This is going to be one of the most vulnerable and longest tweets I’ve ever posted. Something has been weighing on my heart for quite some time. Every time I speak about marriage, loyalty, or the belief that cheating is wrong, I’m met with men telling me infidelity is inevitable. That men aren’t naturally monogamous, that a man can sleep with another woman and still love his wife, and every day, I see more people defending betrayal as though it’s simply part of life, both online and irl. My parents aren’t together because of infidelity. I grew up without the example of a healthy, loving marriage, and I often wonder how different my life might have been. How many insecurities might I have been spared? How many difficult moments would have been easier with a strong father to lean on? How different would my understanding of love and trust be if I’d grown up watching a man faithfully love my mother? Instead, I grew up with the consequences of a man who repeatedly chose lust and momentary gratification over the family he was supposed to cherish. I don’t think people realize how much a child can lose because a grown man refuses to govern his desires. Perhaps that’s why, as a woman whose heart longs for marriage and a beautiful family, these conversations are almost unbearable for me. Will we ever be enough? Not just enough to marry or raise children with, but enough to be someone’s absolute dream girl? The woman he looks at and cannot imagine wanting anyone else? The woman he continues to choose because there’s nowhere else he’d rather be? Is it really unreasonable to want to be loved like that? I don’t want to spend my marriage wondering whether my husband secretly longs for other women. I don’t want to be told that infidelity is a biological reality I must accept. I want to adore a man and be adored in return. To feel safe giving him every vulnerable part of myself. And what makes this even more painful is seeing infidelity within Christianity. Men who profess to love Jesus, who know Scripture, who make vows before God, only to betray them. Where is the fear of God? Where is the reverence for marriage? I’m sitting on a plane right now, sobbing as I write this. there’s an ache in my heart I cannot describe. I’ve been trying to compose myself, but the tears keep coming. Maybe I’m too sensitive and maybe I shouldn’t allow it to affect me this much. But these conversations have been breaking my heart because they remind me of the little girl I was, and the family I wish I’d had. Deep, deep down, I’m just a lover girl. I believe in loving one man for the rest of my life. In being his favorite person, his best friend, his dream girl. In growing old together, knowing that through every season, we continued choosing each other. And it hurts terribly to think that a woman could give a man her entire heart, dedicate her life to him and their children, and he could still want another woman. His unfaithfulness doesn’t mean she wasn’t enough. But it’s difficult not to ask why the woman he promised his life to wasn’t enough for him to remain faithful. I’ll probably take a short break from Twitter. I’ll still be around for earnings and a few scheduled posts this week, but I need to step away from these conversations. Call me weak or whatever you want, but I owe it to myself, my future husband, and to the little girl who grew up wishing things had been different, to take a break to protect the tender, hopelessly romantic part of my heart that still believes in beautiful, faithful, lifelong love. I really don’t want the cynicism of the world to take that away from me. With love, H Prov. 4:23

Some of you are lacking community because nothing you do is communal. Nothing you do serves other people. You don't volunteer. You don't host. No book clubs. If you do go to church, you don't serve. You are in and out that thang. Don't belong to any industry/civic/affinity groups. No alumni clubs. No Greek Orgs. No leadership groups. You don't know your neighbors. You don't even have a regular coffee shop. Perhaps... Instead of looking for a crew.. look for a village to pour into. 🖤

Watched this with my kids and talked about it. While I don't expect the President to be a theologian, it is sad to see a man so close to the end who knows nothing of God's grace.

So many Christians are expressing shock & disgust that Trump says he could not forgive his enemies, even at the cost of heaven. But the basic Christian claim is that this is all of us! Without the transformative gift of God’s grace, we are all such prisoners of our pride & sin.

And I know people who hate him that would respond in the same way if asked to love and forgive him. Don’t let Trump’s cartoonish narcissism distract us from our own hearts.

How many things have your responsibilities saved you from? How many evenings did your dog needing a walk draw you out of a grief that wanted to swallow you whole? How many mornings did getting your children dressed for school remind you of a value you couldn’t see in yourself? How many days might you have spent disappearing into an abyss of your own creation, if someone hadn’t needed breakfast? You have somewhere to be, someone expecting you. And you have to return to the world, even if only for a little while. Those small moments keep us here in more ways than we will ever know.

I wish people understood that when someone seems to overexplain, it's often because of how much they've been misunderstood. They're trying to give you information that they assume is hard to understand based on how they've been treated. This deserves compassion, not criticism

Sometimes I think ppl are more offended by the suggestion that they've caused harm than by the harm itself. Their self-concept as a good person becomes the thing that needs protecting, and the person they've hurt is left having to manage the emotional consequences of telling the truth

"He was the greatest patriot, in their eyes, who brawled the loudest, and who cared the least for decency." Charles Dickens, in 1843, being very rude about voters in US elections.

"Healthy things grow." Really? So does cancer. This phrase often (1) baptizes all growth as good or (2) assumes that if it's growing it's healthy. Better to say, "Healthy things bear good fruit."

Apparently we should all be like Anakin Skywalker: Unwitting pawns responding to a crisis by delivering civilization into the hands of the very evil force that created the crisis...
