Looking at Life and Love through God's Eyes
Christian Life, Theology
Last week, I started a series on lies Christians believe about money. The first post was on the lie that wealth and money are bad things and should be avoided at all cost. If you haven’t read it, you can find it here. This week, I’m addressing a second lie: Lie #2: If I follow Jesus, I’ll become healthy, …

My “day job” is serving as the ministry coordinator for a discipleship program at my church called Rooted. Rooted is a 10 week small group experience. Each week, your group focuses on a different topic related to God and how we live in response to God (you can find more information on Rooted here, if you’re interested). The topic for …
Life Rhythms
In some ways, this a totally random and pointless post, but I think it’s important because maybe you’ve had some weird birthday experiences too. Last Thursday was my 29th birthday. Twenty-nine seems way older than 28 for some reason. I think it’s just that much closer to 30. Regardless, I had fairly low expectations for the day. I feel like …

The other day at my work, the slogan “Make America great again” came up in conversation (take a breath, this is not a political post nor does Donald Trump have anything to do with it, so calm down people, it’s just my intro based on my real life). One guy said something along the lines of, “As if America was …
Married Life
Last week’s post was all about 4 things that are really difficult when you’re single. This week’s is focused on hard things about marriage. To be honest, I thought that being married would be way easier than being single. In some ways, that’s true. There are things that are easier about being married. However, everything in life comes with its …
Single Life
My whole life, I’ve heard people say “marriage is hard.” To be honest, this slightly confused me for quite some time. What’s hard about being married? Sure, you’re bound to have some disagreements and such and go through some hard things in life. However, those things aren’t unique to marriage. You can have disagreements with your family or your roommate. …

I’ve been reading the gospel of John lately. Do you want to know what frustrates me about the book? Jesus never actually answers any questions people ask him. Usually he answers questions with another question, which has to be totally frustrating. It’s frustrating to me as a reader. I think there’s an important lesson in there: God often leaves us …

Hello Blog Readers (if any of you are still out there after my sabbatical)! It’s official. I’m back. I ended up taking an extra week in there because of catching up with work after my husband and I’s anniversary trip. I could have tried to get a post done before last Monday, but I just decided it wasn’t worth …

Welcome to the (actual) last blog post before my little blog Sabbatical. This month has been a very varied month book-wise, but I’ve really enjoyed every book I’ve read. The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt I first heard of Jonathan Haidt in a theology class I took in the Fall of …

Hi Friends! Today is not your average blog post. Instead, I’d like to give you a little update on what’s happening with the blog/my life over the next month. For the last year (and some change), I’ve published a blog post every Monday. I’ve really enjoyed writing the posts, and for most of that year, it wasn’t a big burden …
