Hot Messes of the Bible
People say that dogs take on the personality of their owner. Well, that must be why my dog is such a hot mess. JK, she’s perfect. But, I am a hot mess. Yo soy un diastre. (There’s no direct translation. I think that says something about our culture.) Sometimes I fall asleep with Cheetoh fingers. […]
An Everlasting Springtime
I’ve been a UT student for twelve years. Well, not really – but I have been coming to the UT campus for twelve years. Either one or both of my parents have worked at UT since I was seven, so this place has pretty much been a part of my life since I can remember. […]

It’s not that I’ve reached the epitome of senioritis and can’t even get words typed out, but, through reflection, I’ve realized that my college experience was not so […]
Though We Run, He is Faithful
It was all set. My bags were packed. I said my goodbyes. I was ready to move on. As I read my acceptance letter, I had everything planned out. I was going to room with my best friend, make new connections, and excel in all my classes. God wasn’t part of my plan, nor did […]
Four Days till Graduation
I made the drive from Houston to Austin today, and spent half the time deliberating how to begin my final blog post here. Nothing seems to adequately capture the culmination of my four years, nor the bigness of the coming transition. I guess a direct approach works best: I am graduating from UT, and am […]
Burdened and Burdening
I used to think the word burden was the heaviest word in the world. Its weighty connotation, stirred up images of impossibly loaded weights that would shatter me upon contact. In my mind, the term was so negative that I made it a mission to avoid any collection of burden and to avoid being a […]
