somewhere between silence & screaming
I'm 20-something, happily married, happily employed, and living in Florida with my husband and my dog.
I grew up in TN, and sometimes I miss it. I love laughter, chocolate, and Jesus.
Other than that, all you need to know is - this blog is my journey of discovering what it means to be made by God, for God, and how to live like the loved, called and chosen daughter of the King that He says I am.

I’m getting a little more consistent at this, I guess.
Something you hope to do in your life.
Goals are good, yes? I actually quite struggle with them. They feel like these giant limiting balls of pressure to me. I feel like by setting goals, I’m saying I’m dedicating myself towards this thing. But what if I get halfway there and realize God actually has that thing for me. Then I deal with abandoning a pursuit I had been clinging to and feeling failure. Which isn’t what it’s supposed to be at all. For this reason, I do the opposite of what people tell you to do with personal goals. I keep them vague, general, and ongoing.
So a general, vague, ongoing thing I hope to do in my life? I hope to be a mom someday. I don’t know what that looks like yet. There are a lot of ways to be a mom - traditional reproduction, fostering, adoption, mentoring those without mother figures in their lives. Sometimes I think I want a part of all of it, because they all seem like they’d teach you so much more about what it means to really love. But no matter what the route, I hope to be a mom of some sort to someone. And I really believe with all of my heart that will happen one day. We’re not ready yet, and I know that to be truth in my heart, but I trust that God’s timing is perfect, so whether it’s in 4 years or 14 or 24, I believe one day this hope will be fulfilled.
