Hi, I’m Mary Hannah! I’m a recent(ish) college grad, I graduated in May of 2023 from the University of Oklahoma. Now, I’m in grad school in Durham, NC. I’ve always been incredibly passionate about helping people and I can’t imagine doing anything other than working in healthcare. I’m trying my hardest to get into med school, but I’m still trying to figure out if that’s the path the Lord has for me. If I’ve learned anything in my 24 years, it’s that God likes to switch things up on us and it always ends up better than we ever planned. I have two precious kitties (Lavender and Tali) who live to chew up my cords and knock over cups, and I definitely have an absolutely crippling caffeine addiction. I love music, Taylor Swift, watching kids movies, and road trips. This year, I’ve been focusing on growing my faith and learning who I am as I’m trying to figure out this tricky post-grad, in-grad-school, adult thing.
This blog is a journal of my life and growth, as well as a dumping ground for my failures and slip-ups, along with my successes, milestones, and adventures. It’s hard to view everyone’s lives through the curated lens of social media: it looks like everyone has everything figured out. I don’t know about you, but I tend to sit on the other side of the screen wondering why my life doesn’t look like theirs, why my life (and kitchen) is so messy. This blog is not that: it’ll be messy and raw and real. I’ll try my very hardest to give some insight into this crazy life and into the things that have really set my heart on fire, but sometimes I’ll just be real and say “hey this is happening and it sucks”. I know that God will show me how He used that for His glory and my good, I want to show that part too. My goal is to go through life with open eyes and a loving heart, always. I’m excited to bring you on this journey with me and I hope you enjoy it too.
Life is full of so many uncertainties but I am certain of one thing: Jesus. So I know that all things will work together for His glory and my good, that He knows the plans He has for me, plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future. It would be nice if He would let me in on what those plans are, but trusting that He has it all under control is what faith is all about.
Lovingly always,
Mary Hannah
Because these things will change / I can feel it now / These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down / This revolution, the time will come for us to finally win / And we’ll sing hallelujah
-Taylor Swift, Change
Lovingly Always
