Yes, singleness is sweet. I said it, and I’m experiencing it. Honestly, I used to be so preoccupied with the desire for marriage—which is still beautiful—but by God’s grace, I’ve learned to be content in this precious season of being single, even as I look forward to the next. I started to view my singleContinue reading “The Sweetness of Singleness”

Visit Colleges for FREE: Fly-In Programs
Hello! If you want to visit colleges for free, you’re in the right place! 🙂 I did a couple fly-in programs in high school, and not enough people know about it, so I wanted to get the word out! 🤗 What are fly-in programs: Fly-in programs are 1-3 day events across the US where collegesContinue reading “Visit Colleges for FREE: Fly-In Programs”
For The First Year Finding Their Way
First, I want to say CONGRATULATIONS! You have made it through the first month or couple weeks of grad school and that is a huge accomplishment.

A Spiritual Sabbatical
In academia, professors often take sabbaticals for their research, but this year I’m taking a sabbatical for my soul. When God first started speaking to me about taking time off from my PhD, I didn’t believe it was Him.

Savoring Summer
How was your summer? This is the question I was asked the most during the first week of classes last year, and I could honestly reply that it was amazing. No, I didn’t do a special internship. No, I didn’t go anywhere fancy. Last summer I did “nothing” and that was exactly what I wantedContinue reading “Savoring Summer”
Cultivating Community with Your Cohort
Grad school cannot be completed alone. We all need community, and our immediate cohort (the people that we entered the program with) are an excellent source of community on this journey. While it is true that we can have community with people outside of our institution (I strongly encourage this and have benefited from it)Continue reading “Cultivating Community with Your Cohort”
My March Miracles
In March 2022, God performed two miracles in my life, and they occurred just three days apart. Both miracles had to do with my flights during my spring break trip to Washington D.C. and New Haven, CT. In both situations, it seemed impossible that I would make it, but not only did I make it,Continue reading “My March Miracles”

Going to Ghana with God
Early this January I went to Ghana, and I was nervous about going. But God reassured me that He was with me, and I am here to testify that He really was. It was a great trip and not only did I learn so much about Ghana, but I learned so much about God, andContinue reading “Going to Ghana with God”
