  • Jesus Tasted Death

    Jesus tasted death for everyone. For every person standing before the cross, watching Him suffer. For the soldiers who nailed down His hands and feet. For the thieves, murderers, and perverse hearts. For the Jews and Gentiles. For every tribe, tongue, and nation. For those who delight in torturing and killing Christians. For those who…

  • A Season of Waiting for the Lord

    Okay. I know I’m not the only one who just loves being in a season of waiting. …Can you sense the sarcasm in this statement? Waiting for anything involves patience, and patience is hard. But if there is one thing I am learning in the waiting, it’s that waiting on the Lord is never a…

  • Writers Relate Post #5

    The Master Author When I was in 3rd grade, I began writing. I kept a diary. I wrote poetry. I wrote lyrics and would call one of my best friend’s from my home phone and sing my songs to her—Looking at you, Des! For some reason, Des decided to put up with me and my…

  • Looking Up Instead of Looking Forward

    I love this quote from The Chosen Season 2 Episode 3. But…it’s also convicting. About a week ago, I wrote a blog titled “Consider It All Joy…”, which stems from the scripture in James 1:2-4. In the blog, I mention the hope and the joy that comes from knowing that endurance during a trial will…

  • Consider It All Joy…

    Dear Friend, Trials do not feel good. No one wakes up and says, “I know what I want to do for fun today: Walk through a trial, complete with a cherry on top!” But there IS a cherry on top (as cliché as this phrase is, I’m using it anyway!) Trials that test our faith…

  • What Did I Expect?

    I expected my first day of kindergarten to be the best day ever. Rather than clinging to my parents’ legs, I ran into the classroom and waved goodbye, not even looking behind me as they left. My first day of kindergarten, I was sent home with a frowny face because I wouldn’t join the line-up…

  • Battling Heavy Emotions as a Christian Author

    It is often said that writers have tortured souls. I believe this is somewhat true. Here are two reasons why: As both a writer and an actress, it is my job to not only try to understand people but to experience the pleasures and the pains that they have experienced. What do I mean by…

  • Writers Relate Post #4

    Finding Inspiration from God’s Grand Creation: Cave Exploring, Aquarium Adventuring, Theatre Immersing, and Zipline Soaring! The sun was finally shining, its rays extending warm greetings after two weeks of rain. I packed my small suitcase, each breath drawing me closer to the excitement and relief of escape from the mundane. Like Belle in Beauty and…

  • Writers Relate Post # 3

    Reading as Readers, Not as Writers A few weeks ago, I realized something about myself. Ever since I started writing and editing my novel and also joined two different critique groups, my reading has been stifled. Why? Because I never allow myself to read as a reader. Every time I pick up a book, I…

  • I Am Not Enough, But God…

    I am not enough. That’s not a feel-good truth, But it’s Truth nonetheless. Truth I need to hear. Truth I must acknowledge. Truth I have experienced. I am not enough. The world tries to tell me I am. It tells me I’m beautifully imperfect, But I know all too well… There’s nothing beautiful about the…
