“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” ~ 2 Corinthians 3:18 I feel excitement all around as we begin 2020. It's new in so many different aspects.… Continue reading Happy New Year!

I’ve Been A Little Quiet
"You seem a little quiet lately," I told him. "You're right. I'm just going through some things," he responded. How was I supposed to know this conversation would set my path for the next few months? I suppose I might have seen it coming, but then again, I didn't realize I was in the wilderness… Continue reading I’ve Been A Little Quiet
Be Bold: Reflections from Guatemala
Journal Entry: April 16, 2019 I stood outside of the dining area of the children’s hospice center listening to the director describe the organization. I snapped a few pictures of the area and watched as the children played. It was quite a sight to see. The center was located atop a hill in a beautiful… Continue reading Be Bold: Reflections from Guatemala
Creases and Crumbles
I’ve always thought how sad it is when a perfectly good piece of paper is crumbled and never crisp again. Or one bend of a book cover and it is forever changed. In one moment, often without warning, something that was just fine is forever changed. I can relate to the piece of paper and… Continue reading Creases and Crumbles
You Are Not the Only One in This
I was never vocal about waiting until marriage. No one knew, not even my closest friends. They knew I refrain, but they didn't know I was intentionally waiting until marriage. I don't remember how the conversations came up, but eventually they did. This is not a topic one wants to tell the world, and it… Continue reading You Are Not the Only One in This

Men, look for a woman who has Jesus, and women, we need to seek… Continue reading She Needs Jesus
Create in Me a Clean Heart
Psalm 51. David's prayer for forgiveness after committing adultery with Bathsheba. David's no-no with Bathsheba is my favorite example to use for waiting until marriage, because this proves that sex isn't just sex. I cannot summarize and talk about the entire psalm because I'd be here all night, so I encourage you to go read… Continue reading Create in Me a Clean Heart

I am 24 years old and I've never had a boyfriend, and I'm waiting until marriage. Purity is very special to me, and I want to encourage others… Continue reading Not Dating and Waiting
Dear SOW Reader
Dear Reader, I hope you have enjoyed Songs of Waiting and I pray that it has blessed you in some sort of way. I keep feeling like I’m jumping the gun every time I introduce a new topic or aspect of waiting, and I realized I never actually shared my heart behind SOW and why… Continue reading Dear SOW Reader
