It’s Time We Brought Back “Sin”

Yeah, I admit. That’s a clickbait-ish title. But, I assure you, it will make sense eventually. Hear me out. In recent years, we’ve grown less accustomed to hearing that little three-letter word, “sin.” I’m not talking about popular culture where I wouldn’t expect the word “sin” to be bandied about, unless used to convey something exciting ...

When Your Decisions Aren’t Perfect

I’m at the age where many of life’s major decisions have been ironed out, neatly folded, and tucked away in a drawer. Not all of them, of course. But some of the most significant and confusing decisions are done and dusted: Which colleges should I apply to? What career should I choose? Should I take this job ...

A Beloved—Yet Overlooked—Instruction from Jesus

We tend to overlook some of Jesus’ last words in the Bible—words He said before He ascended into heaven. Which words in particular, you ask? That would be a sentence close to my heart. In the very last chapter of John, Jesus says, “Come and have breakfast.”(John 21:12) For someone who doesn’t believe in skipping meals—especially ...

Rid Me of Myself – Devotional 1

With exactly a month to go before Easter, we have a few short devotionals on the theme of following in the footsteps of Jesus even as He poured out His life for us.   Have you ever had someone interrupt a heartfelt conversation? Maybe you were venting about how unimaginably terrible your boss was or how your ...

As Lent Begins + 40-Day Devotional

As Jesus journeyed to Jerusalem on the back of a colt, crowds of people waved palm branches and lined His path with their coats. They welcomed Him as their King, their Messiah, and their Deliverer. The people of Israel pinned their hopes on Jesus. He had just raised His friend Lazarus from the dead after four ...

Does This Mindset Distance You From God?

You don’t need to scroll social media for long before you hear this message on loop: “You deserve it.” Buy this irrationally expensive purse (that costs as much as a downpayment on a house) because you deserve it. Indulge in this decadent dessert (that you'll need to work off the rest of the week) because you deserve ...

A Day in the Life of a People-Pleasing, Over-Anxious, Always-Hurried, Caffeine-Fuelled Work-In-Progress

“Guys, are you ready to leave?” “Guys??” “GUYSSS!!” A bored, disengaged response bounces back from my teens upstairs. “Why are you yelling? We already said we’re ready.” I’m pacing in my high heels, clickety-clacking on the marble floor. My heart is beating faster than it should. My hair is pulled into a messy morning ponytail. But  I plan to tame the ...

When Creating is Difficult

Here's something fairly ironic: I'm at a writer's retreat, but didn't manage to write my post last evening. I guess that's what happens when you talk about writing rather than, well, write. But the retreat was everything I needed for a soul refresher to create content that glorifies God. And I did get some writing ...

Why “No Regrets” Is An Unhelpful Phrase

Although I was determined not to mindlessly scroll on my phone in the new year, I found myself swiping my screen on Instagram the other day. Thankfully, my pointless perusal turned out to be partly helpful because it became the introduction of this blog! (I know...excuses, excuses, excuses!). While browsing, I came across a Bollywood ...
MEET SUSAN

I love words. But you probably figured that out by now, considering this website essentially collates my words on the web. Read More…
