There are several one-liners I like to keep putting out there, one of which is “God cares more about making you holy than making you happy.” Flashback to the famous A Walk to Remember movie where Mandy Moore was at a crossroads and when asked what God wanted for her, all she said was “I…
Read MoreHow To Know If He’s In Love With You
As a business graduate, there’s one rule I got out of my accounting classes that I continue to live by today: never assume unless otherwise stated. Being such a stickler for rules, I made sure to adhere to this one. Apparently, that one went down for better and for worse. I literally never assumed –…
Read MoreStuck in the Wilderness on the Way to the Promised Land
Around and around and around they went. They weren’t riding on a carousel, but they sure were stuck in a limbo. I can see it in my head: the Israelites who were taken out of Egypt refused to allow God to take Egypt out of their hearts and so a journey that was supposed to…
Read MoreFight for Your Heart
“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…
Read MoreWhen I Say I’m Praying for [him]
I say a prayer every time I think of you. Every. Single. Time. I pray that you’re allowing what the Lord is doing in you during this season. That you are completely yielded to the Holy Spirit and where He is leading you. That you are fruitful and growing in wherever you are, whatever you…

Read MoreHow to Pursue Your Boaz (Like Ruth Did!)
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…
Read MoreYou Deserve More Than Secondhand Love
To be honest, from the moment this blog blew up back in 2015, this has been one of the things I have always wanted to say. This was something I constantly expressed to my friends, but somehow had a difficult time putting it into words considering how ironic it would be to come from someone…
Read MoreBreak.
"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? This, this is one of the greatest things He has taught me. That we can be undone, and it's completely okay. Some pain could be self-inflicted. Some pain could…
Read MoreThere Is More to Singlehood Than Being Single
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…
