So this month marks my 10 year anniversary since graduating from undergrad. Craziness. And to celebrate I met up with friends and walked the campus. It was weird to see that our hang out spot (the old student center) back in the day had been emptied out and a new hang out (the new student… Continue reading 10 Years Later

The Best Seats in the House
So yesterday My friend Hope and I went to see Tony Evans preach in a local church. We got there and it was packed. The main room was full and the overflow room was filling up. We were offered the overflow room but declined b/c it only showed the service on tv’s and we would have to watch Dr. Evans… Continue reading The Best Seats in the House
Shedding The Group Identity
Not sure how many men know this but women have a tendency to be “clickish”. I know, I know, that’s not a real word. But what I mean is, women tend to drift into groups (clicks) with other women and develop deep bonding relationships that can last as short as a year or as… Continue reading Shedding The Group Identity
Are You Content with Your Portion?
Over the weekend I came across a few blog posts written by people in different seasons than myself. One blogger was a “mommy blogger” and was encouraging moms. She shared about her grand dreams of doing something “big” for the kingdom and listed several single women in history who seemed to contribute greatly to the… Continue reading Are You Content with Your Portion?
After the Dating Fast
Several years ago in my early 20s my friends and I read a slew of books on singleness and dating. We had dated in the world and knew that wasn’t God’s desire so certainly dating according to the teaching of the church would equip us with the godly marriage we wanted. I’m using sarcasm here… Continue reading After the Dating Fast
Change is Good
So I got to finally hang out with my friend last night. We had been missing each other for months and it seemed like forever since we had our normal one-on-one at our favorite hangout: Panera Bread 😉. I had to re-arrange my schedule and even when other events emerged that day which threatened to dismantle our intended quality time I… Continue reading Change is Good
Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
I’ve been hearing that word in this season, “Get comfortable being uncomfortable” It is my personality to get comfortable. If I go to someone’s house, even if it’s my first visit, and we are in a social setting, and I feel it is a safe place, I will more than likely take my shoes off,… Continue reading Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
Recovering from Misguided Love
You know how the Bible talks about God having ways? Like those passages that say “Lord teach me Your ways” and “His ways are higher than our ways”? Well, I’ve said that prayer, “Lord, teach me Your ways” as I was sitting on the living room sofa my roommates and I shared as a 20-something. I had my Bible… Continue reading Recovering from Misguided Love
My Muslim Friend
I made my way to my seat on the flight from Boston. I had just experienced 3 days with my friends who spoiled me with time, love and money. Now I was headed home and looking forward to unwinding in preparation for work the next day. I was disappointed my airplane seat was… Continue reading My Muslim Friend
