Why am I Doing What I’m Doing? July 15, 2016. At the beginning of the summer, I had a reflection do on Henri Nouwen’s book. In the Name of Jesus. In preparation for my summer internship (stop reading this and go buy that book right now! A couple sentences into my reflection paper I stopped my typing short. I was overcome. It was bigger than conviction – this was a holy, terrifying fear. What was I doing? And did I realize how dangerous this was, not for my grade or even my integrity, but for my soul?

July 27, 2013. As much as I love open fields and country nights, I have a special place in my heart for cities. And when people told me that Chicago is incredible and beautiful, they weren’t just being sympathetic to the fact that I had already decided to move there without visiting. The lights, the buildings, the noises, the movement. The multitudes of people, each with their own story. Pre-recorded Blogging for Asia. April 13, 2013.

Category Archives: Things I’m Learning. The Sinlessness of Jesus = Grace. August 24, 2016. The other night, my She Reads Truth Bible reading plan had me in Hebrews, specifically the following verses from chapter 4:. Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Theref...

Photo Journaling Urban Passage. September 5, 2013. I’m running out the door to Spanish class, but in the meantime, here are some photos (thanks to Anna and Elaine! It was an incredibly challenging, hard, grateful, and fun time with a group of 43 strangers, serving in Chicago and later traveling to the north woods of Wisconsin. More on that later. Enjoy the photos! The whole Urban Passage team. Getting ready to leave for Chicago (in the lounge of the Smith/Traber dorms). Our almost winning sandcastle.

Tag Archives: Good Friday. April 19, 2014. During an impromptu break from homework, I decided to research the meaning of my name. Which, of course, got me thinking about Mary Magedelene. But what is so amazing about the love of Christ is that despite the fact Peter let his eyes look elsewhere, there was still room for him at the feet of Jesus. There is always room for those who want to repent and worship a risen Christ. Jesus never stops asking, “do you love me? Let us not forget that Christ died while w...

Category Archives: Photo journaling. Baptism in Black and White. April 4, 2013. I’ve taken pictures during baptisms at our church several times now. They are always incredibly powerful, including loving prayers of family and friends, heartfelt acceptance of the creed, unashamed proclamation of the Lord’s sovereignty, and visible display of entering into new life with Christ.

So It Begins Again. September 8, 2015. It’s so good to see people in the dining hall. To bump into people between classes. To have familiar voices filling our apartment stairwell. To listen to my friend’s stories. To give big, lingering hugs to people I’ve come to know as family. At the start of my freshman year I wrote about the top ten lessons. About how to see people like He does. I wrote about how I was doing. Where words like overwhelmed, distracted, and grateful came to mind. Remember the line ...

The Gift of Hope. October 4, 2014. I’ve written here about hope. 8220; I’m sick of Dad’s job. I’m sick of Dad’s complaints about it. I am sick of Dad’s workload.

David Lesley’s Banner of Love. March 31, 2013. In a world of Pintrest weddings, everything is over-the-top and ultra-cute. But David and Lesley committed to a simple ceremony. They wanted it centered on Jesus and family oriented. They stood under a homemade. A symbol that God’s banner over us is love. The receiving line at Starbucks was a nice touch (they even met a sherif there who gave Lesley her deputy badge! I know Lesley. She’s a courtship advocate and a. Enter your email address:.

When I Trust from the Stroller. September 14, 2015. It was the appropriately coined “solo day” on Wheaton Passage, the transition retreat for incoming Wheaton freshmen. This was our final stop after a day of fasting, prayer, and silence. Another park, this one a little less beautiful than the one before. And as I reflected on this reality, I began to write. . . 8220;Is that really how it is, God? Friday, August 16, 2013. A Prayer Journal Entry. July 15, 2015. Where’s my first love, Lord?
