Disclaimer: Personal blog post ahead. Confession: Sometimes I question Jesus; I question my faith and I question the reason behind it all. I am glad, though, that Jesus can handle ALL.OF.IT!!! (I had to use multiple exclamation marks there so you know it’s an exclamation statement - I don’t even know if that makes sense. … Continue reading That one Time I wrote Jesus a Letter – Excerpts from my journal
Y’all!!! Sometimes pressure comes from the most random places - or maybe not THAT random because you see it coming - but still... Ok, Ok. Let me not get carried away. So I’ve been listening to “Pressure” by Jonathan McReynolds a lot. When I say a lot, I mean A LOT (Thank you, Thandwa, for … Continue reading Pressure… Thanks Jonathan McReynolds
(But why does it seem like I am always making confessions. Oh, well *insert shrugging woman emoji here*) Is struggler even a word though? Auto correct didn’t try to fix that so I guess it is. I got excited for a second thinking maybe I just created a new word for the “Nosi dictionary”. For … Continue reading Truth be told – Confessions of a struggler
So I went out with some friends a couple of weeks ago… We dressed up, tried to look nice (flips hair), the whole nine yards!! Now, I’ll put it out there that the dressing up part was NOT my idea but you know how peer pressure works. So we are looking good, right? Right… And … Continue reading Oh, snap!! There they go!!!
So I was cleaning up the other day – Aaaaand, by the other day I mean a few hours ago because #Saturday. I’ve been told that’s how “adulting” works.

I giggled as someone said, “Everything about 2016 screamed leap year” and gave that subtle … Continue reading Tell 2016 boy bye!!! I ain’t sorry
“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place” So I came across this quote during one of my Pinterest adventures… (Ummm, yes!!! I Pinterest…. LIKE A BOSS!!!)… It stopped me in … Continue reading BECOMING
I went camping a week ago! Yep, I like camping. There is a lot to be said about being one with nature, even if it is just for a few hours, and getting to press that refresh button. I needed that! I was emotionally frustrated, physically and mentally exhausted and really just in need of … Continue reading Digging through the Mountains
I hate finals!!! Ok, maybe hate is a VERY strong word so scratch that. I don’t appreciate finals week very much. In fact, like many people, I just legit do not appreciate the act of testing for anything really. I am not competitive, I think competition results in conflict – ain’t nobody got time for … Continue reading Ode to finals week – productive procrastination (aka P^2)
So I was up here like, how do you even title a blog post about failing. I mean, come on now, who in the world would want to enhance their failure…ummmm, nobody that’s who. Unless, of course you are that random dead person who is given this option: to die or to FAIL to die!!! … Continue reading FailureSHIP 101 – The art of failing well (or not failing at all)
