Welcome back to the blog and the last post finishing my recap of Nashville and the Delight Leaders Regional Retreat! To recap arriving in Nashville, being on Broadway, and the first day exploring and going to the retreat, start with this post. I've been sharing my takeaways from the retreat and what God spoke to me along the way, which I[...]
We're almost to the end of my first Vegas recap series! Don't worry, I'm taking a long break before I get into the next recap, even though that will be equally exciting and unique. These posts take FOREVER to write, and I'm sure they take forever to read, too, so thank you so much for your interest—any bit that you've followed along me[...]
Something special that's been a constant for me since middle school is time spent with my family at hockey games in Wells Fargo Arena, watching the Iowa Wild and other AHL teams play. I've written about them several times on my blog, like here or here and even here, and I've yet to fulfill my goal of going to an NHL game, but I've alread[...]
I’ve noticed another trend, looking back on the various goals I’ve set for myself over the years. I’ve always been one to have big aspirations, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but I’ve also noticed how year after year, some of the things keep getting listed over and over as my goals. Maybe you can relate? It’s certainly n[...]
2019 was a pivotal year for me. I think it was one of my better ones, not that it was always easy, of course, but I thank God for providing me with so much this year. His blessings come in all sorts of ways and are not always in the likeliest of places or where you’d expect to see His work. I’m actually really excited to recap this ye[...]
I wanted to take the time to write a “lighter” post because I think Iowa is maybe in the clear for lighter days? I pray so, anyways. I’m a summer girl and live for the warmer weather. I can’t stand being cold. And so far I think we’ve been transitioning decently, at least compared to other years! How are all of you doing? As alw[...]
Oh my gosh you guys I am so sorry it’s been over a month since I’ve posted….. I’m not on another hiatus, at least certainly not by choice, but I’ve been more busy than I ever have been between balancing the workload of school this year and then taking driver’s ed, too. Thankfully that is about over—I just pray to God I pass[...]
One of the fun things about the end of the year is looking back. Reviewing the goals. The dreams. The fun moments. The painful moments. Using those as guidance as you head into the new year. And dreaming new dreams and setting new goals. It's not exactly the new year yet, but I'm impatient and would really like to review my yearly goals.[...]
We just got back from our week long family vacation in Ontario, Canada! It was a blast and totally exceeded my expectations! I was going to make this one big post about our entire trip, but after seeing that I took 73 pictures the day before our trip when we went up to the Cities and the day we spent all day in the car, I realized th[...]
