Job 5:9
“He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.” We often think of miracles as God performs them in the Bible, curing someone of disease instantly or raising someone from the dead. But what about the miracles that happen slowly overtime? We often don’t credit those as miracles but instead hard work,…
Anxiety in the Unpredictable
I didn’t realize how much of a scheduler I was until I had a nightmare when my schedule changed slightly. I’ve always seen myself as this go-with-the-flow, “I don’t care” kind of person until I realized I’m really not. I like structure and organization and plans and apparently I don’t do as well as I…
Chronic Illness in Your 20’s
When I was 18 months old, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis. This is a chronic illness that causes pain and inflammation of the joints.

5 Things No One Tells You About College
If anyone has learned the do’s and don’ts of going to college, I think it’s fair to say that a twice flunked out, once dropped out, student would know a few things. That student was me. Since then I have successfully received and maintained a 3.7 GPA and am studying to be accepted into Nursing…
