The Phone Call That Changed My Life

Sometimes, one phone call can change everything. For me, it happened just after high school, during the messy, confusing world of first love. My first boyfriend had cheated, my heart was unsteady, and I didn’t really know what I deserved—or how to receive it. A mutual friend’s conversation set the stage for a young man I had long admired to step forward, and suddenly, everything felt possible. But possibility didn’t mean easy. I argued, I sabotaged, I craved love even in dysfunction. I chose poorly, I hurt people, and I learned the hard way about self-worth, timing, and God’s patient redemption. That one phone call didn’t just alter the course of my relationships—it shaped the trajectory of my life, showing me that even our mistakes can be woven into a story of beauty and grace. Looking back, I see the messiness, the regrets, and the lessons. And I see how God can take the roads we almost took—and the choices we did make—and turn them into something far richer than we ever imagined.

How to Honor God, Yourself, and Your Marriage When Your Marriage Feels Broken

When your marriage feels broken, it can be hard to know what to do first—or how to even show up in a way that honors God, yourself, and your marriage. The tension, the unspoken hurts, the moments of silence that stretch too long—it all takes a toll. But honoring God doesn’t mean ignoring your pain, and honoring yourself doesn’t mean giving up on your marriage. It’s about small, steady choices: setting healthy boundaries, communicating with love, and seeking guidance in prayer and Scripture. It’s about recognizing your value as a beloved child of God while choosing grace and patience in your relationship. Even in the mess, there is a way to care for your heart, maintain integrity, and act in ways that reflect God’s love—even when your marriage feels like it’s falling apart.

I Had Four Affairs

Sorry to disappoint. I didn’t sleep with four other men while I was married. But I did have emotional affairs with four men—secret crushes, thoughts of “what if,” and dangerous longings that I knew were wrong. I confessed to my husband, worked on it, and learned a hard truth: even unacted-on desires can be dangerous. Ladies, if you find yourself longing for someone who isn’t yours, stop. Run. Not one good thing comes from it.
