The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in lovingkindness. Psalm 145:8 I really like the idea of patience. I am not really that good at it though, especially when it comes to getting something that I want. I find that patience can sometimes be hard to practice, and that it varies [...]
"Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sin" 1 Peter 4:48 Since the last time I wrote a blog I have been extremely busy. I honestly do not think I have ever been as busy in my life as I have been recently. I am so thankful that I [...]
This is the first recipe for Em in the Kitchen! It is the first full day of Kemp's stay at home order, which means I am going to be trapped for at least two weeks---but lets be honest, probably longer. I'm bored, you're bored, we are all looking for something to do, so I am [...]

"Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 5:1-2 Recently, I have been able to experience the joy of transitioning into adulthood! I am confused about why nobody told me that this is [...]
"So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while." 1 Peter 1:6 This past Tuesday was my mom's birthday. To help her celebrate, my grandma and uncle came into town. In the days before her birthday as my dad and I were beginning to [...]
