Will You Marry Me?
Do you truly believe I gave you your energy, your youth, your wisdom, your influence, your power to sit on it? Everyone hates to be single. I get it. It feels like junior varsity or second-class citizenship in the kingdom of God. Marriage is a single unit of the ultimate expression of the trinity. I’ve […]
The Church Experience
If this quarantine has taught me anything, it has shown me my lack of appreciation for the church. My earliest memory of Sunday mornings was being woken up with “get ready, so we’re not late”. That tradition has spilled over into my adulthood…into many of ours. Even if we do not routinely attend church, we […]
A Fairytale Fraud

What if on the other side of yes meant: Losing the support of your family because they believe something different Biting your tongue when […]
Bad case of FOMO
The social media feed never ends. Think about it…You were on your way to bed just last night and thought, I have five minutes before it’s bedtime. I’ll just check my feed real quick since I haven’t been on since my lunch break. Maybe someone responded to my Marketplace post. I only have five minutes, […]
Dark Mornings
This morning is one of many where I have waken up with knots of anxiety deep in my bosom. I feel very fragile and susceptible to danger. If I could describe it, I picture my heart as an open wound sucking air that needs to be filled. Longing for hope, longing for purpose. I wonder […]
Faith in the Unfamiliar
Transitions are all about moving from what is known towards what is unknown; about leaving what is familiar to embrace what is unfamiliar. It seems that right when life starts to stabilize, someone pulls the rug from my feet. Once I overcome one struggle, another sprouts. I wish I could wiggle my nose and jump […]
