God's Wonders

As I look out into the ocean,

and see the beauty of the sunset painted across the sky,
and feel the wind blow through my hair,
and feel the sand in between my toes,

I'm left in awe.

I'm in awe that a God so magnificent and mighty thought to create something so breathtaking, and with such great detail.


He created an entire ocean, and I stand at its shores feeling so incredibly minute compared to it.

He painted the evening skies with such elegant and mesmerizing colors and I'm thankful he gave me working eyes and colored vision to enjoy his work with.


But what really struck me, was that the same God who created that spectacular view, who thought of and created all the hundreds of different creatures living in the ocean, and who at one point in time separated an entire ocean, thought that the world needed one of me.

An Open Letter To My Mentor

Dear Dennis, You.  You are the reason I'm still standing tall and making it through high school. Without you, I wouldn't be on the path I am on right now. You embraced me and took me under your wing freshman year, and our relationship quickly grew from there. Whether it was seeking answers to my multitude of questions in any of my English classes over the years, to seeking advice when it came to everything else, you never backed down and always managed to see me through to the other side.  Your room became a safe haven for me. A place where I could go and complain about my school work until I sucked it up and got it done. A place where we both exchanged many laughs and tears. A place where sometimes the only thing filling the air was silence.  You're so taken for granted by everyone. The way you intertwine your passion for literature and love of teaching is something amazing, and something I hope to have one day. You put your all into what you do fo...

To The Girl Who Loves Too Hard

I'm sorry. You had to learn from an early age what a broken heart feels like and what that exactly meant. And because you love just a little harder than everyone else, you felt the world stop spinning when you got your heart broken. You have so much love to give and you dive into relationships heart first. You are entirely committed from the start and are fiercely loyal. You give up so much, just to see the other person smile. But the secret is, you don't love too hard. You expect the same love that you give. And maybe the world is just too sad of a place to give out that kind of love, and you're just a blessing that somehow slipped through the cracks of heaven. You go through life giving so much, you quickly burn yourself out when you don't receive any of it back. And then you wonder if maybe you're just too hard to love. You wonder if you aren't meant to be with anyone. You wonder if no one out there can always make you feel the way you ...

An Open Letter To My Teacher

Dear Tess, While I've had many teachers throughout my life, none have brought as much meaning to my life as you have. Even though you aren't technically one of my teachers, you still manage to give me a life lesson every now and then, and for that, I'll always be grateful. You've taught me what it means to be a Christian. You're the one. The one who brought me back to my faith. The one who was persistent and showed compassion on me, even if I didn't deserve it. The one who made me step back and realize what a woman who loves God looks like. And I wanted to be just like you. Reaching out to me after the whirlwind year I went through, I didn't think much of your invitation. No way could I face God after what he put me through, but you showed and taught me what a loving God he is. He always has a purpose and will never leave one of his children in a time of need.  You've taught me what a woman is. I'm in such awe of you. The way you carr...
