Single Life

I’ve been slowly working through Jackie Hill Perry’s Upon Waking 90-day devotional. I don’t read it every day unless I have time to dive in, because I like to read what she has to say and then go to the Word to study the scripture or story she referenced. She’s adamant about this devotional being merely an appetizer that should…

As the year is coming to a close and the falalalala has almost la’d itself right out the door, I’m inclined to think about my fellow single women who desire marriage. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be married if it’s for the right reasons. My reasons for desiring marriage have evolved over the years. These days, I care…

I wear glasses. Therefore, I don’t have the luxury of opening my eyes in the morning and having clear vision. Instead, people and objects are increasingly blurry until I either slide my glasses on or pop my contacts in. For those who have the luxury of seeing clearly when you wake up, can you imagine having clear vision one moment…

Previously, I wrote about being Single in a Pandemic. Ya’ll, I’m still single and no matter what outside looks like, we’re still in a pandemic. Being single in a pandemic hits different when you’ve contracted COVID three times as I have. Yep, you read that right- THREE times. You would think that instead of being out here in these streets,…

When going on vacation, I’ve learned that some of the most interesting people you will meet will be on the airplane. In my case, there was an eleven-hour plane ride and a young man sat in between my friend and me (she loves the aisle and I prefer the window). While we hoped the seat in between us would remain…

I have a love/loathe relationship with dating. Dating is exploratory. Hopeful. Unfortunately, it’s also risky. If I could, I would put up a sign that reads, “don’t come for a boss unless you’re ready to boss up!” but I imagine that might be perceived as a bit too unapproachable . . . even for me. I love the jolly hopefulness…

I sat at my table with my coffee mug warming my hands and the sweet smell of cinnamon and vanilla wafting up my nose. The sun poured into the room casting long shadows along the floor as the heater stirred to life. I was feeling cozy and rested on Thanksgiving morning. The “Happy Thanksgiving” texts were already starting to come…

It’s about that time. The sun is going down a bit earlier and the nights are getting cooler. You can almost sleep with your windows open and the A/C turned off. Other than pure excitement about pumpkin-spiced treats and scents, the incoming of the fall season means one other thing . . . it’s cuffing season. Some of you are…

Waiting can be difficult. Be it a new job, buying a house, finding your purpose, having a child, healing in your body, getting married and more . . . everybody has been in a place where they are waiting on God to move in a particular area in their lives. There are times when waiting is a piece of cake,…

The sharp sting of the wind whipping off the sea caused a chill to run from the top of their heads to the bottom of their toes. The constant hum of charging chariots filled their hearts with terror. The people cried out with complaints and questions. The Red Sea sat before them and Pharaoh’s armies closed in behind them. Mothers…
