We all have some degree of perfectionism in us, and while chasing goals and setting standards can be motivating, it can also cause problems when we don't reach our super-high goals. I'm talking about my own experience as a perfectionist, and how shifting perspectives can help solve the 'problems of perfectionism', especially as a...
Have you been picking up on the inspo from my recent posts (on here and on Instagram)?! I go between feeling so inspired and filled with God’s grace, and feeling like things I do don’t really make a difference… The world can feel so overwhelmingly huge, and it's easy to lose sight of...
Today I’m writing you from New York City! I’m here visiting for a few days with my mom and sister. My sister’s spring break is next week so it worked out to take a quick trip over the weekend. The three of us went to NYC for a couple spring break years ago (I...

I’m usually not one for trying to make major changes with the start of a new calendar year. Like I talked about in this post, I think ‘goals’ are a lot more about intentional ways of living than about making lists that look pretty. However, with my birthday, Christmas, and New Year’s all...
Who is God calling you to be? I’m going to honest, friend (from now through the very end of this post, so sit tight and get ready to get real), for the last six months or so, I had no idea. I didn't really know how to trust God and His call for me....
Amidst all the shopping, commercials, and holiday gift guides, it’s too easy to lose the true meaning of the season: God’s ultimate gift of His son, Jesus.
