I met my fiance through online dating, which some people may call cringy but I like to think of it as a modern take on the Victorian era. You get set up by a mutual friend or a relative (or the dating website), send letters (or texts) back and forth before you meet in person,…

Heart Adjustments
Earlier this week, I went to the chiropractor for the very first time. After years of falling off horses and walking like an old lady, I decided it was finally time to do something about my very grumpy back. I had put off going because I knew that my back was really messed up, and…
Let’s Feast
At the start of every new year, we are flooded with social media posts about the best goals and resolutions to set, and how we can maintain them once the first ten days are over. I, for one, have never been a fan of new year’s resolutions because they always seem to be centred around…
Embrace the Firecrackers
One phrase that I have heard consistently throughout my life is, “Wow, you’re so mature for your age.” Now at twenty-five years old, that doesn’t strike me as odd in any way, but when I was a teenager, it made me feel like I wasn’t able to act my age. I felt like I had…
Letters to the Past
Dear Younger Me, I wish that you could see where we are now; you’d be so excited. It’s been a journey full of ups and downs but believe me when I say that we’ve learned to love both the mountain tops and the valleys. There are so many amazing, beautiful, heart-breaking things for you to…
25 Lessons

I’m so thankful for everything that I’ve learned and experienced in these past years; I know that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without everything that happened in them. Here’s to…
Time to Redefine
I have loved horses for as long as I can remember. My first word was probably "horse." I had horse shirts, movies, books, and a room that was saturated with every possible horse knick-knack. My friends in school called me "Horse Katie." If there was an option to choose topics for school projects, I wanted…
Treasured Truth
When I was little, my dad helped my brother and I memorize Psalm 23. I remember piling onto my parent’s bed in the evening so that we could sit and work through the verses one at a time. I couldn’t tell you why my dad chose that particular Psalm, but I can tell you that…
When Our Plans Don’t Prosper
Do you ever feel like you're wandering through a forest without a compass? There's a new path everywhere you turn, but you have no idea which one to take or how to get back home. The enormity of the forest swallowing you whole until you feel utterly lost and alone. That's what I feel like…
Moments Matter
Last night I was awakened by the most incredible lightning storm scoring through the night sky. I stood in front of my window, staring into the darkness entirely in awe of the light show the Lord was putting on. I am no more in awe of the Lord than when I see His power displayed…
