Mary Let Me Hold Her Baby

The holidays can be hard for many reasons. For me, it sometimes is a reminder that I don't have any little ones and am unable to have children.

I mean, I never realized the whole holiday revolves around a miraculous conception and birth... something I hope and pray for. As I was pondering these emotions and trying to find peace this Christmas season, a song from years ago came to my mind. It is from Michael MicLean's beloved Christmas play, "Forgotten Carols."

The song was a gentle, yet powerful reminder that regardless of my inability to have biological children, I can still do good and make a difference in the lives around me.

It was also a testimony that Christ is the catalyst. He is the force, being, and person that causes a change in my life. He reminds me to have hope when I don't want to. He inspires me to believe in Him and His love. He changes my heart. He is my source of redemption. He is my Savior.

Whatever emotions you are feeling this season, I hope this song reminds you of Christ's ability to change us into people who can truly do good and serve those around us.

The World of Infertility

The World of Infertility Hey there. This is something that has been on my mind for what feels like a very. long. time. Infertility, loss, pregnancy, miscarriage, etc. I want this post to be helpful for anyone who might read it. Someone who is also struggling to get pregnant. Someone who has never experienced infertility. And someone who knows someone who is struggling with this issue. As always, this is just my opinion and my thoughts- take as you will! The Story Infertility looks sooo different for everyone. For some, it is the inability to get pregnant. For others, it is a miscarriage, for everyone, it is the inability to have children when you want to. When we first started the journey of trying to get pregnant, it was exciting! I had a hormonal IUD that I got removed two months before we started really trying. Each month I wasn't sure what to expect and I googled symptoms and signs like none other. As the months continued to drag on, I stopp...

I Am Never Getting Married

Hi there. One, two, three, four. Yup. Straight up four posts in a row on Instagram of people announcing they are engaged, married or having a child. Cool. Hands go up around the room to answer the professor's question. One, two, three, four. Yup. Literally, every single girl in this room is married beside me. The sparkle-less finger on my hand seems to stick out like a sore thumb. I have definitely felt the sting of being single many times in my life, as I'm sure most single-adults have. It's nothing new, it's nothing bad, but at times, it really does sting. Everyone gets married at different ages, everyone has different experiences. Some meet someone in their early twenties, some meet them later on in life. Culture, experience, expectations, and personality all make the process of dating and marriage differ for each of us. For some, getting married is a pressing goal that is just not attainable any time soon. For others, it may not be something they are yet year...

How I Will Vote as an Average American

How I Choose to Vote as an Average American "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." - Unknown Who I Am I am an average American. I say that, because I am. I grew up in a middle-upper class family. I said the pledge of allegiance every morning in school. I learned about the constitution in school but somehow memorized none of it. I never liked talking about politics because I felt stupid and uninformed. I felt like I never knew enough. We never talked about it at home and that was okay with me. I don’t really understand the stock market, I’d rather watch movies than the news, and spend most of my free time focused on having fun with family and friends. However, when I went back to school to get my Master’s in Public Administration, I found myself in a government class. It was the hardest class in the world for me. I really had to work to understand the checks and balances, structure, and principles that govern our country. I graduated with...
