We’re strong. We aren’t settling. And then we lose sight of what’s important and start “hanging out with” that guy. If a man can’t call to ask you on a date, he’s certainly not going to man-up and put a ring on your finger.

…if I am in relationship with Him, the Lord, then I can have patience knowing that if an earthly love story happens (and I am believing it will), my healthy relationship with God will be the thing that transforms my ability to receive and give healthy love to a man…
…Scripture talks about suffering. It gives me a heads-up that this will happen because of the brokenness that is in our world. So my desire is that my suffering or questions will not become an idol or obsession that keeps me from waiting well.Because I know this type of waiting that I have described will be part of married life, too.
While the seasons of my life will change, the character of God will not. And, as I said before, I believe in a God who wants to transform and redeem. A God who will transform and redeem, when I ask. In sorrow, in joy, in wonder, and in wait, He is at work on our stories of love.

Give me one reason to stay and I’ll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I’ll leave
I don’t need you to be me
I’ll be just fine being free
And I’ll be all right without you on my side
I’ll still sleep at night but don’t make me have to
- Give Me One Reason by Tyrone Wells feat. Jason Reeves
First time I heard of Tyrone Wells was in college and I feel bad now for not listening to him again for a while. I forgot how much I love him. :D This is my favorite song from his Metal & Wood EP. :)

The Email That Launched NaNoWriMo
Fast Company magazine has been running an intriguing series called Starred, where they showcase innocuous emails that went on to do surprisingly big things. It inspired me to dig through my old Yahoo! account and see if I could find the email I sent out to my friends in 1999 inviting them to take part in a ridiculous book-writing endeavor I’d hatched the night before. Here’s that email, in all of its exuberantly imperfect glory.
From: Chris Baty
To: friendlist

Subject: national novel monthHear ye! Hear ye! Come one, come all, and dust off those word-processing devices!
Under the motto “A lousy novel is better than no novel at all,” I have declared July National Novel-Writing Month.
To celebrate, I want to write a novel. In a month. And I want you to write one too.
