I’ve seen so much of God’s faithfulness in the local people here in these past few weeks. In some ways, the pace of ministry has slowed down a bit, as happens from time to time, but one of the frequent conversations has covered the idea that “maybe we’ve just become adjusted to this as the …

burn out often brings blessing with it // & free wallpaper
Do y’all remember the time when you had no concept of this season of time of this global… weirdness? *My attempt not to use the dreaded word that’s in every post and conversation lately. Well, I realized again this afternoon (it’s a weekly thought by now) that life just isn’t the same. An upperclassman and …
6 Months in the Philippines
Woah, woah, woah. It’s been almost seven months since I posted an update here?? It’s crossed my mind many times – once I even opened up my draft and placed a few words on the page. I’ve been working to write monthly private emails with details and photos about life here in the Philippines, my …
mid-race joy
I learned something about joy this week. the other morning I was woken before my alarm literally feeling and sensing so much about my life and the status of things happening around me. has that ever happened to you? for just a few moments I felt so aware of my existence, of my weakness, of …
I’m enrolled
I am SO EXCITED and filled with JOY. want to know why? I got accepted into Newlife International Midwifery School…!!! once again, the Lord shows me himself and gives direct answers to prayer.

passport application & a new year ahead
well, this week has been an exciting one. Not because of resolutions or forgetting what is behind me or even looking way off into the future, but because God has really meshed all of those things together in my mind to start the year off, and I am so excited to really start growing in …
faithful in the little things (( habit tracker download ))
here we are in October. already. don’t get me wrong, I love changing seasons and the start of a new month – it feels like permission to start over, just like a new week or a new year. the downside, as I’m sure you can relate, is the fact that it’s also such a convicting …
basic training departure
well that was an emotionally exhausting week. I don’t remember feeling that tired in a long time. to top it off, I ate not-so-great (as in REALLY great 😉 ) foods that I’ve been pretty self controlled about avoiding the past few weeks to “cover” my emotions… and wow that was a bad idea. ever …
post-graduation plans
hello! it’s long past due for an update on life. the past few months have flown by in a way. after the summer, I spent my time adding up the credits I still needed to graduate, and planned out which electives and classes I wanted to take to finish one last semester. I also joined …
