For too long, Christianity as a whole has ignored, belittled, and even outright suppressed the feminine. I've witnessed first-hand the dysfunction that such imbalance creates within individuals and families. When we portray God using only masculine terms, it's natural for women to think that godliness is more of a masculine virtue. Instead of embracing our … Continue reading When God is only portrayed as masculine…
Final call on my mediocre poetry
Last April I decided to write a poem every day for a year. That lasted about two months and I eventually gave up. It was just too much to keep up with and I kept putting out a lot of crappy poems. There's a few good ones in there that I absolutely love. But most … Continue reading Final call on my mediocre poetry
Mother God: Exploring the Divine Feminine
Most Christians are taught and believe that God has no gender. God is God, transcending humanity. And yet, God created us in His own image, male and female He created us. So God is both genderless but also contains both masculinity and femininity. It is a divine mystery. While we believe that we can't really … Continue reading Mother God: Exploring the Divine Feminine

I consider it a wonderful luxury to be able to say to the Spirit of Creativity, "I'm sorry, but I have other more important matters to deal with right now.

I wish there was somehow a way to process through the pains rather than burying them to resurrect another day. It feels there is no such thing is healing, merely these numbing techniques of coping.
October 27
Where is that fine line between humility and confidence in the truth I must speak? How does one stay grounded, but still remain open-minded? I want to bend and move with the wind, but I still want the earth to grow my roots in. Oh! I am the absolute and the ever-changing. I am the … Continue reading October 27
Transcending with the Dragonflies
By mid-August, we had a lot of dragonflies on the property. I've been attracted to dragonflies for a few years, and I loved seeing them flying around outside my bedroom window this summer. One day I was scrolling through Pinterest and saw a macrame piece that at first glance resembled a dragonfly, but upon closer … Continue reading Transcending with the Dragonflies
Serenity – Be Anxious for Nothing – My New Adventure
Yet again, the God of Redemption transforms my failure into success. Two days ago I worked up a macrame piece and did not start with near enough cord.
