Dear Camp, Wow, where to begin…the impact that you have had on me over the past years cannot be summarized with mere words or in a simple blog post. How does one say good-bye to something that has shaped and changed who they are so deeply? You have been one of the most constant things…

Hello! I spend my days out in the forest on the back of a horse and my nights are spent with a book or binge-watching crime dramas. I hope to shed light and share my own personal experiences as I fearlessly pursue a joyful life in the Lord.
I’m Not Happy…
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had many people say a very similar sentence to me when we end up talking about all of the changes and events that have been happening in my life: “Wow, I’m so inspired by how positive you are in all of this” Or some sort of variation of…
Caution! Detour Ahead
To say that this week didn’t exactly go as planned would be an understatement. While there were multiple unfortunate circumstances that arose, one of the ones that affected me the most was finding out that I can no longer leave for Germany when I had planned. Let me explain… Back at the end of June…
Identity Crisis
Identity can be a funny thing. It changes so quickly and is dependent on so many factors, the biggest of which is people. We base our identity, who we see ourselves as, on how other people perceive us. All too often though the way that other people see us shifts depending on who they are…
A Letter From Where I’m Headed
Dear Katherina, This is a hard time for you right now, I can see that. You’re in a situation that you never saw coming. One that you had seen happen to many other people but you never thought could happen to you. And that’s a hard place to be in, but there’s something that you…
Changing Lenses
“How have you been thinking today?” Have you ever really taken stock of how you think throughout the day? Is it positive, or does it slide towards the glass half empty side? Mind set is a really funny thing. It can completely change the way that you see and feel about something. In the wrong…
From Friends to Family
I don’t believe that we're supposed to go through this life alone. We are given family and friends to come along side us and do life with us. They're there for you during every season of your life, and are some of the greatest blessings that we can receive. Now family is great, they’re with…

To gain clarity or perspective, to challenge themselves, to see the natural beauty of the world around them, or to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Some people climb actual mountains, and some people climb really big hills that just feel like mountains.…
Thank You Mr. Postman
The Postman brings many things to our doors. From store flyers to letters from friends to bills that we'd rather have been lost to packages we forgot we ordered. For me a couple of days ago the Postman made my day. As many of you know, I sent away my visa application a few weeks…
Carrying My Own Weight
"I owe my body an apology. Technically, I owe my body thousands of apologies, for the thousands of times I've accused it, pushed it, starved it, made fun of it, lied about it, hid it, hated it. But now I owe it another on, and I also owe it my gratitude, long overdue, and for…
