Patience and Teamwork
Patience is one of the hardest skills to master, yet it is also such an important skill as well. Maybe it is because I am still young and eager to get my life going, but patience is something that I have always had to work extremely hard to have. Whenever I want something done, I always want it done as soon as possible. Now this can be a good skill as well, allowing me to be productive and proactive on certain things. But it is also the cause of unnecessary stress and expecta

Remember the Lord
A theme that keeps coming up in my devotions lately has been remembrance. My usual quiet time structure is to read one Psalm, two Old Testament chapters (going through chronologically and am currently in Exodus), and one or two New Testament chapters (currently reading Mark). I have noticed that in all three places of the Bible that I read from daily, there is a consistent theme of the importance remembering what God has done. In Exodus, a one of Israel’s recurring sins is

Kindness
The world moves fast, often pushing us to rush through every interaction. It is easy to become tired, stressed, and/or distracted as we go through the motions of life. Without intentionally seeking to do good to others, kindness can get brushed to the side without a second thought as we rush from one thing to the next. But kindness is what everyone needs today. Not something performative or with ulterior motives, but an action that can often be small and unseen by everyone bu

No matter how skilled or disciplined we are, success becomes more sustainable when we have routines in place that support us. Why Systems Matter A good syst

Diversification
“Don’t leave all your eggs in one basket” is a common saying, but there is a lot of deeper meaning behind it. The concept of diversification is a powerful one, and one that can be applied to many things in life. Spreading risk and avoiding reliance on single factors is a very important way to live a stable and healthy life. Life inherently involves volatility; Some days everything is going your way and the next nothing is going your way. As a student of Economics and Finance

Pregnancy with Perspective
I am currently 9 months pregnant (really 8 months, 3 weeks, and 6 days at the time of writing this) which means that I have been pregnant for all of 2025 so far. Some would say that my pregnancy wasn’t the most pleasant, but I am also sure that others would say it was better than some. As I come to the end of my pregnancy, I have learned that doing bookkeeping and data entry for a government contractor is a lot like bringing a child into the world. Both call for patience wh

Trust the Process
My favorite hobby is crocheting. I just started a new project a couple days ago, and it made me think of how much you have to trust the process in the beginning. As the maker, I know what it is supposed to become, but if anyone catches me working on it early on, it’s hard for them to tell what the end product will be. As I thought about this, I reflected on how the same concept mirrors life. The crochet projects I enjoy the most are wearables, which take thousands of stitc
