Dear Fifteen: A Letter to Teen Girls on International Women’s Day

Lean in, sweet girl in the trenches of the teen years.  This is for you.  You: the one beginning to relate to your mom as a friend, the one beginning to wear makeup, the one navigating womanhood, the one striving to discern between friendships and extracurricular activities.  I know.  It feels so complicated. I was […]

Brave and Free

Brave and Free

You know her.  She is strong and resilient.  She loves so big and fully, with her eyes on the finish line of eternity.  She speaks up about her struggle first so that others won’t be afraid to speak up about their own.  She doesn’t hold back.  She gives every bit of her heart to the […]

The Friendship Every Woman Really Needs

We sit on her couch for hours, the three of us, looking at pictures in photo albums and telling the biggest stories of our lives.  We sip coffee and dip some chips in home-made guacamole.  She even bought  Mountain Dew because…well, I am a party with a little Dew.

A Girl and Her Dad

 When I was a little girl, my Dad would drive me to my ballet lessons while my mom stayed home with my baby brother.  He would wait outside in his pick-up truck or would pick me up inside.  We’d drive home.  For thirteen years, my Dad sat outside my ballet schools with a newspaper after […]

Entrusted with Their Hearts

Scripture is clear on the matter of our hearts.  We are to be vigilant about protecting them because that stuff that goes into our hearts?  Yeah, it is going to surface somewhere sooner or later.    Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. ~Proverbs 4:23  We seem to grasp […]
