Real Women Don't Text Back: How Women Fuel the... →
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.

MY LOVE STORY: waiting with a purpose (by Joy... →
…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...

The Email That Launched NaNoWriMo
lettersandlight:
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...

Firmes en la fe (WYD Chronicles, Part 4 of 4) →
After a bathroom break, we went back to our spot just in time as the Pope prayed and the Blessed Sacrament was exposed. And there was silence. Absolute, total and beautiful silence. There were more than a million people in that place but there was hardly any noise. Everyone was on their knees, gazing up at the screen or the stage, looking at the Body of Christ in the form of the host, ...

World vs. Heart
…The world tells me to lower my standards. The world makes me fear, and in turn makes me want to hide. It makes me want to take control, to not trust.
The world tells me that it’s not worth it if I don’t get what I want.
The world lies.
I should stop listening to the world.
Because the world doesn’t know what my heart desires.
And the world seeks to destroy what my heart believes in.

tmfs:: To My Future Husband: →
tomyfuturespouse:
I pray for you daily. When I’m driving in my car, or that moment of bliss before I slip into my dream. That’s when I think about you most. I think about the kisses we will share. The ones sweeter then the stars. I pray for your salvation, and I wonder if you have found it yet. I pray that you are smiling as I write this, that every day you look to our Father for your answers....

Stand Firm! (WYD Chronicles, Part 2 of 4) →
We had a bit of a harrowing metro ride because of the sheer number of people, but still, it was a very blessed day. There’s just something so beautiful at being able to attend mass with people from different races all over the world and know the songs, how it was celebrated. For the first time in my life, I understood and appreciated how it feels to be a part of the Catholic Church. I’m...

Jornada Mundial de la Juventud (WYD Chronicles,... →
We looked like really tired kids eating by the side of the road, and I’m pretty sure everyone else wants to just fall asleep on the ground. But even so, my heart was just positively thrilled. If this was how World Youth Day will be for the rest of the week, then I am so excited and ready for the next days. :)

What to Do When Love Disappoints →
How do you keep loving when the feeling is gone?
…The truth is, love was never just intended to be, it was intended to do. DC Talk had it right when they wrote the song “Love Is a Verb” (or rather, “luv”). That’s the truth. Frankly, it’s the hardest verb you will ever do. It’s a verb that requires a selflessness and altruism beyond any other experience on earth. It’s a verb that is...
