Don’t live in a casket
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries, avoiding all entanglements; [...]
A lament
“Let not our longing slay our appetite for living” – Jim Eliot. Today is one of those days when I feel my heart grieve the heaviest, for many unanswered questions. Questions only a single girl like me can ask; questions I cannot ask friends because I know I will not hear the answer I’m looking [...]
A healed heart
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” - Psalm 147:3 For I have learned that a heart once broken and a heart now healed is a heart that can be offered back to God. I wait, still, for my heart’s desires, and I know healing is a process. But while I am [...]

Forgiving 2008
“Not again,” I whined as I readied myself for sleep last night. I checked my cell phone and it was a little past midnight. Then I turned it off because I did not want to get a text message. I thought to myself, “I’ve had this before. I’m not letting it happen again.” I went [...]
When one’s heart is broken
October 2, 2008 I slept at around 2:00 am. I woke up 4 hours after. My heavy heart is causing me to be sleepless. It didn’t make me sleep last night even when my body really needed to rest. I tried all that I can to just lay in bed and sleep, but many thoughts [...]
Real men
The world needs more real men –men with convictions, men who will stand by their words, who will count the cost when sacrifices are to be made. I want a man who has a higher purpose in life than simply ‘playing around’. I’m certain he is out there, doing something great and heroic for this [...]
