Christian living blog posts written by and for today’s Christian women.
Lately, I’ve been captivated by Psalm 23. It’s a very short and well-known chapter, but it’s brought me encouragement and joy over the past few weeks. I have been especially inspired and challenged by the first verse of this Psalm, and I hope you are too! “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” Psalm…
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…
In life perspective is key. I can attest to being in situations in life that I truly did not know my way out of. Long story short, I recently relocated to Montreal Quebec and found myself without employment or stable housing. If I solely looked at the physical, I would have already given up due…
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…
Every day we get up not knowing what the day will bring. However, life can turn on a dime, and you need a good support system when it does. Your community is what surrounds you in the good and bad times. The Gift of the Community Recently, I was reminded of the gift community gives…
As a little girl, I always dreamed of being a hard working woman. I played with my dolls and stuffed animals, but they weren’t my children like how my seven year old daughter plays. They were my students. I would set up my classroom in the dining room right in front of the bookshelf that…
This week I witnessed a miracle. Our second grandchild was born last Sunday, a little girl. She’s as beautiful as her older sister, who was born only a year ago now. God is in the miracle business, just like he was back in Enoch’s day, and Noah’s day, and Moses’, and King David’s, and Hannah’s,…
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…
“Love your enemies.”-Matthew 5:44(NIV) Clearly, Jesus was not talking about me. His audience must have been the “thousands of years ago brutal mob who was known to occasionally throw stones and needed some serious behavioral modification.” Not me. I don’t have any enemies! At least, I don’t think so… I’m a suburban housewife with four…
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…
Like the clothes we drape over our bed railing, needing to be put away or dealt with, sometimes there are things in our lives we’ve allowed to hang around far too long. Negative thought patterns, old perceptions and wounds, even certain relationships that have worn out their welcome need to be hung up or tossed out. We can do it through the grace of Jesus.
