Consider this blog Part 2 of "The Secret of Being Confident." It's been awhile since I've written that blog, but Pirates of the Caribbean 4 came out four whole years after Pirates 3, so I think it's still okay. Let's talk a little bit about what discontentment feels like. Most people identify discontentment as unhappiness…
Many of us do not love ourselves. Why not? For me I had this voice in my head saying I wasn’t good enough. I’ve found it’s so easy when admiring others to get in the thought pattern of, “man, I could never be as pretty as *blank*” or “I just can’t sing as well as…
Do you ever just feel like you’ve done all you can? You’ve prayed to God, you’ve sought after Him, you’ve believed and not doubted and yet the answer doesn’t come. You get to this point in life when you know God cares, you know He sees you but you’ve come to the conclusion that He’s…
I recently got back from the trip of a lifetime to Germany and London! Packing for it was hard because while there we would be doing a bunch of random and different activities ranging from business meetings to hiking. Let me start out by saying packing is not my strong point. I pretty much go…
I recently read the book The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson. In it there was a great story about a lady who worked for the Dream Center in Birmingham, AL. She said that one day, after praying, she felt the Lord impress on her to take a pair of wooly socks with her to work. …
Tomorrow is the first day of my last semester of undergrad. I was thinking today about how many things in my life have changed since I was a freshman. Change is guaranteed in life, so I’ve learned time and time again (the hard way) it’s better to embrace change and come out ahead than resist…

Honestly, I love social media. You can be anything you want on social media: some people are funny, some are inspirational, some are...not funny…. I love sharing tweets and seeing people’s reactions. I love laughing at friends I follow that are funny, I feel like I stay in touch with people I haven’t talked to…

"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders." When I first heard the song Oceans by Hillsong United I thought it was beautiful, repetitive enough to get in your head, and passionate. It is everything a song should be. Then it came time to sing it at church. I’ll never forget the first time…
When I think about God's love for us it's a bit hard to understand. Having never had children of my own, I believe in God's love for us but I can't even begin to grasp it. I was reminded of the stomach-churning shooting in Aurora, Colorado at the theater over a year ago. There was…
