy chatting about them…

A Slice of My Life
When we decided that this week, our theme was “a day in the life,” I thought it was such a neat idea. Then I got stumped. I kept thinking how most of my day revolves around confidentiality and privacy. Not something that I can very well show you. As I thought about what to write,…

From the Frying Pan to the Fire
January is finally over! I don’t know about you, but for me, January has been the longest, coldest month. It’s also been filled with twists and turns in the road—and a couple of sudden drops that left me screaming the whole way down. I can still feel my stomach lurching as if I plummeted through…

How to Sabbath
Self-care and rest have always been hard for me to figure out. Sometimes I’m really unmotivated, and I want to rest before I work. I’ve struggled with depression most of my life, so being motivated and holding myself accountable is challenging. As a result of trying to get everything done and not fall back into…

Soul Care
What do you think of when you hear the phrase “self care”? Maybe you are like me and you think of the worldly version like taking a bubble bath, doing a face mask, getting a massage, getting your nails done, ordering your favorite coffee drink, or reading a good book. Or maybe your brain goes…

Be Still
I don’t know about you, but it was so much fun to read Abbi and Katelyn’s post about fall and what they were looking forward to. I hope it felt like you were reading a letter from them, because it certainly felt that way for me. Before I begin this post, I would like to…

Being Free in Still Waters
Psalm 23 allows us to let go of all our worries and anxieties so that we can rest peacefully.
