I’m guilty of so many things, so many flaws, and this is one of them: I am so guilty of focusing on my own flaws. Four to five out of seven days when I work out, eat well, and drink my 64 oz of water I’m still angry with the body I am working with. What [...]

My name isn’t particularly common. I haven't met very many Celeste's. I could probably count them all on one hand. Nicknames growing up were always really difficult for me. Things that rhyme with Celeste usually  fall into the categories of inappropriate or cheesy. I’ll leave out the inappropriate ones. I never liked them. Ever. And [...]

There was a season, five or six years ago, where I was heavily seeking peace and comfort. And very deep down I knew there was only One answer, but I couldn't see past a limited flicker. It was so dim, half the time I ignored it. I couldn't bring it to the surface to let [...]

I have never been to a third world country before. The last time I was out of the country was in 2011 when I went to a handful of countries in Europe with my naturally spunky history teacher. I knew very little...3 semesters of French, little about faith, and realized for the first time in [...]

Sometimes being a follower of anything can be one of the scariest roles we will ever play in life…it's terrifying when you have to take all of your trust and put it in something besides your own hands. When we hear people saying they are going where God is leading and trusting in His plan [...]
