One of the best gifts that God has given me is a spouse that I am compatible with. It is an enormous blessing, and sometimes one that I only recognize when friends ask me for advice on how to handle delicate situations like the inevitable arguments between couples. Usually, I don’t know what to say. …
What was your first year of marriage like? I’ll never forget the shock of reality hitting Caleb and me in our first year of marriage when we both realized that we defined what a wife is and what she does for her husband differently. Obviously, we both brought different upbringings to our marriage, with different assumptions of …
How often do you share prayer requests with others? I went to a prayer meeting tonight and I noticed that lately I’m avoiding asking other people to pray for me. Specifically, for the actual things I’m dealing with that are probably in great need of prayer. I’m grateful that the Lord has opened my eyes to …

Why is our sin so hard to see? Seemingly out of nowhere, I was confronted with the same question every Christian genuinely must grapple with when the real-life fact that their mortal life will end soon, and there is an eternally real result of how we live life here and now. Why do you deserve to go to …
Every year at the end of August I become almost alarmingly motivated. After years of conditioning I now associate the first week of September with ushering in a new academic year, the thrill of starting new classes, meeting new friends, and best of all, “Back to School” shopping.

Why is it so frustrating to not be in control? If you’re anything like me, the current status of things is a little less desirable than where I would prefer them to be.
