I've been thinking about engagements and marriage lately, why people choose the ones they choose, and how all that played out in real life over the years once married. I have no regrets, but when I think of the standards I had for a future spouse back in my early 20s, I think they'd be [...]
I'm offended that you're (full in the blank) Upset with me Correcting me Avoiding me Unfriending me Publicly correcting me Laughing at me Therefore every time I see you, hear mention of your name, or see a post by you, I will shake my head and sigh because I just don't like you all that [...]
I was watching a worship leader recently, and I thought back to the days when I would criticize people in that position frequently (but I’m perfect now, y’all hear?).

The valley is Psalms 23 is only the valley of the SHADOW of death. All fear and lies are shadows of things that MIGHT happen but probably won't. You see the huge shadows when you stand with your back to the sun, but If you face the sun and walk forward in light and truth, [...]
Brene Brown says women want to know they are enough, but go deeper and you're asking, enough what? And we answer, enough everything. Which isn't logical. No one is everything. So then we come back to purpose and say, enough me. Which means we have to find out who we are before we can figure [...]
