Jesus, Anchor of My Soul

Our identity, our purpose, our strength is in Christ. It's easy to say that, but you quickly find out what you've been placing your security in when crisis hits. When those feeble, temporary foundations come crumbling down. When what you've been pulling your strength from suddenly loses its anchoring. And you'll probably find - in...

Little Lessons | Waiting

Waiting...isn't that just one of the hardest things? To simply wait, unable to act, unable to control, unable to fix the problem. Wait. There's fear. There's helplessness. There's wondering and worrying. Scenarios cross your mind of what might happen. Anxiety grips your heart as you wonder how you will move forward from here. I'll admit...

Little Lessons | When Love Hurts

I am a worrier. I don't wear that as a badge of honor, but rather like a scar. Or perhaps its more like a scab - one of those that you pick at over and over until it bleeds and it never really heals. As a mom I worry. As a wife I worry. As...

Life - even the life of a Christiam - is not guaranteed to be struggle free. I imagine we all know that, and yet what is our reaction when that hard thing happens? There may come a time in your life where you cannot fathom that everything will be okay. You're overwhelmed. You're afraid. And...

Wishing Doesn’t Bring Change

My heart...it just hurts. So much death. So much strife. Everywhere I look anymore, it seems there is another story. A police officer killed in the line of duty. A child fighting for their life. A family who lost someone to suicide. A little girl who had been kidnapped. . My heart aches! Why?! Why...

I’m Not Okay, Now What?

In last week's post, we discussed how It's Okay Not To Be Okay. How you don't have to be someone's idea of "better" - not right now. Don't add the stress of measuring up to the weight you already feel. But we also are not going to allow ourselves to stay "not okay." And that...

It’s Okay If You’re Not Ok

You feel...heavy. Alone. Buried. Afraid. Whether it's a disease, a disorder, a condition, or simply a bad day - many of us have had days where we are just not okay. And you know what? That's okay. I can remember times where I literally felt so lost and alone. Did anyone really understand? I didn't...
