I'll be honest, I want to look the other way. I want to hide under my pillow. I want to close my eyes because I do not have the answers to what is happening in our country. This isn't something that you can slap an "this is the end times" band-aid on ... that works… Continue reading It’s Our Problem

Not the Norm
"Your dad is rare." A few weeks ago, I was talking to a counseling friend from my church who's husband is on staff. As a mom of two little ones, she was asking me about my experience growing up in the ministry and how I handled knowing that church often took precedence in my dad's… Continue reading Not the Norm
When Good Intentions Are Wrong: Part 2
So maybe this is more of an update than a part two but you all should know that I am still on Christian Mingle. However, my whole outlook has completely changed in the past week.

When Good Intentions Are Wrong
"The path to hell is lined with good intentions." That's the statement a friend of mine made to me a little while ago today when I asked him on how you know the difference of walking in the flesh and walking in the Spirit? I shared that it's not my desire to walk in the… Continue reading When Good Intentions Are Wrong
Confession …
They say (whoever, they are) confession is good for the soul. Well here it goes ... I am not perfect. It's ok to be appalled now and that shift you just felt in the atmosphere was the Earth coming to a halt at that revelation 🙂 I am and always have been the first to… Continue reading Confession …

Two years ago when I joined I was desperate to find a date to one of my guy friend's weddings. I was in a place… Continue reading How Not to Be Creepy on Christian Mingle
The Songs We Don’t Sing Anymore
I love music as it wraps itself around my heart and stirs emotions inside of me that, sometimes, I didn't even know I had. But more than anything I love Christ-centered music. It speaks to my soul like nothing else can. And if music is going to have the kind of effect on me like… Continue reading The Songs We Don’t Sing Anymore
A Placed Called Home
Over the Easter weekend, I was able to go visit my family in West Tennessee. Ever since my visit I have been thinking about "home" a great deal. The concept of home and the actual location of it. At 32 years of age, the current details that make up my home aren't at all what… Continue reading A Placed Called Home
I Surrender But Not to This
Sixteen years ago today I was at my state's Youth Evangelism Conference in Nashville, TN. I was sitting in the basketball arena of Vanderbilt University when I wrote in the margin my blue leather NIV tabbed Bible next to Proverbs 3, a prayer surrendering my dating life to the Lord. However, it is what's not… Continue reading I Surrender But Not to This
In Everything Give Thanks
My dad has a sermon that he preaches on 1 Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." The key point in his sermon is that while we aren't always thankful for everything we can be thankful in everything. He typically then shares a personal example of… Continue reading In Everything Give Thanks
