“Women don’t just fall in love with flowers and chocolate. All that crap is fine. But what they fall in love with is dependability, strength, kindness, community, structure, strength and character. Being the leading man in a love story is, basically, about being just that, a man that leads. Be a good man, a man with character. Have a vision, lead the story, and be the man she’s been...

God is good, all the time.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (Philippians 4:4)
I am not called to rejoice in my situation— Instead I am compelled to joyfully worship my King who never falters, never changes, never fails. God is good, all the time.

Falling in Love. (with reading.)
I went to Barnes & Noble today, intending to pick out a simple picture book that I need to read to one of my classrooms in a few weeks. Instead, I found myself re-discovering some of my favorite books as a kid; some books I remembered, and some I had forgotten about until today. I felt like a little kid again opening up each book and reminding myself of what happened in their pages. As a...

This is something my mom would say.
MOM: I read your blog today. I was going to post a comment but I don’t know how to. I have chosen different possibilities…this time I chose URL (after googling “what the hell is URL?”). I typed out my comment and then tried to send it and a red bar showed up saying I was using illegal URL symbols or something…for God’s sake, I was using our alphabet…so I quickly deleted everything in case I was arrested or something.

On the agenda: mini-shopping spree at Yuba Blue (curtesy of the gift card Jamie gave me way back in July for my birthday), a...

goodbye, summer.
Rather than mourning the end of summer, I am choosing to celebrate it.
This was one of the best summers of my life by far, and the fact that I am so sad to see it end is a good indication that it was a summer worth remembering.
Thank you friends for being part of those memories. Thank you Jesus for moving in me like never before.

For the Lord is a God of justice;
Blessed are those who wait for Him.”
Isaiah 30:18
“Wait on the Lord; be of good courage.
And He shall strengthen your heart.
Wait, I...

growth.
It started out as a feeling,
which then grew into a hope,
which then turned into a quiet thought,
which then turned into a quiet word.
And then that word grew louder and louder ’till there was a
