A Prayer for Your Future

Thinking about your future is kind of a hard thought to avoid.  I don’t love thinking about it because it always initiates stressful thoughts about who and what and where and how.  I don’t have those answers, but I’m the kind of personality that would absolutely rather have the answers than just guess what the next step in life is.

These past few months I have continued to catch myself stressing…

10 Ways to Save Money in College

If you’re a college student, it’s likely that you have realized at this point in the semester, especially as you think about spring break, that you have little to no money to spend.  You’ve been straight livin’ these past seven months and don’t really know where all of your money has gone.  All of those late night donut runs, coffee dates with new friends, taco escapades, and shopping…

How I Went From Shackles to Set Free

We always hear about those church experiences or times when the Spirit of the Lord has just rocked someone’s world and they were completely wrecked for Jesus.  So cool.  I’ve always wanted to be absolutely wrecked for Jesus and in November, it happened.  Lemme talk to ya about freedom.

A while back I wrote a postabout how I found my home in a church called C3 while I lived in Australia.  In…

How to Pursue Jesus in College

Hey hey what’s up?!  Life is so good, y’all…literally just so good.  I just got back to my dorm from The Gathering, which is a weekly night of worship accompanied by an occasional message.  It’s mostly worship, though, which is awesome because worship is my absolute favorite thing.  I feel so inspired right now and God is moving in my heart as I write this so I just have to share.

God laid it on…

Finding Confidence in College

Oh, hey!  It has been so long and I am so happy to be able to come back to y’all.  This summer has been absolutely crazy and I had no time to write anything which was such a bummer, but it was also a good time of rest from blogging.  So here I am, refreshed and ready to share all that I have to give with y’all.

For those of you who don’t know, a few weeks ago I began college in Arizona.  Unlike…

A while back someone told me my name meant grace.  I looked it up and found out that my name translates to Hannah, and in Hebrew that means favor or grace.  I laughed at that one.  I was like, “yea, my name of all people means grace”.  I don’t feel like a very graceful person at all.  I trip, I mess up, and I have at least six bruises on my legs right now because I run into things (granted the…

A Dinner Table Prayer

Today God put in on my heart to dedicate part of my blog to prayer.  So, I decided that I would create a bi-weekly prayer post for different occasions or different people.  Let me know your thoughts!

This one is for the dinner table, whether that be at your home, at a restaurant, with friends, or with family.

Dear God,

Thank You for this day and all that it has been.  I pray that we remember all…

Selfish or Set Free?

As I was walking through some neighborhood I didn’t mean to be in, I began to think about all of the people I encounter in a day.  If you really sit down and ponder that, you’ll probably notice that you encounter a lot of people throughout the day.  You walk by people on the sidewalk.  You pass people sitting at the cafe you usually get coffee at.  You stand in line for the bus behind several…

Australian Adventure pt. 1 & 2

Now that I basically have to start over in terms of posts, I thought I’d give you a bit more of my stay here in Australia.  I’ve compiled a slideshow of the first two months and I haven’t added everything, but I’ve added a few of the highlights.  Enjoy!

No Longer a Burden

A friend of mine once pressured me to tell him what was on my heart.  He could tell that whatever it was had been taking me over and drawing out all of my energy and enthusiasm.  I denied telling him the answer for the longest time because I didn’t want my burdens to become his burdens.  The thought of him thinking about and dwelling on my burdens troubled me and I made a conscious effort to not…
