Last week I wrote about trust, and how it is a good thing to trust God because God knows what He is doing.  But after I wrote it I started thinking, “Yeah, trust is great Kallie…but HOW? What does it look like to trust God? What does it even mean??” I don’t have the answer […]

I’m about halfway through my Master’s program.  Considering how quickly the first half flew by, I feel like I am going to be wearing that hideous graduation cap before I know it.  And that my friends, is terrifying. Most graduate programs seem to focus in on a career path, so that by the time you […]

I woke up the other morning to an email from my library. Overdue book.  Two weeks overdue. And even if you calculate out the fine, that’s really not that bad.  That should never be enough to push me over the edge, but it was the final pull at an already teetering jenga game.  I felt […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of waiting.  I, like so many I know, are in this strange transition period of life. This time we call…the twenties. Not all people in other age groups are free from seasons of waiting.  In fact, most of life may be a waiting period.  As Christians, we […]

I’m trying to learn how to garden.  And by that I mean keep a plant alive for more than a week.  So my mom bought me hanging pots for our porch, and I love them.  Every morning, I fill up my watering can and give them a good long pour of Rocky Mountain water (from […]

My technical job description right now is ‘nanny’.  Although more often I am referred to as babysitter, or sometimes on special days, “Kallie-Kallie-poo-poo”.  I spend a good amount of my time taking care of three active, energetic elementary school siblings.  (And when I say active, I mean hyper-active, and by energetic, I mean crazy.) They […]

Oh hey old friend, its been awhile. There are several reasons why I don’t blog as often as I would like to. One, I’m just lazy sometimes. Two, I feel like I should have some awe-inspiring insight to share with whoever is reading…or else its not worth it. Three, I think I have a lack […]

Proverbs 20:24 “A man’s steps are from the LORD; how then can man understand his way?” This verse is awesome.  So many of us – I know I do, at least – struggle with having control, especially over our future.  We get frustrated when things seem uncertain or our plans don’t come to fruition.  But […]

The word “bold” has been on my mind a lot lately.  I’ve been thinking about it because I am often considering what it looks like to live this life fully, to live a life that is what God intended for us.  And I think being bold is a huge part of that. You know when […]

At my church last Sunday, the sermon was about Caleb.  In the book of Exodus the story is told of how a group of men were sent into the land that God had promised the Israelites to see what the people, crops, land, etc., were like.  They went to judge the quality and see if […]
