Week in Review- The Power in Lament →
This week in Old Testament, we have been reading and learning about the Psalms. Before the semester started, I was feeling a little nervous about leaving the Old Testament narrative to move on to…
Why I simply had to have a good cry today.
I Wish You Love
From the Kissing Jessica Stein soundtrack
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love And in July a lemonade To cool you in some leafy glade I wish you health But more than wealth I wish you love My breaking heart and I agree That you and I could never be So with my best My very best I set you...
Tiny Wisdom: On Being Vulnerable →
Sometimes other people aren’t ready or willing to hear our truth, but that shouldn’t stop us from telling it. Show the world who you really are! You might be surprised by how many people will appreciate it. <3

Life is a Series of Changes.
Situations, and yes even people, change in unexpected ways. When they do, we are left thinking “what the hell just happened to me?
In those times, we can push, pull, (or some other active verb) to bring things back to a place that’s comfortable or we can accept that things have changed irrevocably. When faced with change sometimes walking away is the best (or only) thing we can do.

Hard Lovers and Unconscious Suicide →
I used to feel sorry for a friend of mine who repeatedly loved and lost relationships. Her love was so wide and so deep that she tried time and again to make a relationship work, even when everyone…
Love Starts Inside You-- And Flows Outward
fuckyeahblackpower:
People tell others “I love you” when they don’t even love themselves. Only out of the abundance of love from within can you then spread genuine affection and care to another person. I wouldn’t trust food being offered to me by a man who I know is starving. In the same sense, if an individual is emotionally starving of self-love, how then can they properly display their love...
Deuteronomy and Judges Battle It Out →
Let me start by saying that my Old Testament professor is amazing. So it pains me that I have to disagree with him on this one thing. He calls Deuteronomy “hinge and center” because it is the pivot…

Everything begins with love

everything in life begins with love. in all relationships, in our work, in our encounters with random strangers, everything is connected and we should love accordingly. we only give when we love.
Despair, Fairness, Punishment and Transition →
My first favorite Bible Lesson
Cain as catalyst or Punishment as Transition
From the start of the Bible, it’s clear that land, plants and animals are important. The first few chapters of Genesis…
I Might Be Broken →
It is not unusual for me to meet a person, talk to them for a minute or two and decide that we are going to be best friends. Making a friend is like being struck by lightning. It happens in a flash,…

What's Your Sign?
Apparently my sign has changed. And I’m not too upset because I am so Sagittarius that nothing can really change that. However, this new sign sounds pretty cool, and I can see how us Sags (or at least me) could fit.
Now I just gotta figure out how to pronounce it.
We've been waiting for you! →
I love this! Be the best you that you can…that is what the world needs from you.

Someone I care about said to me today that they’re watching for their next opportunity to make them uncomfortable. Yesterday someone asked me for my advice on what she should do next and where to start.
The thing is, watching will not lead to finding. Not knowing what to do and feeling like…
Amen, Sister

Relationships either work or they don’t. You either treat each other like gold and it feels good or it doesn’t feel right at all. When it’s right, embrace. When it’s wrong, let go. It’s better to walk away from situations that aren’t right than hold on for something to change or magically evolve. You’ll end up closing yourself off to new and better beginnings.
Your Art Is Not Frivolous
Your art is not frivolous.
As a matter of fact, your art is necessary.
Necessary not only for your own good…
…but for the well-being of the human race.
We need you to create.
We need you to put yourself out there.
And we need you to share your gifts with us.
Because inspiration builds upon inspiration.
And without you, we will be sorely lacking.
Lacking in the confidence to pursue our own...
