When Love Isn’t Enough
“Maybe I just need to love ______ more.” I thought to myself as the tension between us continued to rise. “Love is patient... So I could be more patient. Love is kind and I could be more kind. Love believes all things, so that’s the answer, more love.” That’s what I...
Will Love Ever Come to Me?
I’ve asked myself this several times. I’ll meet someone, get my hopes up and nothing happens. Sometimes, I get a red flag and decide to move on. Other times, the guy I like will stop contacting me. So, here I am still single, but does that mean I am without love? Over...
For “Them”
I don’t know how to start this. But my heart is hurting for them, so this is post is dedicated to them. Them? Yes, the ones who’ve been wounded deeply, but not by who you think. I think when we think of someone hurting us, we think of an “ex” or “dysfunctional family...
A Risky Pursuit
I’m watching a series and it’s really got me thinking. This series is based on a man. I’m not sure I can completely vouch for the whole series as there are some parts I do not agree with but here is the premise. This man, born of means, comes back from being a POW and...
Certain Aspects of God
“God is Love” 1 John 4:8 “Gracious is the Lord, and righteous” Psalm 116:5 “God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.” 1 Corinthians 14:33 I like these aspects of God. But, what my humanity struggles with are verses like these: “For he wounds” Job 5:18. “He has...
When You Don’t Want The Good
I’m sure you’ve heard the verse, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28. Christians normally quote it to other Christians when they’re facing a rough time,...
Until Then, I’ll Hate You
You violated me. You violated my family. You came into our lives roaring and plummeting. You ripped off the protection we once felt. You tore through each one of us like lion attacking its prey. The damage you’ve done is beyond repair... You stole our feeling of...
Black Hawk Down VS. Life
“Good luck, and be careful.” Their commanding officer said as they headed out on their mission. They went in thinking they’d be on their way in 30 minutes. Little did they know it would be one of the most grueling 15-hour-fight many of them had ever seen. They...
Entrusting Our Tears
If I’m honest with myself, I don’t want to struggle, so I’ve been ignoring it. You may ask what I’ve been ignoring… Feelings, emotions, certain things that I know I need to process through. But, part of me is just focusing on the happy because I am weary of the...
A Broken Ankle and a Dark Pit.
I looked at my phone and saw a message come in through my family’s group chat. It was from my older sister. She had been in a position where her kiddos could reach her and one of them landed on her ankle. Now, if you don’t know the back story you’d probably be...
