Here’s where my mind has been for a while: Homework, vocal chord nodules, papers, bank accounts, and earth: 1. Kathryn: 0. As I am writing this, I just thought of another thing I have to do for tomorrow that I had forgotten about until now, and I said to myself, where is this blog post …

It’s 11:53pm on Sunday night. Only seven more minutes till Monday morning. I sit in my bed knowing that my alarm will be going off in exactly six hours and fifty-six minutes. Questions swirling around me head like, “how is the weekend over?” “is Thanksgiving almost here?” and “how am I going to survive the …
God’s Kingdom is in My Foot.
“I am free to run, I am free to dance; I am free to live for You, I am free” The words rung through the walls of church on Sunday morning during worship as I leaned on my crutches, unable to bear weight on my left foot, which I found out last week was broken …
You have my attention.
Today my world was completely rocked before 11 in the morning. And I needed it. As you may know if you read my last blog post, I am currently on day six of a week-long (at least) stint of vocal rest. Believe it or not, I have found a few perks that come with silence, but …
Some People Get all the Breaks… and for me, they also come with crutches
I’m taking the expression “some people get all the breaks” to a whole different level. I’m on crutches for the second time this semester, with breaks in my foot for the second time this year. How did I break it, both the first time and now the second? Haha, well, I’m not sure. I have …

Passion Worship: Let It Be Jesus #TakeItAllTour
“I just wanna know– what are some fun things that happen off-campus that Hope students attend, but aren’t directly associated with Hope College? Is there anything to do in Holland other than go to the beach and hang out on 8th Street?” The answer: YES. For every college student, there comes a time in which …

When it all seems like TOO much
The question “How are you?” is asked by many fellow students as we pass by. Normally, I answer the natural reaction “Good.” Currently, I may still say that depending on the situation, but right now that is not completely true. To elaborate, I am stressed. Not just stressed, but STRESSED! I am a person that loves to stay busy and …
It’s All About Fall
It’s been two weeks since Fall Break has ended, but autumn has just begun – and on campus, many of us are psyched to bring back the UGGS, pumpkin spice lattes, beanies, and all of the leaf jumping and as many afternoon Starbucks runs that can fit into a college student’s schedule. I’ll admit it. …
Fall Break is Done, but more Treasures Await!
Hey everyone! Fall Break was a blast. It was great to be able to sit down and relax, see family, and rest up and get ready for the second half of the semester. Some of the coolest things at Hope college are the possibilities to experience new life adventures. The churches in the area love …

Grace So Great That We Can Say “Yes” From The Cage
We’re like birds in cages, flying about, so focused on not getting too close to the walls that we don’t even realize that the door out was left open. And it was not left open by accident. I had a chat with God tonight in the fifth pew from the front on the left-hand side …
