Psalm 42: My Soul Longs for You
Last Saturday I woke up in the morning to the presence of the Lord. I heard two very distinct lines of scriptures: “Deep calls unto Deep” and “As the deer pants for the water, my soul pants for You”. It is rare I hear the Lord so clearly. I lay in His presence and soaked… Continue reading Psalm 42: My Soul Longs for You
Thoughts on Purity
I want to preface this post by saying I am hardly the poster child for purity. But then again neither are you. Only Christ is our standard. The good news is Christ lives within us and He empowers us through the Holy Spirit to do “all things”. That includes living a life of purity. My… Continue reading Thoughts on Purity
31 and Single
As a 30 something single with no children, my adult life experience has been lived out within the boundaries of these demographics. It is only now, in this season, that I have some sort of understanding as to WHY this has been God’s path for me (because I so didn’t want it). For nearly 10 years,… Continue reading 31 and Single
The One Where I Talk About Sex…and God
I find myself being ministered to through love music. Not music necessarily written for worshipping the Most High. But music that exudes intimacy, passion, and love. These qualities are the essence of intimacy with Christ. And so I can’t help but think of Him when I hear these songs. I feel His Spirit drawing me… Continue reading The One Where I Talk About Sex…and God
Cast Your Cares Upon Him
Do you ever find yourself moseying along the course of life, feeling fine and doing “well”? Or maybe you’re not doing “well” but you’re doing “ok” and given your circumstances “ok” suffices as “well”. But then all of a sudden you look around and even though your circumstances were the same as they were when… Continue reading Cast Your Cares Upon Him
Newsflash! Milestones are Overrated
As a 30 something I have a few special events under my belt. A few milestones I achieved which aided and abetted in supporting my culture’s definition of success. And at one time my definition as well. I realize now that the struggle in my 20s (and even at times, currently) was mostly due to… Continue reading Newsflash! Milestones are Overrated
The Healing Power of Sisterhood
For the last 2 weeks I have been playing hostess to the dearest of friends. One of whom I met at college and connected to via Christ, the other in high school through the typical “high school” click. Our click fell away and yet we held on tightly to one another, stubbornly refusing to let… Continue reading The Healing Power of Sisterhood
When a Man Waits for Love
One year, 4 months, and 5 days ago, I sat across from my brother and we talked about life. His life in particular. He was on the cusp of entering into what would be the 2nd political campaign of his life and I was cheering him on along the sidelines. I was also assisting him… Continue reading When a Man Waits for Love
Retail Therapy & Really Good Friends
2 days ago my BFF and I spent 6 hours unashamedly doing nothing. Well, that’s not true. We shopped, ate, lounged and shopped some more :-). This season is full of wide open spaces for me. Not so much for my friend, so I’m glad to share a little of my God-given quiet moments with… Continue reading Retail Therapy & Really Good Friends
