When I moved to LA I knew 0 people, had just graduated from college with a degree but not a clue, I was newly single, starting a job at my dream company (hello, Disney!), and the 405 scared the crap out of me.

6 years later and I’ve single handedly built a life I love. I have the perfect apartment, the most adventurous sidekick (Scout), I have an amazing group of friends, a church I love, and I now work for another animation studio I’m obsessed with (Hi DreamWorks!).

All this to say: you can do it.

I was scared, lonely, tired, and overwhelmed but I kept going. One day at a time. I started making friends, figured out the city, became a more aggressive driver, and started a blog as my passion project.

You. Have. Got. This.

Sometimes, it’s about looking at the step in front of you instead of the whole mountain. You are a warrior, boss, and beloved child of God.

Remember: God didn’t promise it wouldn’t be hard. He promised it would be WORTH IT. Keep His promises close and keep at it. It’ll be worth it. 😘

Okay. Watch out. Some cheese comin your way.

@warnersisterdot is my built-in best friend. She’s my ride or die. We are 9 years and some change a part in age. Some people have always asked me skeptically if because of the age difference, we’re still close. Not only are we close but the age difference means we get a more unique relationship then most sisters.

She was my first baby sitter. She painted my nails, did my hair, taught me how to shave my legs, and took me shopping. She let me follow her around, copying everything she did.

As I got older, our relationship shifted. She’s still my best mentor but more of a friendship developed. She talked me through moving away from home and how to make friends in college. She supported me and understood how I felt when I moved away from Colorado. She’s always cheered me on, picked up the phone every time I call even with the time difference and no matter what she was doing.

She’s God’s gift to me to always have a partner through life. Someone to show me the way and I’m so grateful and honored that she’s MY sister.

Hbd, sissy. Love you more than oreos. Potato loves you too 🖤

WHAT GOD IS TEACHING ME THIS YEAR 1. Patience 2.

WHAT GOD IS TEACHING ME THIS YEAR

1. Patience
2. Trust

TBH, trusting God’s plan and having patience for it to come to fruition aren’t exactly by strong suits. I am a type-A, list-making, paper planner type of girl. And usually I have the illusion that I have control over my life and the future but this year, that illusion has been stripped away.

The project I’m working on at @dreamworks (Fast and Furious Soy Racers shoutout!) is ending this month and at first, I didn’t know what I was going to do next. I started *ahem* freaking out because it was very much out of my control. It’s not like I could meet with new teams in person. Long story short, I ended up meeting with a team (virtually) that I am STOKED to work with. It’s literally the perfect project for what I want my next steps to be.

At the beginning of the process, I started wigging out. I wasn’t selected for a couple of roles and anxiety crept in. But then. BUT THEN! God provided me with a peace that washed over me. “It’s going to be okay. Your future is in my hands.”

My brain was skeptical but my spirit was at rest and which made my brain go “ummm hello!! Why are you resting?? We’ve got things to do!”

Sound familiar?

With everything completely out of our control this year, I encourage you (and remind myself) to lean into the peace. I want to be grateful for God’s provisions as He’s working out behind the scenes, not just when it’s right in front of me.

God is good ALWAYS. And even if you can’t see things being worked out, doesn’t mean they aren’t. That’s where faith steps in.

Sometimes it might feel like you’re jumping off a cliff, hoping to fly with no net. But the net is always there.

So hold on, He’s working on mighty things just for you.

As always if you have any prayer requests, my DMs are always open 🖤

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream🍦⁣

Savoring the last bits of summer. Normally I'm in LA and the heat of summer is still going strong ☀ but here in Colorado, the temperatures are dropping, the rain is falling, and you better bet I'm already pulling out my sweaters.⁣
⁣
But still. This summer has been one for the books..literally the history books and if that's not something worth cheersing with ice cream over, idk what is.

But everything exposed by the light becomes visible — and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. - Ephesians 5:13⁣

Reading the bible can be such a daunting task. Where to start? And even once you get started, how can you get below the surface to gain better understanding?⁣
⁣
Today on the blog (link in bio) I’ve given you the 6 questions my women’s bible study uses when we study the Word together. Our church, @radiuschurchla provided us with these questions and now I’m sharing with you!⁣
⁣
❗But wait! There’s more!⁣
⁣
I made up journal pages/worksheets that you can print out and keep using over and over each time you want to dive a little deeper.⁣
⁣
Wait...there’s MORE?!⁣
⁣
If that’s not your style, I also created a bookmark with the questions so you can print that out and stick in your Bible for ease of use.⁣
⁣
Okay, that’s all😜⁣
⁣
Let me know if you check it out. Happy Sunday, y’all🖤
