Questions for Reflection & Discernment and Processing 2025
Looking Toward 2026 Less is more. That’s the thing. That’s my main take-away from 2025. Every year, Emily P. Freeman (podcaster and author) puts out “10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment,” and I love to answer these questions each year as a reflection of my previous year and the beginning of a new year. What…

Rest
I didn’t mention this in a post, but a few weeks ago, I ended up in the ER due to having severe chest pain. They ran a ton of tests to see if it was a heart issue or a blood clot. Everything was perfect. A few days later, I followed up with my primary…

Meal Plan for 9/1-9/7
It has been a LONG TIME since I’ve shared our meal plans. Honestly, meal planning is a bit complicated now since I work in the kitchen. My schedule is kind of all over the place, and we eat some meals in the dining hall. I’m trying to eat much healthier now, so even when I…

Feeling More Grounded Than Ever Before
A lot has happened since my last post. It wasn’t even super long ago… Something very hard took place a little over a week ago, and I can’t really talk about it here. But it ended up growing one of my kids in a positive way, and growing our family as well. The more I…

My Dream Life
I’ve been writing on Substack, and I don’t think I like it. It feels much less like ME and less personal. I don’t know why it feels that way. Maybe because I’ve had this blog for a lot of years! But anyway. I think I’m going to write here again. I have a lot on…

More Processing Through Journaling
I’m going to attempt to process more about my food/weight/body image stuff. I’m STILL so torn about it and feel so back and forth. Where does the shame and fear lie? Is it in my body or in my desire to be more strict with things? Am I making something a moral issue that isn’t a…

Processing Through Journaling
I just thought I’d share my journal from today. It was a little scattered but also pretty helpful. I’m learning more and more about myself. I realized yesterday that I have been battling the weight/body image/nutrition/exercise battle for a long time, and I have never sought God’s wisdom on it. WHY am I so obsessed with…

Expectations and Peace
I have had a rough few days mentally and emotionally. I wrote this on Facebook yesterday: “I’ve been struggling again the last few days. Heavy depression. I had therapy and cried more than usual. I realized today that deep down I feel like I’m just a burden and not an asset to anyone. Like my…

Identity and Calling
As I sit here in my office, I can hear the beautiful sounds from nature-the frogs in the pond and the birds singing. I’m so grateful for this beautiful world that we live in, but not only that… living here at this camp… in Colorado. After months of suffering/struggle, I’m finally seeing the light, feeling less…

One Day at a Time
I feel like every time I write, big things have happened in between posts. My life is never boring; that’s for sure. I will say that the most recent things that have been going on have been really good. I’m feeling more and more peace each day. I have honestly been a bit disconnected from…
