Dear Tierra, I can’t really remember how we met although I know it was through a mutual friend. I definitely remember when I first saw you I couldn’t take my eyes off of you. You were beautiful. I wondered “wow, that girl is so pretty”. But it wasn’t until we did Amy’s book club and we were… Continue reading To My Friend on Her Wedding Day

Musings on Settling…
I sat across from my friend of 7+ years on her comfortable, homey sofa and tried to ignore the figure sprawled out on the floor at our feet. Her boyfriend, who was intently watching some sort of cartoon (Batman maybe?) on what I assumed to be her laptop, was not even worth conversing with in my opinion.… Continue reading Musings on Settling…
30 & Thriving!
One movie I can watch over and over again is “13 Going on 30”. I mean Jennifer Garner does a superb job of being simultaneously witty and adorable. Maybe b/c I’m more serious than humorous I’m attracted all the more to that quality in folks. Her character is 13-years-old and longs to fast forward through… Continue reading 30 & Thriving!
The Perfect Gentleman
Saturday night he was a little late, but it was my fault b/c I kept changing our meeting time. It had been 2 years since we last seen each other and he had been on my heart lately. I knew we needed to connect and hang out so finally I took him up on his offer to take… Continue reading The Perfect Gentleman
When Nintendo Crushes the Male Ego
Saturday evening something rather humorous and yet a tad sad happened. I was out of town, had just had the time of my life with some friends daring enough to zip-line earlier that day and we were now gearing up for a potluck held at one of their boyfriend’s places. I had anticipated meeting some new people at this… Continue reading When Nintendo Crushes the Male Ego
F.R.I.E.N.D.S- How Many of Us Have Them?
Not everyone can say they have people around them who are growing just as they are growing in knowledge of purpose of their Creator and of themselves. I’m grateful to be one of the few who can. I can honestly say I would not be where I am today without community. Having like-minded individuals to… Continue reading F.R.I.E.N.D.S- How Many of Us Have Them?
He Came To Set the Captive Free
Twenty-three days ago three young women were freed. They had been held captive for over a decade and the sad thing is they were held hostage a mere 3 miles from their abducted locations. A mere 1 mile from my current residence in Cleveland, OH. Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry & Gina DeJesus had their lives… Continue reading He Came To Set the Captive Free
When Being Single Teaches You How Amazing You Are
I never dreamt I’d be single this long. In fact, I was engaged with the intention of being married by the tender age of 22. Now I’m 30. I’ve had a good run at the single life. I’ve discovered there is really more to life than having a relationship (who would have thought?). I wouldn’t… Continue reading When Being Single Teaches You How Amazing You Are
A Letter to My Single Sisters
I once read this book called “A Knight In Shining Armor” by P.B. Wilson, and P.B. shared about a woman who was so convinced that she knew exactly who her husband was that she took it upon herself to start making her own bridal dress, choose her bridesmaids, rent the hall and hire a caterer!… Continue reading A Letter to My Single Sisters
A Letter to My Single Brothers
I’m not a man so I can’t fathom the temptation to engage a beautiful, godly, woman in conversation. To proceed with texting her, calling her, and showering her with terms of endearment (via social media or otherwise), all the while having no intention to commit to her. I can’t possibly fathom that temptation. I’m not… Continue reading A Letter to My Single Brothers
