Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Song of Songs 8:4 This is a really short and simple verse, but it says a lot about love, or at least the age of love. Here are my reflections on this verse:

On Moving On
After break ups, people have one primary goal in mind. They want to move on. Well, I hate that phrase. I don’t think that moving on is the solution to such situations. I’ve seen many friends get their hearts broken, move on, fall in love, then get their barely mended hearts broken yet again. ComeContinue reading “On Moving On”
M.U. – Mutual Understanding or Mutual Undervaluing
Mutual Understanding, “Just Talking,” Prayer Partners, Waiting, Flirtationship. No matter how you call them they’re all the same. They are all mediocre, troublesome, hurtful, shallow, and petty versions of realationships. Nope. I didn’t spell relationship wrong. Relationships are supposed to be REAL.

The Eye of the Storm: On Peace (John 16:33)
Two days ago, Mark and I were driving home in the pouring rain and I caught myself saying, “I bet there are people watching the creek’s water level right now.” When he asked why, I shrugged and told him that this has been our neighbors’ automatic response every time it rains. It’s been almost threeContinue reading “The Eye of the Storm: On Peace (John 16:33)”

That’s because you’ve heard countless sermons and Bible studiesContinue reading “Shining vs. Stardom – Matthew 5:16”
On Words
You know how people always say, “You don’t know how much damage words can make.” Well, that’s not true for me. I know. I knew. When I was at my worst, I very much knew about how hurtful my words can be, but I still said them because of that very same reason. They hurt.Continue reading “On Words”
On Speaking
I’m not going to pretend that I am an expert on this subject matter because I am in complete control of my tongue. Those who know who I was and who I’m trying hard to avoid turning back into was VERY VERY loose and harsh with words. I wrote an article On Words before in which IContinue reading “On Speaking”
Smart Problems (Part 1)
Before we begin, let me give you a bit of a back story here. Please try to take this story with a grain of salt. Looking back at my life, I tried to figure out when the word “smart” started to be a part of my identity and I couldn’t pinpoint when it actuallyContinue reading “Smart Problems (Part 1)”
Dark Clouds: Depression
Depression is a rather tricky word. People either avoid using it or use it too generously. You probably know that I grew up in a Christian family. My dad’s the pastor of our church. That means I heard more than my share of messages about how much joy there is in a Christian’s life. There’sContinue reading “Dark Clouds: Depression”
