Fun fact: Mal pal used to be on the club LAX team @ Clem

Mallory & I met on a potential big/little date. I picked her up from lax practice & we went to CFA, obvi this friendship was destined to be great. We just talked and talked and talked. It was great. Honestly, at first I thought she hated me bc we are so opposite in so many ways, but we are more alike than we know. From there on out, Mal pal has been my girl. She’s the one that is going to do whatever to make your day. She is going to motivate you in your life and pursue your friendship relentlessly.

Mallory is hands down one of the smartest people I know and she works so hard for it.
She goes out of her way to be there for you.
She is a great listener.
She is incredibly humble.
& always is going to make you laugh with her corny jokes.

If Mal had to give anyone advice it would be: “Who you are is who you are supposed to be, so don’t be afraid to be yourself.”

We all need a friend like Mallory in our lives.

Mallory, you are proof of His love.

XOXO,

E.

Proof: Meredith

Follow me

Here’s a new series.

called Proof.

One of my favorite quotes/sayings is

“Let my life be proof of Your love.”

So I’m going to show you some people in my life that I feel truly live this out daily. I’m super excited about it & I hope you all enjoy it!

I thought to start, I should show the people I spend the most time with & that is definitely my littles.

Meredith & Mallory.

Please let me know what you guys think about this and any questions or suggestions you have!

Meredith:

BIO:
Sophomore Nursing Major @ Clemson University
Sigma Kappa
Clemson Miracle Exec

FROM: Boiling Springs, South Carolina

Mere & I met on a potential big/little date in September. We went to spill the beans and instantly hit it off. It was really like we had known each other forever and we fully dove into a deep convo about life. It was actually crazy. But we both knew then that we were meant to meet through SK and would become the great friends we are today.

Meredith is the most selfless and generous person I know. No matter what she goes out of her way for the people she loves. She is genuine, considerate, kind, and incredibly strong.

I can’t even count the amount of times she’s been there to pick me up when I’m down.
She’s the best encourager.
Ya’ll for my birthday she wrote me 21 reasons why she loves me so much… c’mon!!
She tells me all the time how much she looks up to me, but actually I look up to her.

Mere wants to be two things in her life, a nurse and a mom. If you know her, you know how great she will be at both.

If Mere could give anyone advice she would say…

“I would tell younger me to get into golf because that’s where all the cute boys are.”

^^^
now you can all experience her sass

(she is also the sassiest most sarcastic person I know, like EVER known)

on a more serious note…

“I would tell my two younger sisters not to ‘fall in love’ in high school because you don’t really know what love is and need to go into college single.”

If you don’t know Mere, you should.
She’ll pour her heart and soul into your friendship and relentlessly pursue you.

Mere, you’re a good one.

Thanks for showing me & the world the love of Christ.

You are Proof.

XOXO,

E.

It’s okay to not be okay.

Follow me

The Lord has been telling me to write this post for a while now, but as you’ll probably find out why I’ve been putting it off. So here goes nothing…

Vulnerability has never been something I’ve been good at. I somehow just can’t tell others what I feel and I definitely cannot tell others the rough stuff going on.

I don’t know why. I’ve just never been good at it.

I’ve always believed that I have to have it all together all the time and Jesus likes to put me back down in my place and tell me I don’t have it together.

It’s so great (insert sarcasm here).

Lately, everything comes back to vulnerability and transparency with others.

It’s hard for me to tell others about my life and what I think about something even if we are super close because I have the idea that they’re not going to understand at all and just be like “ok ya eliz”. But Jesus doesn’t want us to be closed off like this.

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” Proverbs 17:17

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

I feel like I tend to share my smaller issues with others and keep the big issues to myself, thinking that no one needs to hear my problems or wants to know. We are made to be in community with others and build each other up in good times and bad.

Sunday at church I was talking to a girl about serving and she asked me what God had been teaching me lately and I told her He was teaching me vulnerability and she said “Wow that’s awesome, thanks for being vulnerable to share that.” It’s crazy how God works. I needed to hear that. Instances like this happened about two other times throughout the week too!

It’s okay to not be okay.

& it’s okay to share that with others.
There’s no reason to hide that.
That’s life.

God has been teaching me how we are made for community and relying on others in times of need.

You can’t do life alone.

XOXO,
