I don’t believe everything happens for a reason.

I do know that God works everything out for good.

Life is messy and rarely follows silver screen story archetypes or the prototypical cadence of the “American dream”.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because I know that everything I’ve been through has been redeemed.

I’m grateful for my successes and am also learning to love my mistakes because there are beautiful lessons hidden in them.

God uses the whole hog (even the gross parts!) to cook up something amazing and delicious.

Nothing is wasted.
