What is one supposed to do when you're sitting across from your therapist and you hear the words, "I think it's time to slow down with the self-discovery." I mean, there was no flicker of doubt that she was right - my head felt heavy with trying to figure out why I do what I… Continue reading When Self-Discovery Needs a Breather →

The Saturday in between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday can sometimes feel like a gray area; the, "Now what?" after some life-changing event. I can only imagine the confusion on this day that sat in the hearts of Jesus' faithful followers, even someone like Peter who was probably thinking about how Jesus was right in… Continue reading His Blood →

I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.  For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew… Continue reading His Death →

I spent the weekend in the quiet wilderness that is Waupaca, Wisconsin. I awoke Sunday morning with an awareness that it was Palm Sunday. With the Lenten season entering into its last days, I wrapped myself in a blanket, sat in a rocking chair on the porch and opened my Bible to John 12. I… Continue reading His Journey →

I was recently given the opportunity to shoot the Bergstresser family again. I took Mia's 3-month-old photos, so it was exciting to see her again 6 months later to capture her grow spurt. We started out at their home and then made our way to the chilly edges of Lake Michigan. I think we lasted… Continue reading Miss Mia at 9 Months →

This past weekend was exactly what I needed. I spent Friday night lighting the floor of Kingston Mines aflame with too many two-steps, hops, and skips. Proof of this followed in the morning with a sassy photo of yours truly. Saturday was a too-perfect brunch, a quiet bookstore mosey, and a coffee shop sitting with… Continue reading Finally, a restful weekend →

I think there is something very real about claiming anything over your life. So, when I came to the conclusion that I am a One on the Enneagram and that I am a co-dependent adult, I had my hesitations with internal confirmation. But what I've come to figure out, is that there is a certain… Continue reading Lenten Revelations →

I woke up to what was supposed to be Spring Equinox (or just Spring for those who don't necessarily abide by astronomy terms). What my eyes met at the window wasn't sunshine and newly bloomed flowers, but snow. Another snowfall. It can be easy to shake my fist at such a sight - which I… Continue reading Expectant →

Since being off of social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) for this Lenten season, I honestly still have not seen some significant internal change. I still have urges to scroll through photos or read updates or post meaningless statuses. I assume it is a bit of accomplishment to reach two weeks without folding and giving up.… Continue reading So far →

This past week has been heartbreaking. A co-worker's wife lost the battle to cancer, while another co-worker was being diagnosed with cancer. Yesterday, very similar stories were discovered in the lives of others. This is the only way for me to comprehend what it means to walk around in a broken world with broken bodies.Here… Continue reading Whole →
