At the end of 2017 I was asked to choose a word for myself for 2018. The word I chose was Flourish! At that time in my life I felt that I was at a standstill and wanted nothing more than to just grow. It was also the year of my 27th birthday, also known …

Growing Up Christian
I’m gonna step away from my normal postings for one post to talk about what has been on my heart lately. As I am now a dedicated Christian, I wasn’t always. I feel it’s important as a believer to talk about your experiences and share the good and the bad. I grew up as a …
