  • Blind Faith

    On my knees, face in my hands, eyes closed, I searched for Him. But I couldn’t see Him. I closed my eyes tighter, yet still struggled to connect with Him as I prayed.

    There are moments when I feel so very blind. It’s not clear where I’m going. I can hardly see the next step…

    And I’m afraid to walk when I can’t see.

  • Things I am still learning…that I wish I knew at 20

    When I was 20 years old, I got married and started my adult life as a wife and, less than a year later, as a mother. At that point in my life, I knew everything.

    I mean it. I was a genius, people. I could tell you the answer to anyone’s problem, and I knew exactly what everyone should be doing with their lives. My brilliance didn’t stop with other people, either…I knew exactly the best way to live my own life, too…

    The Marriage Vows

    My favorite part of going to a wedding isn’t seeing the bride’s dress or hearing the music or the cake — it’s the look on the groom’s face as his bride walks up the aisle. I still remember the first wedding when that became my favorite part. It was my pastor’s son’s wedding. As his bride drew near up the aisle, his face was mixed with deep love, deep longing, and deep emotion. It was as if his face said, “Here you are, after all these years. You’re mine. And you are so beautiful.”

The End.

The End.
