  • First microbiology exam tomorrow and then finishing my book this weekend. Let’s do this! #futureRN #authorsofig
  • When was the last time you came to the Father not with your needs, your tasks, your agenda, but just to *BE* in his presence? A message I was listening to last week asked this question, reminding me that I am the actual worst at this. I’m not good at being still and quiet or doing anything without tangible progress. When I spend time with the Lord, in fact, I pretty much never stop talking. * But there’s something different about intentionally being in the Lord’s presence, taking in His love and delight for us, in a posture of peace and gratitude. It’s there we’re restored, fortified, protected, and empowered. It’s in that place that we learn more about Him and receive from Him. Simply being quiet, listening, and sitting in his presence tunes us in to the heart of the Father and familiarizes us with the sound of his voice. * We might not be wired for long bouts of stillness, and thankfully, the Lord meets us where we are. But the more we set aside a few intentional moments with the Father—in the shower, washing the dishes, over our breakfast, at a stoplight—the more he becomes the fixed point of peace and power in the midst of even our most chaotic human storms. Maybe you need a Tuesday reminder, like I do, that time with the Lord isn’t so much a checked box in your day, but a little drop of big revival ❤️
  • Yes and amen. 🍝 I love the process of cooking, the quiet calm of chopping and stirring. The kitchen is a sanctuary for the marriage of ingredients, singing loudly over the bubble and sizzle, and the laziest yellow puppy at my feet.
  • Obligatory first day of school picture in rainy downtown Tulsa ❤️ #futureRN #microbiology 👩🏻‍🔬👩🏻‍🏫👩🏻‍💻🙋🏻‍♀️🧟‍♀️
  • Happy first day of SECOND grade to Allie G! We spent our last day of summer baking first day protein muffins, watching Harry Potter, going for one last swim, and doing her requested sleep braids so she could have mermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ hair on the first day of school. Be kind, be brave, do your best, listen to your teacher, and have fun! #allaboutag

  • Is it too late to meal prep for the week? Asking for a friend... #iamfriend #friendisme
  • I killed a succulent plant—or at least I thought I did. A few months ago, this plant was completely brown and parched. At the end of the spring semester, I neglected it while keeping the 4 people + 1 dog-child in my house, GPA, and word count alive. Because that’s my story: All of the plants that dare grace my windowsill die, even the ones you have to try REALLY hard to kill. So I sheared off the dead leaves, put some water in it as a half-hearted afterthought, and went on with life. * But a few days later, in the midst of the brown, cracked stems was a tiny white bud. I remembered some advice I’d seen somewhere on the internet, not even sure if it applied to this plant, and put a few ice cubes in it. If that tiny flower could bloom in this proverbial wasteland, then maybe the plant could be salvaged after all. * This morning I was washing dishes and found THIS! I moved it from the windowsill to the table because, even though it’s not the sightliest plant (YET!), it’s an excellent reminder that sometimes, we find a little white flower in what we thought was dead. And even the tiniest of buds can flourish if we keep feeding them, believing they can be revived, one ice cube at a time.
