It’s November and many of the people that I know have been doing “30 days of things they are thankful for” posts on Facebook. I’ve decided to put mine here on my blog with detailed explanations because that’s what a blog is for, right?
My Life
read more, write more
I am so blessed to be a member of the department at the university in which this man teaches. When he read this to us I remember thinking about how amazing it was and for days I kept thinking about it. So I looked it up on his blog and have now posted it here. […]
A Biblical challenge
For one of my courses this semester, my professor handed out a challenge of the Biblical sort. Read a book of Proverbs, Acts and one of the gospels that corresponds with the number date of the month. Read the Bible EVERYDAY and not just for a homework assignment, but to make it a daily habit. […]
The biggest part of me
Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it. Julia Child knew what she talking about when she said this. Having a passion for something changes the way you look at it, how you complete it and how you go about loving it. Because for me, I’m passionate about sports and about writing.I […]
What a month
This past month has been extremely interesting for me. So much has happened – some good, some not so good – and I can’t believe the place I find myself to start my senior year at Spring Arbor. A little over a month ago, my boyfriend of 2 and a half years and I broke […]

Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend
There is this saying that “Diamonds are a girls best friend.” Some girls would like diamond jewelry. It’s shiny and pretty and sparkles in the light. That’s not the kind of diamond I want. I want to spend my days on the baseball diamond. It may not be shiny, but occasionally it sparkles in the […]
Photographs
There’s this saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Almost nothing compares to having that winning moment immortalized to help us remember things forever. The winning touchdown, the first home-run, a baby’s smile, and your group of friends – through all the changes in life pictures are their to document them. I just […]
My Love of Sports
I love sports. And I’m a girl. That would make some people cringe. But growing up I found myself sitting in the bleachers at Tiger Stadium eating peanuts and keeping score. Then I started playing soccer and volleyball as well as being a competitive swimmer. I once tried softball (they called me Mega-Megan because I was […]
