Good evening fine people. Just when I thought I had some consistency on Always Aley, life is here, looming. Well as many of you might know from my first newsletter, I’m no longer in Oklahoma, my new job takes me to Wichita and the excitement of seeing what the year will bring is truly something […]
Faith Full
With the long weekend in full effect it’s easy to want instant gratification because we’ve worked hard and we need a break. With this comes the need to ignore how truly blessed we are, it happened to me in Rome. I was in awe by the trip I was in and the things that I […]
Sighting Paris
To end our time in Paris, Micah and I strolled through the city and saw as much as we could. We took it as a “we came, we saw, we conquered” type of vibe. And it was fun. Obviously there were places we stopped a little bit longer to fully admire, but we enjoyed more […]
Self love; Not giving up
It’s 11 p.m. and I should be asleep, but for the past few weeks I’ve had a sick stomach. It’s an indescribable feeling, yet I’m for certain we’ve all been there. We’ve felt like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Like we can’t breathe. Like our heads are being pounded on. Like […]
Self hope

Life itself
It seems so selfish to go about my life as if I’m the only one who worries, is stressed out, is busy, or is conflicted. I feel as if every time I blog I have to boast about how busy I am or how complicated my life has been because of this or that. Today […]
Theology Thursday: I am a woman who loves the Lord
Brr, we got some snow today. The entire day was filled with the falling cold, which made school just a little be deary, but just like the students I powered through. Being back in school today was so uplifting. It’s so surprising that motivation comes from being up and about– moving. All the same God […]
Theology Thursday: Holy Habits
I’ve decided to begin a spiritual series that will be available every Thursday. I’m doing this because I have a great need and passion for my God. He’s been in my life, ever present, since as long as I can remember. My faith comes from my family, my church, my struggles, and my accomplishments. At […]
