Are You Available to God?

One of my toxic traits is that I often overextend myself. Everything always just sounds so FUN! I have long been notorious for "stacking" events; i.e., a happy hour followed by a dinner followed by a birthday party, etc. The reality of living this way, however, became...

A Beautiful Innocence

A couple of weeks ago, two of my friends discovered that I had never read John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. To remedy that, one of them lent me her book and I dove in. I really enjoyed East of Eden and was excited for another journey through my beloved Northern...

On Friday night, after a DC Restaurant Week dinner, my friend and I passed a bar where a young father was standing outside, holding a brand new fresh little baby. My friend and I gasped at the cuteness and I said a quick little mental prayer: “Wow, Jesus, it would...

The Gift of New Beginnings

Last Friday, I had my first day at my new job – my first full-time, real job since heading off to business school in the fall of 2021. We spent the day learning how to turn on our computers, reset our phones, and find our benefits on the portal. It was slow and long...
