I’m making this issue of my newsletter public, as I pray it will serve any who read it. If you want to subscribe, scroll to the end of this article. You’ll receive a link and password to access back issues. What an interesting week it’s been. I woke up Saturday morning unsure of how to…
I wonder how often you’ve experienced a strong emotion rise up in you, compelling you to speak out about something you’ve just heard or read? Something has been said (or written) that just gets to us, and we feel that we must say something about it. Now. Yes, something wrong or off may have been…
Have you struggled to know the place that books, podcasts, conferences, online courses, blogs, and other online resources should have in your life? Sometimes it can feel confusing as to how much influence we should allow in our lives from outside of our local church. And so, it’s easy to pit one against the other,…
Finally, a book stack from what I read last year. These were amongst my favorites (I’m still working on The Body Keeps the Score). I tend to buy non-fiction, and borrow fiction from the library. I hit a sad slump when I picked up a few fiction books from the library that I had to…
Is your soul in need of rest but you aren’t sure how to get to that place? I wonder if you made goals for 2020. We’re at the end of January, when the resistance of everyday life may cause us to start losing steam. Are you discouraged? Do you see other women on IG crushing…
Have you noticed all the pictures of books on various Instagram posts over the past few weeks? I wonder how you respond to them–is it overwhelming, annoying, or do you take a screen shot so you can add them to your book list? I wonder if you’ve thought about why we read. Why is it…
Our pastor is preaching through Ephesians, and I’ve been reminded of how valuable it is to be part of a diverse body of believers. And by diverse, I primarily mean that we don’t all look, talk, act, or live the exact same way. We have differences, in Christ. It’s a beautiful thing when lived out…
I love friendship, don’t you? Camaraderie, memories, laughter, shared heartaches and struggles. Friendship is a gift that I’m thankful the Lord created. But so often we struggle in friendship, don’t we? We want good friends, and it’s a good desire. Sometimes we struggle to find friends. And even in friendship, we experience loneliness, tension, and…
I wish I could remember the whole story, and I bet if I dig back through old journals, I’d find it. Twenty-one years later, it’s foggy. But the summer between my junior and senior year of high school, I went to FCA Leadership camp with a friend because I was compelled to start an FCA…
We live in a time of history that has confused everything about identity. We see Christians leaving the Church, recanting their faith, and believing all manner of twisted philosophies (often subtle). And, we can feel discouraged, tired, ready to throw in the towel in our own race. Life can sometimes look, feel, and *be* downright…
It’s alarming to scan the horizon of Christianity and see confusion and compromise. But seeing the effects on the next generation is even more disturbing. As women, we must take responsibility for our own spiritual lives to know Jesus and speak of Him to the next generation. I want us as Christian women to know…
I don’t generally fear many things. I’m not the mom afraid of all the things. I don’t generally panic when crisis hits. With the help of the Lord, I can usually see the fearful situations for what they are, and deal with them as they arise, with Him. I’ve even been told before that I’m…
