For the past few weeks, I’ve been pondering on why it’s so difficult to build true, soul relationships with other people. It’s difficult to start to begin with and eventually they become difficult to keep. I’ve watched people come and go and I’ve watched friendships form and disintegrate. When I see this in my life […]
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” – Proverbs 4:23 This verse has been preached a thousand times in a thousand different ways. But such are the joys of the Bible being living and active – there’s always something new to get from it every time. Allow me to […]
We live in a fairytale world of wonder and tragedy, where darkness is pitted against starlight and battles between good and evil happen everyday. Every day is a fight between love and hate, joy and despair, life and death. Every day is a fight to hope. Yet for all the twists and turns, for all […]
Is there anyone here not familiar with the story of Ruth? So often cited in Christian circles as justification why women can make the first move, we look at her story with profound interest. I’ve always been intrigued by the lives of the women mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus and every time, I find […]
Prayer and fasting week just ended yesterday and I was pondering on how God answered all my prayers from the previous year – and how, in a sense, He didn’t. My ultimate prayer has always been that His will be done in my life, followed by bullet points of specific wants and requests that I […]
"It's okay. Break. It's okay to break. It's okay to be broken." How many times do we have to tell ourselves that our brokenness is forgivable?

In other words, if you are single, there is a higher calling upon your life in that season than just figuring out how to get married. Shocking, I know. *note sarcasm* But let’s be real here. We all know it in theory. In actual life, it can get a little blurry. Now I do agree […]
“Why are there no lights out?” It’s early December and I was pouting to my brother how everything is as Christmas-sy as it should be except the new city mayor decided not to waste money on lights and decors this year. A few days after that, we were on the drive home when he complained […]
You guys, I’m not kidding. Two men got down on one knee to propose to two of my friends last week and while I deeply rejoice with them, I can’t get out of my head the fact that life is quickly passing me by. It’s surreal to think that we went from talking about wedding […]
“It is wisest to wait.” How many of us have heard this, have said this, time and time again? Wait. Until you’ve saved enough money. Until the window of opportunity opens. Until you’re ready. And I agree, I really do. However, though this may sound contradictory, I think this advice can be mistaken too. Please […]
