The Beauty of the Chase

I’ve seen it more times than I can count—the girl who decides to take matters into her own hands when she loves a guy who’s ambivalent toward her or even uninterested in her. She makes excuses for his lack of initiation, claiming he’s just too nervous or too shy to take the lead. So she takes the lead instead. She seeks him out, talks to him, flirts with him, texts him, and asks him out. But deep down, it’s unsatisfying because she wants what every girl wants—to be chased.

I’ve Tasted It

Five years ago, I published a post called How I’ve Tasted God’s Goodness Through Not Having a Boyfriend. In that post, I talked about God’s kindness toward me in not giving me a boyfriend because (in short) I wasn’t ready for one. I suppose I could give this post the same name because it’s about losing James*. Although he wasn’t technically my boyfriend, he was the closest thing I’ve had to one. And through the painful experience of losing him, God has again let me taste His goodness.

Don’t Give Up on Love

This idea of not giving up on love (i.e., not despairing as a single girl) has been on my mind a lot lately. Sadly, many single girls do give up on love—which leads them to become bitter and resentful. Sometimes it even leads them to settle for guys who aren’t God’s best for them. So I wrote this poem about not giving up on love to encourage my fellow single girls—and to encourage my future husband.

To the Single Girl Who Feels Incomplete and Unfulfilled

Today's post—written by Shelby Abbott—is about the internal struggle of singles to find peace in the present. I did an interview with Shelby last year (which you can watch here if you missed it!) and got to learn about his journey of being single and stepping into ministry. Though this post focuses on singleness, it genuinely applies to all seasons of life. Enjoy, friends!

Why I Like (and Don’t Like) Uncharted

As a Hallmark movie junkie, I don’t typically enjoy movies like Uncharted. But I do enjoy actors like Tom Holland—hence why I watched Uncharted. Though this movie had a few flaws, its overarching theme was surprisingly good.

The Me I Need to Be

I know that I already wrote a New Year's post, but I had this idea for a poem that I couldn't not write (and when was the last time I published a poem on TTT?). You've probably been getting bombarded with a lot of content about growth and resolutions, which can be helpful but also overwhelming. I wrote this post as a reminder to myself (and to you!) that although it's important to strive for growth in our relationship with God, He has already sacrificed everything for our salvation and sanctification. And because of that, our faults and failures can be forgiven.
