What I Wish I Could’ve Told Myself on the Day After My Wedding (Advice for Newlyweds)
We’ve almost been married for two years. In some ways these months have passed quickly, but in many ways they have been like slow and steady markers.

God Can Handle How I Really Feel
I wrote this post last October but was too fearful to publish it then. I have the courage now.
