I had a dream about meeting a man who could have been the one. In the dream, I had to choose between him and the one God chose for me. I woke up before I could make a choice. In my first year of college, my professor and several students dispelled the idea of the one. […]
In the Winter Months of Faith
We sit in the living, each one on a device. I’m writing on my laptop. My sister’s talking on the phone. My cousin’s on an iPad, and her husband’s on his phone. There’s a mattress on the floor and blankets and sleeping bags strewn about. Snow falls outside. Home is only a few hours away, […]

It’s My 2 Year Blogiversary Party!
This little space is turning two years old on Thursday! Was it only two years ago that I felt a turning point come in my life? An awakening from a long slumber. A pouring of new wine into new wineskin. Two years ago, I had a nudge to honor God with my writing. Not One […]
