On Waiting

September 25, 2016

Waiting. That feeling of longing. That aching in your chest. That pining in your heart. When there’s something you want more than anything, or something you’ve been waiting for your whole life, and you don’t understand why you don’t have it yet. When it’s so hard to trust that God’s timing is perfect. That goodRead More

Highlights of Europe: Lisieux

September 19, 2016

While in northern France, we made a day trip to Lisieux, where St. Therese of Lisieux, or the Little Flower, is from. I’ve loved St. Therese for as long as I can remember, ever since I was a little girl, and I took her as my confirmation saint when I was 12 years old (henceRead More

August 26, 2016

My trip to Europe this summer was not a vacation or a touristy trip. It was a pilgrimage. While it certainly had its share of adventures, excitement, and seeing/doing/experiencing cool things, the trip was meant to be a pilgrimage and therefore a spiritual journey. Thus the main focus of the trip was deepening our spiritualRead More

Highlights of Europe: Prague

August 25, 2016

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite places I visited in Europe this summer: Prague, Czech Republic. We stopped there on our way from France to Poland, and it was an excellent way to break up the long bus ride. We arrived in Prague pretty late at night, but still gotRead More

A Weekend on Mackinac Island

August 23, 2016

My family and I just got home from a two-night stay on Mackinac Island in northern Michigan (my lovely home state). If you’ve never heard of Mackinac Island, it’s an island off the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and you can only get there by taking a ferry. Once you’re on the island, which is 8.2Read More

Random Observations about Europe (after Spending 5 Weeks There)

August 19, 2016

In 5 weeks of traveling around Europe (primarily around France and Poland), I definitely noticed a lot of things about European culture. As with any different culture, the Europeans do things a little differently than Americans, whether because of their unique history, heritage, and cultural norms. It was really interesting to notice these different thingsRead More

I love so many of his other writings too, and gosh I just love him in general.
