I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.

An Ode to Languages
Languages are my love language. I know that sounds redundant, but it is true. I adore languages. There is something inherently special about them. Perhaps it is the way each language sounds. One is more efficient, one is strong, one is melodious. One sings with the warmth of the Mediterranean sun. One is matter-of-fact and… Continue reading An Ode to Languages

I’m Close to My Family For as long as I can remember, my mother has been my best friend.

The Confusion Of The TCK: Where They Are From “So where are you from? “ I paused… Should I give them the long answer? Or the short one? “Umm, I’m American.” “Oh, cool.” It was true.

Wretches in the Midst of Sanctification
Temptation is sneaky. It creeps up on you at the moment you least expect – but should have been expecting all along. We are so short-sighted. I had been taking small steps for a long time. Indulging myself in little things that didn’t seem important. They felt good because they were a way to escape… Continue reading Wretches in the Midst of Sanctification

Peace by Storm
I am tired, frustrated, and restless. I guess this year was not what any of us expected. I know that’s an understatement. I just – feel so tired. Physically, spiritually and mentally. I don’t feel peace. However, God’s truth and love triumph over my feelings. I know that. Then why can’t I bring myself to… Continue reading Peace by Storm

A Lesson For Young People from Crime and Punishment
This summer, I had to read Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky as assigned reading. When I first started the book, I was frustrated, because it seemed like a boring and useless way to spend my summer. (And that’s coming from someone who likes books.) But about halfway through, things started to make sense and I began to… Continue reading A Lesson For Young People from Crime and Punishment
