Oh Paul, if only it were that easy. Paul didn't have to answer to his Great Aunt Bessie at every family wedding, who lamented over whether or not he would ever find the right girl and settle down. Paul didn't have a mother who kept hounding him about making her a grandmother. Paul wasn't playing house at preschool, didn't receive Wedding Day Barbie for Christmas. He wasn't surrounded by Bridal Magazines on every check out shelf, nor was he feeling like he was "always the groomsman, never the groom".

Her heart wanted desperately to be seen as valuable, worthy, capable, and a blessing. As we dug deeper through our conversation, she shared that she had been overlooked … Continue reading To Be Seen, To Be Known
Taming The Tongue
Gossip is a like a spider web. Have you ever walked down a sidewalk and into a web? You couldn't see it coming and you may not have immediately realized you walked into it. But, as your senses catch up you realize what you have done... if you are like me, panic follows.

Healer, Redeemer. Lord, I need you.
I remember once, as a child, I was goofing around in the house, and I broke a figurine that belonged to my mother. I knew that I was going to be in ALOT of trouble. She was at work, and I used the time to my advantage. I carefully matched up the pieces, applied some … Continue reading Healer, Redeemer. Lord, I need you.
