I have been on more dates than I can remember. Tried every trick in the book. Signed up for all the dating apps. Let the boys slide into the DMs. Let my friends and family set me up. But there comes a time when you just get tired of it all. Dating is exhausting. And… Continue reading Part I: Dating Before Jesus

Motivation, In the Book of Matthew
Motivation alone doesn’t get you there, but it sure is a great start. What you need to keep you going is discipline. We know this is true because motivation is usually associated with the excitement behind why we start something. When that initial buzz is gone, what else do we rely on? Photo by Ylanite… Continue reading Motivation, In the Book of Matthew
Our Heart, In the Book of Matthew
What if the only purpose in our suffering is to inspire faith in someone else? What if our prayer is never answered? How committed would we stay to a loving, heavenly father that remains silent in our crying out to him? Questions, and more questions. Recently, my family and I learned that my dad tested… Continue reading Our Heart, In the Book of Matthew
Like Water
How many of you can contain water? Maybe for a little while. Maybe small amounts in a water bottle, or larger quantities within a pool. But, as easily as you contained it, water can escape. I recently had a dream where water was getting in through the doors. There were three doors, and each time… Continue reading Like Water
Clear the Clutter: 2021 Edition
The year is 2021. I am living my thirty-third year on this planet. And it is the start of a year following the oh-so-dreadful 2020. Does anything seem different yet? January kicked off my month-long decluttering challenge. After watching the Minimalist documentary on Netflix (not sponsored), I decided I wanted less—not more. Well, more of… Continue reading Clear the Clutter: 2021 Edition
NY: One Bite at a Time
Last year I set a goal to visit more US cities rather than island hopping on a cruise. So I found myself back in New York after 10 years. Like a good planner, I quickly compiled a list of all the places where I wanted to eat, one bite at a time. Sure, there are… Continue reading NY: One Bite at a Time
A Voice Called Doubt
There are few times in my life when I have taken the plunge on big decisions. More often, caution—and resistance to change—take the driver’s seat. Maybe at the root of it all is a little voice called doubt. Sometimes we doubt when life brings us to a fork in the road. Is one choice better… Continue reading A Voice Called Doubt
Run Your (Spiritual) Race
Earlier this year I ran my second marathon. If you are wondering how far that is, just picture yourself taking the scenic route from Coral Gables to Homestead. It is a little over 26 miles. This wonderful adventure I signed up for took place in Walt Disney World, where every mile is promised to be… Continue reading Run Your (Spiritual) Race
Nashville Guide from a Miami Girl
Nashville has become my favorite city away from home. The music, the people, and especially the FOOD all add to the atmosphere. I first found myself in the Music City on a work trip in 2011, and have been fortunate to watch it transform through the seasons ever since. While work hours in Nashville limit… Continue reading Nashville Guide from a Miami Girl
Just the Beginning
How many times have you wrestled with your purpose? Sometimes I wonder if we spend more time questioning our purpose, rather than taking action. Am I alone here? Every now and then I start to doubt where I’m at in life. This year I am turning 30 at the end of December, and boy have… Continue reading Just the Beginning
