It’s that time of year again. Where we all decide on resolutions, ways we are going to “change” for the new year. I’m going to be completely honest with you – I’ve never really liked resolutions. They’re not practical. We all try to start them and we’re lucky if they make it through the first …
Wrestling with the Lord // The past year
Why I haven’t been writing lately.
Explain this to me…
This post has been a long time coming. (And I mean years.) The last year has been a year of Jesus really working on my heart when it comes to loving people regardless of who they are. First, let me give you some background, though. After getting engaged last June, I started trying to figure …
You are enough.
“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God …
Set High Standards
Disclaimer This was not written in the recent past. My mind has been on relationships a lot lately, particularly Christian relationships. For a multitude of reasons. And when I say relationships, I’m particularly talking about romantic relationships.

A family member passes away; someone close to us commits suicide; someone stops being our friend. But why? Why do …
Live Every Day As If It’s Your Last
I haven’t been writing much lately because there’s just so much going on in this crazy brain that to boil it down to a single 300-600 word blog post is near impossible. I’m just going to start off telling you a little about what’s on my brain today and we’ll go from there. When I started writing …
When Bad Things Happen to Good People
I’m sure at least once in your life, you’ve heard someone say, “If there is a God, why does He let this really bad things happen?” Or maybe someone firmly believes in God and still questions these things. Maybe you’re one of those people. A lot of people questioned their beliefs in God after the …
Don’t Let Your Enemies Become Friends
“Satan will do all he possibly can do to remind you of past sin… He will tell you the Lord is disapppointed in you… never believe a word of this” (Stanley, 2008). Let’s get one thing straight: Satan is NOT your friend. He never was, he isn’t now, and he never will be, under any …
