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

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
A Single Girl’s Guide to Dating (Well)
Ever see that movie “He’s Just Not that Into You”? Well if you haven’t, I’m sure you’ve experienced, or know someone who’s experienced any of the types of relationships that were occurring in that movie. And most of the relationships were, well, dysfunctional. *Spoiler Alert* There’s a married couple who got married because they were… Continue reading A Single Girl’s Guide to Dating (Well)
When Trust is Broken
No matter what your personality type, your skin color, your religious beliefs, if you have been hurt/wounded/betrayed by someone you love, you will find it hard to trust that person again. At some point, they made it into your inner being. At some point you stopped being passerby, acquaintances, and mere friends. You became family.… Continue reading When Trust is Broken

Apple Pie, Ice Cream & Wine
This week my friend came over and we hung out twice. Even though the circumstances of this season are less than fortunate, I’m blessed to see my relationships with others growing in intimacy as a result. This particular friend has been a surprising source of blessing and encouragement. She and her husband have affirmed me… Continue reading Apple Pie, Ice Cream & Wine
No More Fairytales
I used to believe in fairytales. I used to believe when Disney said that the couple lived happily ever after, well, then they did. I believed the ending of Pride & Prejudice when Elizabeth is sitting there in front of her newly inherited mansion of a home, blissfully happy with Mr. Darcy (her new husband).… Continue reading No More Fairytales
Seeing the Value of Self Examination
Last night I found myself at a bible study with a church my fellowship is in relationship with. I had been looking forward to attending all day. I’ve been struggling with purpose and identity and all those types of things that can weigh a 30-something year old down when life doesn’t look the way she… Continue reading Seeing the Value of Self Examination
