My prayer life hasn’t been that stellar lately. Non-existent might be a better word for it. So today, I wanted to offer you some advice: Don’t stop praying… you know, like I did. My life has been pretty chaotic lately. From the passing of my grandmother, to the graduation of my son, it seems like…
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10 Psalm 46:10 is one of those verses most Christians know by heart. It’s a good coffee cup verse, one that goes on t-shirts and tumblers. However, it’s also one that most…
I wanted to take a moment today to boast in my weakness. Okay, that’s a lie. I really didn’t want to take a moment today to boast in my weakness. Candidly Christian is all about sharing our struggles in a way that points to Jesus. It’s literally about boasting in our weaknesses because when we…
When was the last time you felt frazzled? That’s where I’m at right now. I have a decent amount of things I should be doing, but one thing went wrong and it left me feeling frazzled. Which eats up my brainpower and keeps me from focusing on anything else. Have you ever been there? Truth…
As I was reading my Bible this morning I was in Matthew reading the Sermon on the Mount. The phrase, “tomorrow will worry about itself” stopped me in my tracks because I have definitely been worrying about tomorrow. I’ve been stressing myself out over something that’s going to happen on Friday this week. There’s nothing…
Do you ever feel melancholy? Google defines melancholy this way, “a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause.” As someone who struggles with depression, I feel melancholy a lot. And that’s where today found me. I felt sad and lethargic for no apparent reason. This should be a joyful time in my life. My mom…
I’m a mess. Between my oldest son leaving for the army and his younger brother graduating high school, it seems like all I do is cry. Life transitions are hard. Like, really hard. Whether you have a graduate or are starting a new job, life transitions impact your life in more ways than one. No…
Depression and faith… can they even go together? Are you really a Christian if the joy of the Lord that’s supposed to fill your heart and soul is crowded out by feelings of dread and despair? My answer is yes. Yes, depression and faith can go together. Yes, you can be a Christian woman and…
Have you ever had a bunch of stuff go wrong, all at the same time, and wondered why God let it happen? When things go wrong, you may even get angry at God. When Things Go Wrong… Like for instance, my grandma was diagnosed with leukemia in February. We decided to make the trip to…
I walked into the new year full of hopes and dreams. I had big goals and plans for how I would accomplish them. And then the new year started. Nothing went according to my best laid plan. First, a sweet friend had a stroke, and I ended up taking over for her at work. Now,…
Today is my birthday. Every year on my birthday I look back on my life. I reflect on where I’ve been and where I am. This year, I’m finding that harder than normal (this is my third blog post attempt). I think it’s because this year it isn’t about me. The person I am this…
I missed my step goal today. Two days after I made my resolution to get 5K steps each day I landed in bed with 4,347. I woke up that day with a migraine, so I started off behind. By the time my head stopped hurting I was playing catchup while trying not to overdue it…
