Ok, so this crazy thing occurred...I actually had this blog about 80% done earlier today, but tonight, well now this morning, I completely erased the work I had done and am choosing to rewrite. It sounds horrible I know but bear with me. Initially, the title was, "2019...thank you, next" which is a phenomenal connection... Continue Reading →
…A leader of soldiers
Wow what a month. For the most part training was way more relaxed than I expected. Day by day we would have our first formation at 0550, do a quick workout which really wasn't a workout (it's called Physical Readiness Training (PRT) and is a very minimal exercise plan for sustainment and minor strength growth)....

Joshua 1:9
My goodness if I could sum up in words what the days have been like since coming back from Colorado I would say: Insane, Beautiful, Stressful, Intense, Overwhelming, Surprising, Scary, Confusing, Wonderful, BUCKEYES, oh yeah! and God-filled. To start off, (since I didn't start with him first above) God moved in insane ways for the... Continue Reading →
You Came

Wow I know you missed me so much...the end of summer was stressful, emotional, exciting, no exhilarating is a better word, but basically I decided to use all that as an excuse to not write any end of the summer posts...UNTIL NOW! OK, so first off, below is the song that I dubbed... Continue Reading →
“Disobedience is Foolish”
Ok first off so sorry for the week off I began writing this blog and quickly realized my heart was not ready to really write about it!

From a very young age, my father began going on mission trips through our church to a small village in the Dominican Republic. Not long after, my mother, sisters, and I began to venture out on these... Continue Reading →
The Honor of a Lifetime (a small group leaders memoir)
The last 6 months leading up to LT were stock full of trials, uncertainty, and fear. Twice I considered not coming out to Colorado and instead considered staying at home, seeing a counselor, or perhaps working through my emotions alone in Columbus. Even a week and a half before we left, I still was unsure... Continue Reading →
The reason behind my addiction to hiking 14er’s
Last October I had this crazy idea, to go on some crazy summer trip, out to crazy Colorado, with my semi-crazy church. It's called Leadership Training (or LT for laziness sake), and personally I never thought I would be able to go while I was in college, due to my monthly responsibilities with the National...

Remembering I Have a Blog (and my biases in my new major)
Warning: adult-ish content below Wow ok so this perhaps is gonna make people laugh...but I genuinely forgot that I had a blog! (not really, but that's a good excuse for not writing one) Some updates in my life so far: Working on becoming a small group leader for my church team on campus Will... Continue Reading →
“Joyful Memories”
Joyful Memories Parenting is chalk full of hardships and adventures. And who better to talk about parenting than a 19-year-old, childless, college student. For real though, it’s about time adults my age began processing these topics before life as an adult, and perhaps future parent smacks us in the face. Just this past spring... Continue Reading →
