The Moment You Knew You Loved Him

December 15, 2018 Lydia LeeLeave a comment

Someone asked me recently, “How do you know when you’ve fallen in love with someone?” And I had to pause and consider. Try to wrap my mind around the elusive. Try to pin down the intangible – like trying to catch the wind. Some people will say, “Oh, you’ll just know,” and that could very… Continue reading The Moment You Knew You Loved Him

To All the Boys It Didn’t Work Out With

November 14, 2018 Lydia LeeLeave a comment

Once we went out on a date. Or we had this “thing” going between us. Or you asked me out and I said no. Or I liked you, but you didn’t like me back. Once you said some incredibly sweet words to me which broke my heart because I couldn’t believe someone would think that… Continue reading To All the Boys It Didn’t Work Out With

I Couldn’t Marry Someone Unless …

August 29, 2018 Lydia Lee2 Comments

I have come to discover that there are only two things that are important in a future spouse. The first was described in my previous blog post, “Resolved, Never to Marry.” The second is described below. “I couldn’t marry someone unless they had art flowing in their veins,” she said to him. “That’s impossible,” he… Continue reading I Couldn’t Marry Someone Unless …

The second will be described in the next blog post.

Intimacy Re-imagined

July 27, 2018 Lydia LeeLeave a comment

At some point in time (probably in the 40’s or 50’s), someone decided that it was better to replace the word “sex” with the euphemism “intimacy” or “being intimate.” And because of this, to this day, many older people will blush if you use the term “intimacy” around them, assuming you’re referring to sex.

Single & Seeking a Barnabas-Like Community

July 15, 2018 Lydia LeeLeave a comment

This year when I set out to discover the deeper meaning of the word “relationship,” I had no idea where it would take me. I had no idea of the lessons awaiting me that would begin to break down my selfishness, my pride, and my desire for attention. I had no idea that I would… Continue reading Single & Seeking a Barnabas-Like Community

A Spouse is Not a Reward

June 25, 2018 Lydia LeeLeave a comment

Dear Church, We need to be a little more careful with the messages we’re sending to our young ones. We need to be more select with the words we use that send subliminal messages to innocent, fresh-eyed children. For those children will grow up to be young men and women with expectations built up from… Continue reading A Spouse is Not a Reward
