What I’d Tell My Younger Self About Chasing Her Dreams

During my teen years, I started this blog. Initially, I covered a wide variety of topics, filling my posts with very earnest (but pretty random) thoughts about God and faith. Over time, I found my sweet spot—my passion—as a writer: encouraging young women through personal stories and scriptural truths. My posts soon began to reflect my passion. I really wanted to help young women grow in their relationships with God—but I really wanted a book deal too.

How to Hold On to Hope While You’re Waiting (Part 2)

Last week, I published Part 1 in this series about holding on to hope during the wait. In that post, I shared a practical way to remain hopeful while waiting, and I'm going to share another in today's post. Like me, you might be waiting for marriage—or you might be waiting for something entirely different. Either way, this post is for you in your season of waiting.

How to Hold On to Hope While You’re Waiting (Part 1)

Falling in love seemed so exhilarating, and I couldn’t wait to experience it for myself. With great anticipation, I waited for my prince to come. However, as the years passed—and as countless family members and friends found “happily ever after”—I started to believe he might never come.

God Is Bigger

If you’ve ever felt completely defeated like I did that day, you should read this poem—not because I’m an incredible poet but because God is an incredible God. He can change your relationship status in an instant if that’s what He wants to do. Even if he doesn’t, He loves you. And He’s bigger than this, friends.

Following Jesus No Matter What the Future Holds

Although I consider this an Easter-themed post, I’m going to focus on a conversation Jesus had after He died and rose again. His disciples encountered Him at the Sea of Tiberias, and He performed a miracle, providing an abundant catch of fish for them. After Jesus ate breakfast with them, He had a conversation with Peter—a conversation from which we can glean a very important lesson as we prepare for Easter.

You Are Not Behind (Part 2)

Deep down, I know I’m not truly behind my friends and acquaintances who have husbands and children. I realize God’s plan for me is perfect, just as His plans for them are perfect. But I still feel behind. This feeling—and the way we choose to handle it—is the focus of this post. We’re going to explore the God-honoring way to handle it by diving into an Old Testament story.

You Are Not Behind (Part 1)

But in that moment, I realized I might not be able to catch up with my friends. They were going so quickly, and I was going so slowly. As I resumed the race, a question popped into my head: How did we all start in the same place and end up in such different places?

1 Thing to Keep in Mind as You Set Goals for 2026

I’m sharing what my friend told me about getting married because it actually relates to setting goals, which we typically do at this time of year. It’s possible you feel pressure—from yourself and/or other people—to make something specific happen in 2026, like get a certification or degree, change jobs, start a business, buy a house, find a husband, or have a baby. And maybe you want to make it happen but aren’t confident you can make it happen. That’s why I’m writing this post, friends.
