What is love? Love is deep.
It’s so fun to get together with friends and make memories.
It’s so fun to have easy brunches and big laughs.
It’s so fun to look at that photograph and know you adore each person in it.
But loving your friends also means taking “time together” to a deeper level.
It’s delving into real life.
Sometimes that’s messy, but if you don’t have a trusted group to share it with,
you keep all that mess inside and that turns into getting in your head or emotional constipation
(you know what I mean).
And down the road…an outburst or breakdown.
Deep love from friends lightens the load of life on your shoulders.
Dimensional love helps carry each other’s burdens.
Deep love never adds the weight of judgment but knows when to speak the truth.
Deep love means vulnerability from both parties,
which turns into steel trust.
When we share the more difficult moments,
how much sweeter is it to share the joyful moments too?
Do you have friends around you who who’s love is deep and dimensional?
Cheers,

Hey — I wrote a book about all of this.
Living Open-Handed is the devotional I wrote during a season when I really needed to hear these words myself. If you're in a place where you need to be encouraged by scripture and softened by grace, it might be for you too.

[No. 74] Stop Saying That You Are Colorblind Or That You Don't See Color
I’ve heard two phrases a lot lately. The first one is, “I don’t see color” and the second one is, “I am colorblind.” I want, in love, to make sure people know neither is appropriate. I get the heart behind it. Believe me, I do. You’re trying to say that color doesn’t define a person […]

[No. 73] Love Is Translating Empathy Into Action
What is love? Love is GIRL DAY. Lol. Let me explain. Most of my BFFs don’t live in the same city as me, let alone the same state. Usually, that doesn’t bother an introvert like me. Scheduled facetime calls throughout a week usually are perfect for me. But sometimes, the lack of my deeply trusted […]
