That the World May Know: How I Pray for Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Other Wars
Christianity Today // OCTOBER 13, 2020
“The doves will fly again.”
These words, accompanied by a reference to Genesis 8:4, were superimposed on a photo of We Are Our Mountains, a monument made of volcanic rock depicting a tatik (grandmother) and papik (grandfather). This 1967 statue near Stepanakert is easily recognized as the symbol of the Armenian heritage of Artsakh [. . .] Today it is a bloody battlefield as Azerbaijan and Armenia fight over the land.
PURSUE EXCELLENCE, NOT PERFECTION
CFWN Blog // June 23, 2020
They say (whoever “they” are) that perfect is the enemy of good. I agree. The burdensome drive to achieve perfection can prevent us from completing a task or project adequately well.
In many cases, doing a good job is all that is required of us, and is also acceptable because the completion of the task is more important than its quality. For example, if your daughter is running late for school and her hair is a mess, it makes more sense to pull it into a half-decent ponytail than to take the time to meticulously French braid it.

HOW TO UNCOVER THE GIFT OF BEING SINGLE
Bible Engager's Blog // June 26, 2017
For years, my biggest struggle with being single was the not-knowing. A bit of a control freak, I have struggled to allow this part of my life to remain a mystery. One day, I decided I would choose singleness for myself so I could stop wondering. That gave me a sense of control but, in hindsight, it was a form of self-preservation and a cop-out because I no longer had to wait on God.
I operated under this delusion for about three years, until I realized God had never asked me to give up the desire for marriage. God was calling me to trust God, day by day, and to find fulfillment in our relationship.
