Answering questions about life in post-grad
It’s officially July. I’ve been out of school for a while now, but I am no closer to figuring out what’s next for me. It’s been weeks since I visited Virginia, but two nights ago, I had a dream of a dear friend and I at our favorite place, and I miss it. This post … Continue reading summer thoughts on my mind
I honestly don’t know how to write this post. It’s one I’ve been wanting to write for a few weeks but things got in the way and I don’t think I have words for it. It was definitely a gift from the Lord, and that’s something I’m quite sure of. Lately, I have a thing … Continue reading Home sweet Home: Charlottesville, VA
March 2024 was a huge month for me. And it revealed a little bit of a pattern to me. I guess God likes to use the month of March to shake up my life a bit. Last March, I was accepted to grad school and rejected from a job I was so confident I’d get. … Continue reading March 2024 in review
We’re back to the fresh start feeling at the New Year. I recapped 2023 in last week’s post. I’m honestly more excited about the second part of 2024 than the first part (I’m dreading needing to finish my Master’s project.) While I have a few resolutions and intentions, this post is more about ins and … Continue reading 2024: In and out
It’s that time of the year, a time to assess the year that has gone by. The lessons we learned, the trips we went on, the moments we enjoyed (or didn’t). 2023 was a strange year for me. I started off the year still job hunting, but my heart wasn’t in it anymore, and now … Continue reading what i’ve learned in 2023 + 2023 Highlights
There’s a delicious shiver of anticipation when you’re going on vacation. You feel it as you pack, eager to land in a new space and just breathe. You notice it when you’re scrolling, looking for activities or restaurants that you now know you have the potential to stumble upon. It’s there as you begin your … Continue reading vacation in the poconos
This past weekend my parents and I took a lovely trip to a place I had always passed but never stopped to explore: Culpeper, Virginia. Our little weekend was Friday to Sunday for a wedding of a dear friend of mine, Chloe (who I most certainly have on the blog somewhere!) Friday March 17, 2023 … Continue reading countryside wedding in culpeper, va
I haven’t felt excitement like that thrumming through me since Israel. Post-grad is weird like that. If you’re lucky, you live in the same city as your friends, but if you’re not, you see your friends as trains passing you by, stopping briefly for a moment to catch your breath. Not being the lucky sort, … Continue reading a story on friendship: a trip to New Haven
Hey friends, sorry for being MIA last week. I’ve been traveling and hosting people at home, so things were a bit busy. Things have now died down, and here I am back with my thoughts. I figured I’d ramble today because I was unsure whether or not I should tell you about my travels or … Continue reading this winter & the languishing
Israel with its sun beaming down hotter than I’ve ever felt before. Graduation where President Ryan talked about leaving a light for when we’d return home. Dozens of rejections lining my inbox. The rejection I kind of blacked out during right outside a coffee shop. Singing worship songs at 2am because none of us wanted … Continue reading What I’ve Learned in 2022 + 2022 Highlights
I’ve always been drawn to the idea of staying rooted. I only started to notice this idea last September, when I got away for 24 hours (you can read about that lovely trip here) and I started praying to be deeply rooted in Christ. Two weeks ago, I was walking around downtown Montreal and saw … Continue reading The Pull of Staying Rooted
From May 24-June 1st, I was in Israel and it was wild (and real!). I wasn’t sure what to expect. We didn’t have an itinerary until we landed in Tel Aviv and honestly, while I was hopeful for a big spiritual experience, I was also aware that this could be just another trip. It was … Continue reading Israel, yes ’twas rael
