I remember the first time I stepped foot inside of the little church. I was eleven, extremely shy, irritable, and angry with humanity. My family and I were moving from Springfield and we were checking out possible places to live. KC was one of them. Turns out that’s where we moved. Oasis church treated us … Continue reading My Oasis

Won’t Say Goodbye
Two years ago, my heart broke as I clutched the edge of my bed and silently begged God to wake me up from this nightmare. You had fled to the arms of your Savior. While I lay in darkness, shoulders shaking with silent sobs, you were beginning the first chapter of a life that you … Continue reading Won’t Say Goodbye
Random Life Update: August 2022
August was a pretty uninteresting month. LOL. It was a nice, relaxing, uneventful 31 days. *shrugs* Let me think... Work Work was good. Our newest client has very surface-level emotions that change at the drop of a hat, so I've been learning a lot about that. When to be compassionate and empathetic and when it … Continue reading Random Life Update: August 2022

Random Life Update: July 2022 {+Embarrasing Work Stories}

It was horribly awkward and Jehosheba and I left after about ten … Continue reading Random Life Update: July 2022 {+Embarrasing Work Stories}
Swimming In Red Salt: Beauty & Pain
We live close(ish) to the Great Salt Lake. So, of course, we decided that we needed the experience of swimming in it. One bright Saturday morning it was THE day. We woke up tragically late, ate breakfast with extreme slowness, pulled on our clothes with the speed of a snail and finally made it out … Continue reading Swimming In Red Salt: Beauty & Pain

Grey Hairs, Evil Vacuums, and Festivals: June 2022
I found my first grey hair this month. For real, one morning I was half-heartedly combing my hair and I saw one strand that was a different color than the others. That is to say, it lacked color. *shrieks* Let's just say that I should have taken it as a sign of a very stressful … Continue reading Grey Hairs, Evil Vacuums, and Festivals: June 2022

Why I No Longer Want To Be Normal
From the moment I was born, I was weird. I didn’t come to have that moment of revelation for many years. I thought every six year old was completely obsessed with chickens. I thought everyone wrote (and read!) books on them and spent every waking moment thinking about them and dreaming about a future in … Continue reading Why I No Longer Want To Be Normal
Top Three Favorite Crafts
Hey friends! When I was younger, I absolutely loved crafts. I spent so much time knitting, sewing and crocheting. I also enjoyed attempting to cross stitch and embroider. I loved to make dolls and stuffed animals and bags. They weren't professional or adultish, but I think I did a fairly good job for my age. … Continue reading Top Three Favorite Crafts
Random Life Update: April 2022
I can't believe that it is already MAY. Seriously, where is life going?! It is strange. It feels like it creeping by and flying by at the same time. April was a full month. There was a lot of celebrating, comfort zone stretching, and freezing cold days. We got SNOW. SNOW, you guys! And not … Continue reading Random Life Update: April 2022

Since the beginning of 2022, I’ve been plotting. *chuckles darkly* I’ve really wanted to get some real books (aka not digital ones) and spent much time narrowing down my very long list and then selecting several of the cheapest ones.

Random Life Update: March 2022
March was an interesting month. *shrugs* Not as bad as February, but it had elements that made it very hard to enjoy. One in particular. *looks towards my sugar glider cage* Back in December, I came up with a brilliant idea to challenge myself and do hard things. My plan was to do one hard … Continue reading Random Life Update: March 2022
Farewell, Sweet Creature
If you read my last post here, you know that my sugar glider Dreamer was very sick. She ended up having surgery to remove the poop stuck in her colon. She wasn’t expected to survive the surgery because she was so small and it was so invasive. When they took her in, I prayed that … Continue reading Farewell, Sweet Creature
Strength of Surrender
My sugar glider Dreamer is very sick and in the vet hospital. I don’t know exactly what caused her problems. I do know, however, that in this experience God is teaching me to trust him. To surrender to him. A few weeks ago Dreamer once again started struggling with constipation. I didn’t think much of … Continue reading Strength of Surrender
Random Life Update: February 2022
*crawls to the computer and begins to type while falling asleep* I can't remember much of what we did in February. This is where journals come in very helpful. It's amazing how quickly the human mind forgets the mundane, very boring days in between the ones filled with excitement or fear. The month started off … Continue reading Random Life Update: February 2022
You matter
There was a time when I wondered, " If I died today, would anyone care? Would anyone notice? Would anyone be sad?" You have or do probably wonder the same thing. It is so easy to forget the worth that we have and to focus only on our flaws and mistakes. We lose sight of … Continue reading You matter

Will You stay?
He catches my downcast gaze and whispers, “I promise you, I won’t leave you.” I look away and wrap my arms around my knees. “I don’t believe you.” “I love you!” He says passionately. “Isn’t that enough?” “You’ll leave me.” I fly from him, leaving him to wonder what goes on inside of my fickle … Continue reading Will You stay?

Lies of Personal Truth
Truth is whatever we want it to be. Your truth might be different than mine, but who cares? We’re both right and if you say otherwise, you are a judgmental idiot. Total truth does not exist. That’s what our society tells us. From movies to books to friends, we hear it played over and over … Continue reading Lies of Personal Truth

2021 recap: Begining of Fearslaying
I changed a lot in 2021. It was a good year. I was terrified that it would be a repeat of the past few years but God allowed it to be one of healing and life. Yes, there were hard parts. I watched friends suffer incredible pain and was helpless to do anything to change … Continue reading 2021 recap: Begining of Fearslaying
