The Gift of God’s Timing: When Two Become One
And the two will become one flesh. (Ephesians 5:31) For many years, I wasn’t sure I wanted to be married. A part of me did, a big part, but there was also a part of me that feared I would lose myself, my identity. I’ve come to realize, the reason I had these reservations wasn’t…

The Gift of the Balloon: Holding on to Love
I remember as a child, the dilemma I faced when I held a beautiful balloon in my hand and the occasion called for me to let go of it. Though a part of me longed to see my balloon flying into the sky, I couldn’t stand the idea of letting go of something so beautiful.…

Many have questioned over the last several years—why I haven’t been in a relationship, why I haven’t settled down with someone, why I have chosen to remain single. The truth? This is why—because I knew deep down a love like this existed, and I wasn’t going to give up on that. In many of these…

The Gift of Vulnerability: Made For Worship
Worship comes in many forms, and for much of my life, I’ve felt a bit insecure about my ability to worship properly, effectively. I don’t have a voice fit for singing. In fact, it actually feels strained, forced, as if my lungs weren’t equipped for it. My worship is quiet, meek, simple, but what I’ve…

The Gift of God’s Strength: Made Perfect in Our Weakness
I’ve spent many hours over the last week at the hospital in uncertainty waiting for answers. My mother suffered a stroke, and for the first time in my life, I was cast into a reality where I was the mother and my mother was the child. I sat beside her and listened as she tried…
