This week has been marked with a seemingly endless to-do list as I pack up my belongings and prepare to move to a new city and start a new chapter of my life. I am excited for grad school and in my life, changes are commemorated more by looking backwards at all that is coming … Continue reading

On Letting God Write My Adventures
Along the Camino, I had the privilege of walking in the footsteps of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims before me. What brought them to the Way? What heavy burdens or heartache or questions were they carrying? Many pilgrims walk to seek solace, healing, or search for answers. When I first decided to walk, I had … Continue reading
To India, to India
Over a year ago, my cousin and I dreamed of going to India. We weren’t entirely sure the trip was actually going to happen, but today we get to board a flight India-bound. We’ll be traveling with an organization called Developing World Connections looking to help on a women’s washroom project. I’ve been so busy … Continue reading
Peace for the Journey
Last week I paid a visit to the Franciscan Sisters of Halifax in Herring Cove. I wanted to go because I was curious what their life was like as active religious and wanted to give God time to speak to my heart outside of campus. The convent is located in a quaint fishing community fifteen … Continue reading

Wishing you a ‘Messy Christmas’
Its been almost two weeks now since I packed my bags and flew home to Ottawa for the holidays. Since I stepped in the front door of our family’s farmhouse, I’ve feasted on countless amazing meals and enjoyed many festive beverages. (Hellooo Trappist beers and Christmas morning mimosas!) I am so grateful for the opportunities … Continue reading
I just wanted to say…
I just wanted to say it’s enough Lord. Your grace is more than enough for me. It’s been a tough semester to say the least. But just when I thought I hit my lowest low, that was also the moment when I encountered the grace of God. You’ll see it too that just when you … Continue reading

Throughout this last week … Continue reading

Gratitude Pt.1
It is hard to believe that 15 weeks have passed and our Impact mission in Ottawa has ended. Our days here are now filled with saying final, often tear-filled goodbyes to the people who have become family to each of us. We came as 57 university students each searching, and found in abundance, more than … Continue reading
