My Trip to Boston

Well, this is a little overdue (ok, a lot. Several months XD), but better late than never, right? 😉 At the beginning of November, my dad had a work thing-a-ma-bob in Boston, and so my mom, brother, and I decided to tag along! When we first got there, my mom, brother, and I headed to…… Continue reading My Trip to Boston

Journal Entry ~ Weddings

Being a romantic, I love weddings. The atmosphere, the occasion – everything about it is wonderful. When I was little, I was able to participate in my aunt’s wedding – as the flower girl! I was so excited. And a few years ago, I attended a mentor and friend’s wedding. Even though it was simple…… Continue reading Journal Entry ~ Weddings

Meet Eleanor

Y’all can keep a secret right? XD I HAD to add that meme – Once Upon A Time and Princess Bride, best of both worlds. Anyway. This past December, my parents gave me a car (#bestparentsever). And like any over-excited teen, I had to post it on social media – so I did. But, she…… Continue reading Meet Eleanor

Rest

Y’all probably know by now that I’m a perfectionist XD And despite my efforts, I still struggle with wanting to do everything right, everything correct, everything perfect. Logically, I know that is not possible. But for some reason, I can’t quite seem to let my perfectionistic nature go. Often, this manifests itself around anything having…… Continue reading Rest

Christmas

As Christmas ends in all of its bright lights, Santa 🎅🏻 wrapped gifts 🎁, and loudly playing carols 🎼, let us not forget the true joy behind this holiday: Jesus. Jesus who left the golden glories of perfect heaven to come down where imperfection is sowed deeply. Jesus who traded comfort and ease for a…… Continue reading Christmas

Journal Entry

Because I am an introvert, socializing is not exactly my strong point. I prefer more intimate settings with deeper conversations; I do not really do well with “small talk.” I would much rather a few close friends, over having several friends that are a more shallow friendship. With that said, I am not gifted with…… Continue reading Journal Entry

Compassion and Grace ~ A Journal Entry

Recently, I found a passage in the Bible that really touched me. The whole chapter is Isaiah 54. As someone who struggles with perfectionism, I often times tend to see God almost as a dictator. I find myself often thinking, oh no, I just thought that. And that thought usually ends up going in the…… Continue reading Compassion and Grace ~ A Journal Entry

The Bird of Hope ~ A Journal Entry

I’ve always loved to write. Even from a young age, I would staple and tape my own paper books together. Besides story-telling though, I also enjoy writing poetry. Songs, I believe, are a form of poetry. They are poetry with music. The hymn ‘Amazing Grace,’ after all, did not always have music accompanying it. I…… Continue reading The Bird of Hope ~ A Journal Entry

Journal Entry 5

Many years ago, my family and I went to the Red Wood Forest in San Francisco, California. It was beautiful. The trees were massive – reaching as far up into the sky as they possibly could in all of their natural finery. Despite the cold temperature (who knew it could be cold in the summer?),…… Continue reading Journal Entry 5
