Today’s societal norms regarding life, love, and marriage have forced me to ponder, “When is the {right} time to get married, When is the {right} time to have a baby?” Today the world tells us we have to have all our T’s crossed and our I’s dotted before we can consider marriage or having a…

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships. Maintaining relationships is tough. If we really stop and think about it, our closest relationships maintain the potential to hurt us the most.

His hand in mine… We walked. Young… Vibrant… So full of life. We laughed… We dreamed of our future. Countless hours spent… Falling in love in the park. I remember… Your eyes… The depth of your love for me. The eyes of a 16 year old boy… madly in love. People said… It’s just a…

Write a book. Sing professionally… Earn a degree… Start an award winning blog… Begin a Bible study… Or a Christian mom’s group… What are your aspirations? Lately, I’ve been thinking about my life. Not “lately” but forever… all the time. I’ve wrestled with who I am… who does God want me to be… who do…

Today I picked up the phone. I longed to talk to you. To hear your compassionate voice. Your voice has always been such a comfort to my heart. So unique… so deep… so tender. Such love escaped your lips. You understood my heart. Always knew what to say. Your words calmed my soul. As long…
