Brb deleting all social media. So I am sure all of you have seen the new Instagram update where you can add stories to your Instagram. If you haven’t, you probably heard the buzz about it. I started scrolling through Instagram stories much like Snapchat. Then I scurried my way through the Instagram pictures that were posted. Then I…

Appreciate
I may get this “monthly word post” thing down eventually, but I kinda like that you’ll never know when I’ll post the next word of the month. (Like you’re all sitting on the edge of your seats waiting for it) Anyways… June was hard. I came back from South Africa filled with love and Jesus….
Just now
It’s been almost a year since I boarded the airplane with 10 other team members and headed to Welkom, South Africa to serve at Restoring Hope Village. This trip encouraged me to love. Tested patience. Acquired community. And inspired growth. LOVE It comes in all shapes and sizes and means something different for everyone. For…
Words
Words. Which apparently come to me at 6 a.m. when I haven’t had a wink of sleep all night. Words. So powerful, we often don’t stop to realize it. Words. The ability to build someone up, or tear someone down… to encourage to ensure trust to prove innocence to enthrall knowledge to inform to create understanding…
That’s a wrap
That’s a wrap on the best year thus far. I had so many great experiences and learned a lot about myself. This year, I decided to go with an A-Z list of a few of my favorite things from 2015 because let’s be real, you’ll be reading as you try to rally before the Iowa game…
The Search Begins.
The time has come, first semester has ended and my second and final semester of college will be here before I know it. Every person I come across asks me the same thing… “What are you going to do after graduation?” To that I usually smile as I try to come up with the answer….
A Girl and her Dad
This one’s for you Dad. My weatherman, superman, and spiritual-leader-man straight out of a Nicholas Sparks movie. Originally, I had created a post about parents in general, but after reading the second chapter of “Redefining Beautiful” by Jenna Lucado I knew what I needed to do (Sorry mom, I still love you equally as much…
Summer at OMPR
My summer internship ended today and summer ends this Sunday. It sure is bitter-sweet. I spent lots of time with friends and experiencing things I never would have if I didn’t have a “JUST GO” attitude. That “JUST GO” attitude is one that has certainly developed over time. It seems like just yesterday I was…
Wandering wonders
This summer, let me rephrase that…this year I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel. With each trip I gained new perspectives and insights. I reflect on each adventure I take, looking for something to take away from the experience. So far, I have been more than successful. Traveling gives you the opportunity to…
Serengetee Side Note
I know I know, I said Thailand stories were next, but this is too exciting not to share RIGHT NOW. This picture happens to support both Thailand and my new news. (Yes, that is a cicada) I have been accepted to be a campus rep for Serengetee. Seren..what? Sare-en-get-ee. Don’t worry, I couldn’t pronounce it…
Blogiversary
Happy 1 year blogiversary to Wanderfully Made. In this past year, I have seen, heard and experienced the most incredible things. Saw a few of my favorite bands in cool venues, fell in love with “The Land of Smiles”, watched the US take on Australia in the World Cup, and many many more. How I…
