Today I’d like to share an article that I wrote for Love Is Moving‘s latest issue “From Death Comes Life.” Even in the darkness of the world and the pain of the pandemic that has been raging for over a year now, so many good things are happening. For my piece, I focused on theContinue reading “We Are The Church: Love Is Moving Article”

A Letter To Young Writers
Dear Young Writers, I used to dream about what I would write to you when I was published and experienced—when I knew what I was doing in the writing world and could give you complete, definite advice and a detailed step-by-step map to seeing your name in print. But then I realized that writing isContinue reading “A Letter To Young Writers”
Peace In Chaos: Unlocked Devotional
Doves, Christmas, smiles quiet, sunrises, calming music, and the end of exam season. A lot of things come to mind when we think of peace, and it’s a word we throw around a lot. But what is peace really? And in such a crazy world, how can we find real, lasting peace? I don’t oftenContinue reading “Peace In Chaos: Unlocked Devotional”
2021: New Year, New Adventures
A new year is like a new notebook: A fresh start, full of new opportunities. Stark and white as the midwinter snow around us, the crisp blank pages eagerly await to be filled margin-to-margin with adventures. But we have to live out our story before we can write it down. So, for now, on theContinue reading “2021: New Year, New Adventures”

After years of dreaming about writing for a magazine, my very first article is now published: “Sweet gifts of love: Baking cookies for strangers during the pandemic.” Writing this piece for Love Is Moving has been an amazing adventure into the unknown world of magazine writing, and I’ve already learned so much.Continue reading “Sweet Gifts of Love: My First Magazine Article!”
Wide Awake: Unlocked Devotional
Sometimes it’s a new idea. Sometimes it’s from busyness. Sometimes it’s sadness or fear. Sometimes it’s anticipation or excitement, other times it’s dread or worry. Whatever reason, we all sometimes find ourselves wide awake at night. I know I do. In my frustration with my awakeness (and the boredom that comes with it), I oftenContinue reading “Wide Awake: Unlocked Devotional”
A Letter to Aspiring Authors
Today is International Author’s Day, a day to celebrate storytelling, the books (and their writers) that inspire us, and the authors we often aspire to be. This is a great day to reread a favourite book, send a thank you email to one of your favourite authors, or to find extra motivation to start aContinue reading “A Letter to Aspiring Authors”
Promises for Anxiety: Unlocked Devotional
I can feel it building inside of me like a heavy weight on my chest. It’s an unexplained hurricane surging into my mind, whirling around my thoughts so quickly that I can no longer make sense of them. I can only ride out the storm and hope that I find some way to cope withContinue reading “Promises for Anxiety: Unlocked Devotional”
The Secret Writer
Sometimes I think I’m the most secretive writer ever. I hide in the corner with a laptop and hide my screen when someone comes near. When someone asks me what my story is about, I say, “an adventure” (truthful, but too vague to mean anything). I fumble over my words when asked for a plotContinue reading “The Secret Writer”
Finding Rest: Unlocked Devotional
In a short moment, life can go from boredom and having nothing to do to a mountainous to-do list and an overwhelming, overflowing to-do list. We go, go, go, with no time to stop. That’s how I feel about this transition time from summer to fall: At the end of summer break, I had seeminglyContinue reading “Finding Rest: Unlocked Devotional”
