change
1. to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone

in this season, i am ready for change. i want to walk in a deeper level of faith and i want to fully trust God with the dreams that are in my heart. i have been so comfortable with my job, as mundane and lacking in passion as it may be, it has been a comfort. honestly, even to the point that if i heard Him say "Go!", i might hesitate or fear stepping out.

but i want to go. i want to see the world through His eyes. i want to dream massive dreams that, without Him, would be impossible to reach.

my sister sarah is one of the most amazing people i know...

she is a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, and a faithful friend. she's only fifteen months older, but in a lot of ways i've always looked up to her.

she's the middle child, in between my brother and myself. growing up, my mom was a single mom and sarah started going to church with her so she wouldn't have to go by herself.

God captured sarah's heart and i know so many lives have been changed through His love in her...

i know my life has changed...

i love you S!

new music.

to me, there is nothing like an open road and a great soundtrack to go along for the journey.

i get so excited when i discover a new artist for the first time. i usually end up playing them over and over...and over again, until i stumble upon someone new or until i re-discover music i already have.

so, i thought it would be exciting to post about a different artist each week. maybe even introduce you, in whatever corner of the world you are in, to someone you might never have heard before!

to get this started, a great artist who is on my current playlist, who i was actually first introduced to by my sister, is the "indie folk-rock band" HEM

their tunes are peaceful and full of soul! Check 'em out!

I absolutely love Spring! It has to be my favorite season. To me, everything is beautiful this time of year. Whether rain or shine, and I love it when the trees are full again.

Hosea 6:3
"Let's do our best to know the LORD. His coming is as certain as the morning sun; he will refresh us like rain renewing the earth in the springtime."
