Running in the Endless Frontier.
suppose I should explain where the blog name comes from. What I will attempt to write is the condensed version. I doubt it will come out in a way that seems condensed though. Most of my life I have been content with where I am. It’s been easy to get comfortable with the flow and not make any waves. In recent months I have experienced something completely different. It’s been...

Meant for More
Lately I have been seeing that I am not your average 24-year-old. I am not content with a regular full-time job. I don’t want to drive the nicest car possible. I don’t want to work my way up in some successful company. I don’t want to be my own boss. I don’t want to live in a newer, bigger house. I don’t want to own designer shoes. I don’t want to be...

Pursuit.
I believe there is something innate in all women. This thing is a desire to be pursued. I think we all want to be desired and followed after. Someone taking an interest in us gives validation, courage, confidence, and a feeling that we are loved.
I know that the greatest way this presents itself is through a romantic pursuit. Each woman wants a man to view her as the object of his affection...
Longings of the Heart
Lately I have felt this disconnect. It’s like I am grieving the loss of something that I have never had. I deeply desire to be married someday, yet I am content with where I am and being single at the moment.
Day to day I feel fine being simply me. It’s not a huge struggle, but just when I think I’m okay I go to a wedding, or someone says something to “make me feel...
Reflections on Faith
I know in my head that God is faithful. I know that He works things together for good. I know that He has always taken care of me and my family. Yet, time and time again I doubt or worry. I begin to get antsy and want to take things into my own hands. I get agitated and spend time thinking of different ways things could pan out.
Then God does it again. He takes care of situations and works...

Encouragement
Lately I’ve been pondering encouragement. It may seem like a simple concept. However, I have been in the process of finding out it’s not all cut and dry. Words are powerful. Positive or negative; words hold immense power.
Webster defines encouraging as, “giving hope or promise” other sources define is as “instilling another with courage.”
If someone is...
My Heart...
Lately I have just felt like I’m in a constant battle to control my emotions and attitudes. It’s so easy for me to be fine and let one little thing completely change my mood and my perspective. I hate that I don’t feel like myself and that I constantly have to fight to hole myself in check.
I have let these things go for too long. I am done with jealousy. I am cutting out...
Hard Days
I know that life is constant battle. Emotions are deceptive. My flesh is weak. My body is tired. My soul is in turmoil.
My heart is burdened for my family, for the people I work with, for people around me that I know are struggling. Why do I take on the sorrows and burdens of those around me? I know that compassion and empathy are admirable qualities, but sometimes I become exhausted by the...
The Cause of this Creative Flow...
I have never been one for blogging, but a good friend of mine told me that I should start my own blog. I guess I never thought I had anything overly profound to put out there, but maybe through some semblance of random stories, confusing musings of mine, difficult to grasp concepts, and just plain talking about the real things of life; someone will find something of use in this apce.
