My boyfriend always looks over at me and says “Friendship is magic, Emma”. This is more than true. I usually just laugh at the silly phrase and move on. However at Vanguard University, I have made some amazing lifelong friendships. Within a year, we have all laughed, cried, danced, played, worshiped, sang, and travelled together.

This week has been rainy, or as rainy as it can be in Southern California. However, my mom got some of the yummiest fall veggies so I made some chips to pair with Hope Hummus or just by themselves. I got the idea from @shutthekaleup’s Instagram post and her constant veggie roasting. So without further ado… Continue reading Snacking for the long fall

The Lord has be speaking a very beautiful truth over my life this week of busyness. This what He says to me: Emma, You are not a body. You are not the clothes you miss so much.
