“Your yesterdays are gone. Your tomorrows are His. You have only today. This moment, I do the will of my Father. This moment I am obedient unto death. This moment I burn with a fire that knows neither end nor beginning, that must spill itself in the service of my neighbour, for I must prove … Continue reading →

Summer Road-trippin’

I don’t think this summer could have flown by any faster! I got engaged and this, of course, led to lots of celebrations. Fatigue aside, its been an incredibly happy season and Zaid and I are both so excited for what the future holds. Don’t we look excited? But all joking aside, it really has … Continue reading →

Oh ye of little faith: My life lately

I’ve learned a lot from St. Peter this past year. He was a simple fisherman who God used to do great things. He was grossly under-qualified for the job Jesus gave him and really struggled with trust and abandonment. I’ve come back to accounts of Peter grasping and falling short in the Gospels so many … Continue reading →

Michelangelo, Maya Angelo, and Theological Truths in the Sistine Chapel

A year and a half ago I went through a difficult break-up. It was a challenging season but through it all I really felt the presence of God. One thing that really helped me through the restlessness as the months passed was delving into the mystery of my own feminine heart and learning about what … Continue reading →

In these last days of Advent..

I’ve spent a lot of time this fall holding babies. Now I had never really been a baby person; new babies used to frighten me because of their fragility and vulnerability. One of the moments when this first began to change was two years ago when I was holding another baby on Christmas eve and … Continue reading →

Does God want us to Dream?

It’s almost too hot to be writing a blog post. Almost above 30 degrees and probably hotter in my little apartment in PG. Lately, I’ve been struggling with this question. Actually, for the past three years I’ve been struggling with this question. I don’t know about you, but very few things in my life have … Continue reading →

When what God asks doesn’t make sense…

UMM, can we talk about this? Let me ask you this, WHEN HAS WHAT GOD ASKS EVER MADE SENSE?! A friend and I were giggling over this the other night… “Part the waves Moses!” “Kill your son Abraham!” “David, you little shepherd boy, go and slay that giant!” ZERO SENSE. NADA. ZIP. And somehow I … Continue reading →

The Slow Work of God

Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is … Continue reading →

The Lord is my Healer…a follow-up to our Divine Romance Series

F&PB lovers, We’re so excited to bring you our first follow-up!! You might remember several months ago right around Valentine’s we published a series called ‘Divine Romance’ about being single-hearted. Don’t be fooled by our #cheesy titles, the series gave us much to ponder and pray about. A couple weeks ago, Emily approached us wanting … Continue reading →

Introducing…the Brosary Boys

Merry May to all our faithful F+PB followers. We have been taking some unplanned time away from blogging to move cities, attend weddings, and figure out what we are meant to do with the rest of our lives (the latter is a work in progress). You, friends have no doubt been in our prayers. To … Continue reading →

  Most people, if they had really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. – C.S. Lewis Continue reading →
