I didn’t fall in love at first sight with my husband. In fact, when I first saw Anthony, I thought he was interested in someone else. Which he was, at the time. And when we first went out, I was actually interested in someone else. But I’m getting ahead of the story. […]
love at first sight, marriageCome and See: Glimpsing His Presence Now
We stood around our students, we teacher-chaperones, our arms outstretched over them. Together we prayed, aloud and all at once, as believers in Korean churches often do.

Praying for AmericaOf Hidden Figures, Inaugurations, and Finding Reasons to Hope

I loved the movie—so well written, directed, and acted, and such a beautifully inspiring true story.

Hidden FiguresFalling like the Rain: Mercies in the New Year
It’s raining as I write this, pattering gently down outside the darkened windows of my parents’ white farmhouse-style home.
