Book Trailer for The Ring by Spring Ruse

If you've been keeping up with the blog, you know I promised that a trailer for my new book The Ring by Spring Ruse: Recognizing and Rewriting the False Narratives Single Girls Have Been Told About Dating and Waiting would be available soon. Last weekend, I did indeed create and publish the 60-second trailer, which you can now view on my page The Books. I hope the book—and the trailer—remind you that you're not alone. Let's keep seeking the Lord in faith, friends.

Your Obedience Matters More Than Your Emotions

Frankly, though, I think the Church often puts too much pressure on believers to feel certain things—like to feel happy or excited about reading the Bible, praying, going to church, etc. I think this pressure can be more harmful than helpful, causing believers to focus too much on emotions and not enough on obedience. But based on what I've read in God's Word over the years, I've come to this conclusion: Our obedience matters more than our emotions.

Why I Don’t Like The Breadwinner

When I watched the new movie The Breadwinner, I really wanted to like it. There aren’t many clean comedies, and I hoped that this one would be entertaining and uplifting. Unfortunately, however, I left the movie theater feeling pretty disappointed. In my opinion, The Breadwinner feels more like a loser than a winner.

What if I Never Get Married? (Part 3)

I started the series by discussing that marriage is good, so desiring marriage is perfectly fine (Part 1). I continued the series by discussing that marriage isn’t guaranteed at a certain time, so forcing/rushing marriage is foolish (Part 2). But today, we’re going to face the most difficult—yet most beautiful—truth in the series: Marriage isn’t guaranteed on earth, so fixing our eyes on heaven is essential.

What if I Never Get Married? (Part 2)

As a “follow up” to my new book, I wanted to publish a series of posts about the question “What if I never get married?” because it can feel like such a haunting question for single girls, including yours truly. In short, this series addresses this question from a balanced, biblical perspective. Part 1 (which you can read here if you missed it) focused on the truth that marriage is good because God created it. Part 2 is about this truth: Marriage isn’t guaranteed at a certain time.

What if I Never Get Married? (Part 1)

Although God’s plan for me probably includes marriage, I don’t know for sure—and that’s why the question “What if I never get married?” haunts me. I simply don’t know. If this question haunts you too, I think you’ll benefit from this post (and the upcoming posts in this series). We'll wrestle with this question together, friends. But we'll start this series by focusing on this specific truth: Marriage is good because God created it.
