So today I choose
God is a promise keeping God. He is ever faithful. When we are going through the hard times, it’s difficult though to see that anything could be good. I wish I had that kind of faith. The kind of faith that chooses to see the promises of God when I am feeling my weakest. The […]

Passionate Love Affair
My first Valentines date was completely special. It wasn’t extravagant or fancy. We had drinks and appetizers. He ordered his Stella and I ordered my mojito and in case you want to know the real reason I drink Stellas, it’s in remembrance of him. I recall that evening to the exact detail. I remember the […]

Nothing short of the goodness of God
I easily forget the goodness of God. I easily forget his faithfulness and how he provides. I get so wrapped up in worry that when I really need to remember, I don’t. It was the coldest day of year, the coldest day since maybe the 1940s and I followed all the directions I was given […]

Growing up I probably made it to church every Sunday. But as soon as I turned 18 and started working a full time job and attending college full time, my perfect church attendance wasn’t so perfect. I questioned myself a lot during that time and convinced myself that as soon as I finished college and […]

Someday you will
This past year has been a year of blessings, a year of new doors and new beginnings for some. While for others, it was yet another year of searing pain, a year left seemingly insignificant in the desert season. I know what the desert season feels like, the emptiness and loss, the waiting, the longing. […]

When the holidays are hard and rejoicing seems nearly impossible
I love the holidays! They help me get through the cold winter months. Somehow the holiday music and lights spread cheer among everyone. There seems to be so much to do around this time of year. It’s a time of giving, a time of sharing. Yet, the holiday season isn’t a time of rejoicing for […]

The Advice of Christians
Christians can sometimes offer the best advice because their advice is for the most part is biblical. It was around this time last year, I was sitting around with a few of my church friends. I’m not sure how we drifted off into the topic of marriage but as all things and all our conversations […]
