Jesus my Beloved

If I was to get a tattoo, it would be of the words Beloved. I remember the first time I heard Tenth Avenue North song ‘Beloved’, my life was forever changed. I heard God call out to me as His beloved and I believed it before then I had not processed the depth of the…

Guess who’s back? Tell a friend!

  I have not written in over two years! Two years people! That is way too long. Many things have happened since then, and many others have changed the one thing that hasn’t is my love for exclamations marks! You know that song slow fade? Yes/no? There is a line in there that says, ‘it’s…

You’ve got this

I wonder how life would be if we all knew that we were stronger than we would ever know, to know that we have been called to great things. That God has given us unending grace to accomplish all that he has called us to do. Dear love: You can do all things through Christ…

A strangers embrace

It was a long drive, a journey that should have taken two hours took three and a half instead. The traffic flow was slow, the sun was blazing hot and the open car windows weren’t helping much in letting any cool air in. There was nothing particularly interesting to look at outside, other than one…

Catch me if you can

There are things that can’t be captured in a photo, like how hard your friend had made you laugh right before you posed for that selfie. Or how the different flavours on that salad dressing which is now on your instagram feed were so tantalizing you asked for it’s recipe from the waitress. Or the…

Let me fix you

I’ma try fix you and hopefully somehow i will fix myself too. Maybe I will find a savior on my way to Damascus, but the Christians you know, they never come this way. And when they do they are not looking for an encounter with someone like me, they really are headed to Damascus, fox…

You’re Not a “Plan B” Kind of Girl

You deserve better than someone who is afraid to commit to you. It may seem like enough for now. You’re just taking things slow. Oh, how I know those little phrases of “one day” and “we just need time.” You believe them. And I’ve believed them. But you’re not a “Plan B”…

That one dream that scares me so much I am afraid to share with anyone else

A little over a year ago my friend asked me a question that has stuck with me to date, I think about it a lot as I process it, I try to  answer it and  harder to believe my own response. She asked what my big dream was, that one dream that scares me so…
