For Easter last year, I wrote a post for TTT with several recommendations for songs about Jesus’ death and resurrection. But I realized I've never shared a post with song recommendations for Thanksgiving on TTT. So—without further ado—here are five song recommendations that'll hopefully help you get in the mood for Thanksgiving.
4 Words You Need to Know This 4th of July
So friends, I have something I want to share with you on this 4th of July. It’s one life-changing truth summed up in four simple words. Are you ready to find out what they are?
A Purposeful Life: Having the Kingdom Mindset of Jesus
Easter is this Sunday, so you probably think that this post is going to be about Jesus’ death and/or resurrection. In a way, it is. But I also want to take a step back to examine the reason that He died and rose again.
When God Doesn’t Achieve Your New Year’s Resolution
So I crafted a query letter and a book proposal, which I submitted to about 30 literary agents and publishers. And as you know (if you read my recent blogiversary post), none of those literary agents or publishers expressed interest in my book. I was crushed. But more than that, I was frustrated with God—because it felt like He was standing in the way of me achieving my New Year’s resolution.
Interview with Cally Logan
Christmas is almost here, and TTT is doing something special to celebrate! Today's post is a video interview I recently did with my author friend (and fellow single girl) Cally Logan. In this video, she shares her favorite (and least favorite) parts of Christmas, plus some ideas to make it extra-special. I know you'll enjoy watching this!
Giving Thanks in the Wasteland
For the past (Two? Three? Four? More?) years, it feels like I’ve been walking through a boy wasteland. To be blunt, boys—specifically Christian single boys who are romantically interested in this Christian single girl—feel scarce. And to be even more blunt, even though I know Thanksgiving is approaching and I’m supposed to give thanks during this time of year, it’s hard to be thankful to God—who I know is capable of turning my boy wasteland into a flourishing paradise but hasn't.
Encouragement for the American Who Feels Un-American on This 4th of July
I hadn’t initially planned to write a 4th of July-themed post this year, but a recent conversation with one of my coworkers changed my mind. It reminded me that not all Americans feel patriotic at this time of year. In fact, many of them despise America, in spite of how God has worked in its 247-year history.
5 Songs to Listen to This Easter
Easter is almost here, so today’s post has several song recommendations for you to listen to this week. Of course, you can listen to these songs at any time of year; but I specifically included songs about Christ’s death and resurrection. I hope you enjoy these five song suggestions.
An Honest Confession on Valentine’s Day
I wish I could tell you that this Valentine’s Day is special because I finally met The One, but this Valentine’s Day is no different than last Valentine’s Day. Instead of being curled up on the couch with a handsome Christian man wearing a navy pullover sweater and an almost mischievous side smile, I’m writing yet another blog post about singleness. “An Honest Confession on Valentine’s Day” seemed like the only appropriate title for a post about the major gap between where I am and where I want to be this Valentine’s Day.
