WOW it’s been a while since I blogged. I was writing so much at the beginning of this year, and now, here I am at the end of June and I haven’t written since January. I’ve missed this space and I’ve missed you all! The main reason I haven’t written since January, you ask? As …
I have put off writing this. But Jesus kept gently whispering to me about it. With the sort of things I write about marriage…this is missing. This week, it’s been sooo on my heart that I haven’t been able to get this post off of mind. I had to write about it. What does it …
You know what I mean. To be hidden. How do you hide? Maybe you’re shy. Ever since you can remember you’d be praying for a teacher that didn’t call on the kids in class who didn’t raise their hand. You’d sit at the back of the classroom and hide in a notebook or slumped down …
If I’m honest, there are times my fingers touch the Instagram app before I feel like I even know what I’m doing. Do you know the feeling? It’s like, it draws you in. And why? Is it FOMO? Is it the idea of being numbed out? Or is it that we’re actually longing for the …
This post was originally published on my church’s blog. We have all been “single.” Every single one of us lives at least a part of this life on earth “single” – without a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse.

Are you longing for more? Hungering for purpose? Dissatisfied with a life without meaning? Believe it or not, we are actually called to be in anguish for this world. If you are longing… feeling discontented and like there has to be MORE… feeling anguished for the state of the world… even feeling lost and searching… …
Happy New Year, and welcome to 2021! I am seeing, like I’m sure most of us are, tons of “Good riddance 2020” posts, and lots of sentiment about 2021 having the easy job of simply being at least a little bit “better” than 2020. While I understand these sentiments to some extent–for one thing, I …
I’ve written a lot about heaven recently. The Bible tells us that believers are “born from above,” and that we’re a lot more related to Heaven than we often think we are. It’s easiest to look around and see what’s right in front of us rather than seeing Truth beyond that; the Truth that “our …
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24 It’s no secret that I am very passionate about marriage. Part of why I am so passionate is because there is so much negative connotation surrounding the decision to get married. …
My thumb actually just goes there. No, really, I can’t control it. This is what I learned about myself a few days ago, when I took my cell phone into the bathroom with me (okay, I know you all do it). I opened it, and my thumb went to the app. I’ve logged out of …
