Weekly Update #12
Hey Hey friends!!! Long time no chat!!! Life is crazy and oh so good. I have seen God's hand so much in my life the past few weeks and I have seen Him mold me and humble me. I have such a long ways to go but it is so sweet to see all He has in store for me. One of the things I have been learning is about complaining. I have zero reason to complain about anything. God has provided more than enough for me and I am so grateful for each and every gift. I'm learning (key word learning) …

For The Kingdom
Hair scarf // Top // Lippie // Earrings Everywhere I've been going recently God has been teaching me something... just like He typically does. Now He's teaching me how it's not about me. Maybe it's because I'm in this season of engagement and wedding planning when most things revolve around my future marriage and I. It's the topic of discussion amongst most of my conversations, the bride is in charge of everything, and everyone just seems to be turning to me... …

Bold Moves.
My senior year of high school I felt the Lord's call on my heart to go on a mission trip with my church to Uganda, Africa. Senior year spring break I went and boy did it change my life. I fell so in love with the country and the people, I feel like my heart grew so much. I loved every second of the trip. I've always wanted to go back it just honestly never worked out bc #college and internships, etc. Then about a month ago at [FUSE], the student ministry I serve with, Stacey Tar…

Homegirl, you're not worth it.
Homegirl, you're not worth it. I feel like that's what we keep telling ourselves bc we keep settling for way less than we deserve. Why though? Why are we settling for relationships with people we have never actually met? Why are we creating these fake relationships that only exist in our heads? Why do we allow that boy to only snapchat us? It's absolutely heartbreaking to see people in these "relationships" and them think that it is okay. It's not okay. You're wo…

Faith Over Fear
Hello palz. Hope you're all having a fab Thursday!!! I typically like to post what God is teaching me in different areas of my life from time to time. I do this to share and help others who could be dealing with similar situations and I also do it because it's fun for me to look back on and see all He has done. The past few months, I have been in this state of fear. Fear had been controlling my life. It was giving me anxiety and seemed to be the only thing I thought about. For…

Word of the Year
So at the beginning of 2018 I feel like everyone had a word of they year. I had never heard of it before and honestly thought it was kinda weird. But ever since the start of 2018 one word keeps coming up. In every sermon, every small group, literally everything. SILENCE. I mentioned in an earlier post how my small group was reading Present Over Perfect. You should read it. But basically I've realized that I am so so so busy all the time that I'm never actually silent. I'm never a…

Proof #5
Well it's been a while since I did my last post in my Proof series. You can see the previous posts here , here and here. A little back info... Proof is a series where I like to talk about people in my life that show proof of His love in my life. This one is a big one. One that has impacted me more than I know. The most influential person in my life, my biggest cheerleader, my best friend, my shoulder to cry on, my personal chef, my voice of reason, the most optimistic person I know.... m…

Rest.
Rest. A word I don't really take into consideration. If you're anything like me, life is go go go. I don't stop. I'm a perfectionist and I feel like I can't say no to any good opportunity. So I overwork myself, don't sleep, don't eat properly and am always exhausted. It's no ones fault but my own. I take on more than I can handle and I know that. (going to start reading the best yes soon lol) Last semester was specifically tough on me. I would leave my apartment …

What a Dream
Since graduation is right around the corner for me, I have been thinking about what I want my life to look like for the rest of my life. It's funny how much my goals and dreams have changed in such a short time. If you would have asked me in high school what I thought my life would look like right now I would say "I'll be engaged by 22, married by 23, kids by 24; living in my hometown the rest of my life." That situation is the farthest thing from my current reality. …

Tea with E: You deserve better
Okay. This post is finna get real. I've felt God for a while telling me to do this, but I've been fighting it honestly bc it's so personal and I don't want to step on people's toes. But I'm going to. oops, srynotsry. We're going to call this little series "Tea with E" where I talk about real issues that we all deal with (if there are any topics you want to see, hmu). ... Ok, so honestly I'm tired of people in my life, including myself, settling. …

Denim Skirts + unshakeable JOY
Okay. These are probably some of my fav blog pictures ever. There's just something that vacationing at the beach does. You feel rejuvenated, catch up on some much needed sleep and just get to actually relax for a few days. + That is exactly what I did a few weeks back on my family vacation. I just rly love the beach. It makes me happy. With these pictures + outfit being some of my favs, I found it only fitting to share it with a update on what God has been doing in me lately…

SOOO are you engaged?
Well, we're at that point in life where everyone asks what our plans are. Plans after graduation. (um well ya see) Where do I want to work? (who wants to give me a job?) Where do I want to live? (under a roof) Am I engaged? (LOL) Am I getting engaged? (strong no) Do I have a bf? (negative) What do I want to do after graduation? (wonderful question) Honestly, I have zero plans. The next year is a complete mystery to me. Do I have hopes and dreams for the next year? absolutely but I don't…

Why community? + Proof #2 & #3
Community: a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. (according to google) Community is SO important. It's been such a defining factor in my life. I honestly don't know where I would be and who I would be if I did not have incredible mentors constantly pouring into me throughout the years. I am so grateful for every youth pastor, small group leader, coach, teacher and more that have invested their time into me. (THANK YOU!!) …
