You Asked, I Answered

September 20, 2018.Reading time 9 minutes.

The past few several months, I’ve been asked a ton of questions about various (and sometimes super random) areas of my life. At times I’m great at responding…other times I fall short. SOOO…today, on this glorious morning, I thought I would answer a few of the questions. I’m going to answer ones that have been […]

Life Happens

September 10, 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

Have you ever had so much to say that you don’t know where to start? That’s how I feel. I haven’t been on Balanced Chaos in months. This was intentional. Sometimes you have to take a break from something if you feel God is pulling you in another direction. Can I get an Amen? 😉 […]

Life Resolution: Spiritual Habits to Strengthen Your Faith

Hello 2018! Ah, the holidays have come and gone and the season of New Year’s resolutions is in full swing. If you’ve spent the past few days writing out the typical New Year’s resolutions, that seemingly never come into fruition, join the club.

Vulnerable Post Alert: Dig Up Your Past Without Having a Meltdown

July 18, 2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

I recently read the book Uninvited by Lisa TerKeurst and it was a game changer for the way I process my everyday thinking. My sister told me about this book because she was reading it in her Bible Study. At first I thought to myself, “I don’t feel left out or lonely”, like the book description […]

Peace is a Verb

March 21, 2017.Reading time 1 minute.

I was reading in 1 Peter last night and came across a passage I’ve read many times, but it struck me in a very different way. This is what it reads: Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. He must turn from […]

Break Your Routine & Get Out of Your Funk

February 21, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

“I know one thing for sure; what we dwell on, is what we become” – Oprah Winfrey So, you’re in a funk. We’ve all been there. It starts small. Maybe with an event that triggered stress, which led to thinking about how to overcome it. That sometimes leads to dwelling over it, especially when it […]

Put an End to Overthinking and Self-Sabotaging in Your Relationships

February 5, 2017.Reading time 13 minutes.

It’s currently 1:35 am and I am wide awake. Thinking. Some nights are like this. I guess I do all my critical self-evaluation after midnight. That’s normal, right? After the dust of the day has settled, my brain goes wild. It doesn’t matter if I am having the best day or the worst, as soon as […]

Faith. Courage. Change.

January 31, 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

One of my good friends from Nashville, Brandi Thornhill, always gives me the best advice. We could talk for days, with every conversation leaving me with a sore jaw from laughing so hard. Totally worth it. We may live far apart these days, but we certainly never miss a beat. Over the past couple years, she has […]

God’s Plan will ALWAYS Exceed Your Wildest Expectation

January 19, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin In case you missed it, earlier this week I shared a very personal video about my journey with anxiety. I’ve been writing for years, but sharing my story, to that extent and in video format, scared me more than I can put into words. I shot the video in one take, […]
