When Love Looks Like Toilet Paper
It's the morning after Valentine's Day, and some single women and even couples are waking up with the lingering hangover of disappointment, crumpled tissues littering the floor next to the bed and swollen eye bags greeting them in the bathroom mirror. But it's not only the single ladies waking up to a clouded dawn of disappointment. A handful of wives threw away all hopes of a romantic evening with the middle-of-the-night dirty diaper. Three years ago was my tenth married Valentine's Day, and per my request, I opted to spend it at home with a few single girls from church. My...

when God’s timing surprises you {illustrated faith}
Over a year ago, I attended my first Christian writers conference. It was a big deal, taking a wobbly step of faith toward the belief that God wanted me to pursue this writing thing. As I drove home after a glorious three days of extremely helpful insights and inspiration from experts in the field, I asked the Lord why He led me to that conference. Immediately the song, "Where I Belong" by Building 429 came onto the radio. The chorus precisely spelled out the main premise of a memoir I had been working on for a while: All I know is I'm not home yet This is not where I belong Take this...
