About this Blog

I oftentimes find myself feeling as if I am drowning in a sea of brokenness. Financial strains, familial tensions, and the like, oftentimes distract me from who I am in Christ, and furthermore, what I am called to do as His servant. Scripture repeatedly teaches that a part of my calling is to offer up my body as a living sacrifice, and this includes giving thanks for the blessings in my life to the loving God who bestows them. My life needs to be one of joy, one that actively pursues beauty and appreciates all things, even those that are commonly overlooked.
With this blog, I hope to take myself and anyone who reads it on a journey in which each and every day I find something to do, or see, or make that is beautiful and can be deeply appreciated. Then, I will give the beauty I find as an offering of praise and thanks to the Lord by writing about it here on this blog. Check back each day for a new post! I hope that what you read here will inspire you to appreciate life more and actively pursue the beauty that surrounds you, even in the midst of brokenness.

Gamble-ing

Today was such a good day! There were many things to be thankful for. That's what I love about this blog...as a writer, I am always thinking of stories to document, which necessitates that I live in a posture of gratitude!

Anywho, today I saw my wonderful friend and Sister-in-Christ, Christie Gamble. This lady is beautiful, supportive, wise, caring, and brilliant. We talked for hours over coffee this morning at Panera, and it was so refreshing to my soul.

Christie has been one of my closest friends since our freshman year of college at Biola. She even got me interested in Torrey{because, for some reason, watching a friend stress out about reading a million books and writing long papers was enticing lol}, which turned out to be one of the biggest blessings in my life.

Please, join me on a quick trip down memory lane:

Senior Year! Isn't she lovely??
Lord, thank you for Christie Gamble. Thank you for her kindness, conscientiousness, wisdom, grace, dedication, and humility. But, for right now, I thank You for simply putting her in my life. :)
