Where the World is Your Village
Been couple of years since I've been in print. Thrilled that The Hindu Metro Plus (one of India's most reputed newspapers) published my little travel article about the Dubai Global Festival.

Picture a theme park with a carnival atmosphere where you can have tonnes of fun, indulge in great food and shop from among a million ...
Your Home Is A Powerful Mission Field
“Go home.”
Those two words spoken by veteran preacher John MacArthur about author and teacher Beth Moore created pandemonium on the Internet last month.
While I found the comment hurtful and unnecessarily divisive, I simply don’t have the theological training to definitively share on this issue. Thankfully for you and me, this is not another opinion piece ...
Majestic and Mindful
Why did I choose an uninspiring picture of reading glasses to start this blog post?
Because this pair of boring black frames played a prominent role in a little drama that unfolded in the desert. Perhaps we'll call this drama, "Lost in Arabia" or "Swallowed by the Sands" or a title that carries similar gravitas.
Last week, ...
When We Leave Our Nests For A New Normal
I was twenty years old the first time I was all alone in a house for more than ten minutes. I know you’re thinking: Whaaat? Like 2-0? You got to be kidding me, woman.
I don’t have a whole lot to say in my defense. Growing up, on the rare occasions my parents went out without ...

Fifteen years ago, while I was a single woman waiting for my forever man, I prayed this rather ridonculous prayer: "Father, I want you to be the cake and for my future husband to be the frosting."
I wrote this not-really-Biblical prayer in my journal a few months before I met my dashing dude.
Thankfully, God answered ...
Three Words That Can Help Smooth Those Wrinkles In Your Marriage
Admit it. You’ve aimlessly wandered along the corridors of Facebook, only to mindlessly binge-watch blooper videos. Okay, maybe that’s just me. It’s sadistically delightful to see someone more clumsy than you are. Recently, I sniggered my way through one of those #epicweddingfails videos. You know, the clip where a bridesmaid falls into a lake as ...
Giving My Kids The Space To Find God
Somewhere along the way, she stopped needing me to hold her hand as we walked in the parking lot. Somewhere along the way, he stopped needing me to read him stories before bed. She stopped needing me to wash her hair with the raspberry scented shampoo. He stopped needing me to tie his shoelaces. They ...
Don’t Ignore The Nudges
Five. That’s the number of articles I wrote that were rejected by DesiringGod. They were very nice about it – their rejection emails were always encouraging, and thoughtfully accurate.
Despite their kind words, turns out I’m not a big fan of rejection (surprise, surprise). Each time I would say to myself, “Okay, this is the last ...
