February has been full of LOVE. Our writers have worked so hard to speak truth about loving God, loving others, and what the Bible says about BEing love. But what about loving yourself? I think that’s something that many of us women overlook because we try so hard to serve others, and be humble. Serving […]

She left the house, the door slammed shut. My head hung over my computer and the kitchen table. She left in a way that said something deeper than, I’m upset. What we communicated with our eyes our two giant sighs, exhaling like a chorus, saying, we messed this thing up. Our love should have overcome […]

Sometimes I’m caught off guard by the way that God speaks to me. Obviously He speaks though Scripture, though a still small voice, though people…all of that. But I don’t think I’m the only one that will hear something, be it a quote, a lyric, or something someone says and just KNOW that Jesus just […]

It’s that time of the year where I walk to chocolate aisle of Target, challenging myself in the art of discipline. My favorite romantic chick flicks randomly appear in my DVD player, and I may or may not have handcrafted some fifty glitter covered, paper heart decorated handmade valentines…. just because. Call me a hopeless […]

Unconditional love is a powerful force, like the sea. Like waves receding away from shore, it always moves to draw us into itself. But sometimes, it’s easier to stand on the edge of the shore, not sure if we’re in awe or terrified. I know that feeling. As a young girl, I was shy, timid. […]

Y’all. I have a confession. I’m that girl. You know. THAT one. The one that waits in excited anticipation for all things pink, red and floral to grace the shelves of target with their modern elegance. The girl that spends hours hand crafting valentines out of glitter glue and scrapbook paper because everyone needs a […]

She turned to me in the dark, and said, “I want you to know love.” We were talking about guy and girl relationships, my mom and I. We had just finished errands and I was driving her home, looking ahead at the stoplight blinking red, green. And that’s when I said it, so naturally. “But […]

As the last Friday of the month is here, I was asking God what to write to sum up my month on writing focused on community. I couldn’t get out of my mind a comment I received on last weeks post and kept trying to focus instead on hearing God instead of being distracted. Eventually I […]

Often we look around where we live and get bored, or maybe you just dont like where you’re living because its not “pretty enough”. You probably see all those gorgeous places from your favorite photographers and you throw your hands up and say “Ill never have photos like that, theres no cliffs or waterfalls near […]

When you find your people, you just know it. People that just “get” you. People that inspire you. People who are real, who are a refuge. You know, people who make you feel good about being human. Who fill your heart with hopes and dreams and encouragement. This fall, I went to a conference in […]

This last fall, I was living in a close-knit community. When I say that, I mean I was living in a 4-bedroom house with 23 people with another 20 down the road in another house (we were all working for a non-profit doing outreach, events, worship nights, nationwide tours, and more in the southern California […]
