the story

Hello.

Lover of words. Believer in the goodness of God. Recently-discovered extrovert who’s always down for a dance party, a second cup of coffee, and listening to stories so I can probably write them into a book one day. Also a big fan of running, graphic design, photo, video, and the Oxford comma.

"I tried so hard to grasp for control that I totally lost it, and isn't it funny that that's where God usually finds us, or rather that we find Him...The slow, transformative work of Jesus is happening literally right now, it's just our job to wake up and notice it. And let Him continue to move in us, despite our stubbornness and self-deception." This feels a little like coming back to life. New blog post in the bio: Despite the stubbornness and self-deception.

Grief is really real and sometimes it hits at literally the most inconvenient times. There doesn’t have to be an anniversary or a birthday, but just a small moment of remembering. Yesterday, I sat through the last 10 minutes of a sermon after running around, and I was reminded that one day, God is going to reunite all things and heal all that is broken. That’s the hope that we get to cling to, especially when the holiday season gets difficult. Missing little Layla a whole lot more than I think I ever have, but today I’m grateful that God shows himself in the kindness of a friend providing Monday morning coffee and in “Let It Go.”

Glory. #ATLUnited #MLSCup (Never got emotional at a sporting event, tonight that changed)

In the advent book I’m currently walking through, I read something the other day that really hit me hard: GOD ASKS US TO GIVE AWAY EVERYTHING OF OURSELVES. Let that hit you where it needs to. Our gifts are not ours but rather a means for God to show people Himself. These days have been really full but really beautiful, and yes, my desk perpetually looks like this. I’ve never felt so present and aware of gratitude than I have in this season, and that’s something really sweet. Soaking in these last few days of the internship and excited to dive into a lot of new ground and challenging territory. Don’t let the last few weeks of December pass by without really going for it. There’s more for you today. Look for it.

In the midst of a season of self-sufficiency, I had a very sweet reminder from God this morning behind these computers. This week was heavy, like very heavy in ways I couldn’t figure out how to articulate, and it wasn’t because of anything that was directly impacting me. There were actually a lot of very exciting and hopeful and celebratory moments in my life this week, but there was this weird, looming sadness in a lot of moments. And I think that cloud was serving as a reminder that I haven’t had a dependency on God. When things are going really well, it is so easy for me to find my worth in the work I’m doing, which means I feel like I’ve got it all figured out and I don’t need God. That isn’t true at all. We ought to always have a deep desperation to see God lifted up through the work we get to do. And while I am grateful beyond words in this season to be able to spend all my time and energy on what feels like literally all of the things I’m passionate about, it was sweet of God to pull me back and remind me what it was all for in the first place: that I may bring glory and that His Kingdom might be brought nearer to earth.

Fell in love with this company more than I ever imagined in these past few months, and I’m SO PUMPED to announce that my time with @elevateexperiences isn’t over. Grateful beyond words to become @billyboughey’s Brand Assistant, to keep shooting off confetti cannons, and to continue helping people and organizations live and lead at a higher level. 📸: @nicolebegan1 makin my dreams come true

Really big fan of this weekly(ish) date night thing we’ve got going on, @sarahebryan.

New blog in the bio. Monday (afternoon) pick-me-up: go harder than you’ve gone all year. “Take deeper breaths. Take moments for yourself. But go hard, harder than you’ve gone all year. Get the things done that you’ve dreamt about. Do things for other people, and do them with a grateful heart. There’s a balance, but I believe you were meant for better things than you’re currently doing. And you have it in you.”

I have a WHOLE LOT to be thankful for, and if you know me, you know I’ve been tearing up (read: sobbing) because of how grateful I am for this season of life. Today I’m thankful for a family that makes each other laugh like nobody’s business and a family that has appeased me in writing down what they’re grateful for since I was in kindergarten. Couldn’t do it without them. #thankfulthankfulthankful
