Sharing God’s Comfort, Grace & Truth

Valerie Riese · May 28, 2021 · 1 Comment

Grace and Truth Link Up

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV

May is mental health month, so over the past few weeks I’ve seen a lot of athletes talking about their mental health struggles as my husband watches boxing or mixed martial arts. Men who keep punching even when blood drips from their eyes are in tears, explaining why their life’s toughest battles are fought not in the ring, but in their mind.

I’ve had the most amazing week.

Did I have a migraine every day? Why, yes. Yes I did.

So what made my week so amazing?

I’m so glad you asked!!!

Grace & Truth For What Never Defines You

Valerie Riese · May 14, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Grace and Truth Link Up

A few years ago I went to a women’s retreat at church that talked about the masks we wear as we walk through life. We cover up how we really feel, and who we really are to put on the facade we think others want to see so we’ll be accepted. I had no idea how badly I needed this message until the end.

Grace & Truth For Life Changes

Heather Hart · May 7, 2021 · 1 Comment

Grace and Truth Link Up

So… my oldest son graduates from high school this month.

To be completely candid, I’m a mess.

They finally found something that is helping my migraines, (which is fantastic! – Yay, God!) However, we’ve realized that my head has been in so much pain over the past few years, I was completely numb to everything else.

So here I am, feeling all the feelings I haven’t been, attending scholarship ceremonies, the final state meet of… not just the year, but their lives. And I’m an emotional wreck.

Grace & Truth When You Need It Most

Heather Hart · April 30, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Before you do anything,
    put your trust totally in God and not in yourself.
    Then every plan you make will succeed.

Proverbs 16:3 TPT

After having a migraine every day for three and a half years, I’ve finally gotten some relief. My head still hurts every day, but nothing like it use to be… well, most days that is.

My problem is that I’m feeling so much better, I want to complete everything I haven’t been able to do. So I’m trying to do 3.5 years of work in a month.

Let’s just say, it’s not going well.

Prayer, Grace & Truth

Valerie Riese · April 23, 2021 · 4 Comments

It’s Heather’s week to do Gace & truth today, but I’m stepping in because she’s swamped. And I’m able to step in because I took off work today. She’s swamped, and I took off for the same reason: to write a book.

Pressure, Grace & Truth

Valerie Riese · April 16, 2021 · 3 Comments

Intracranial hypertension is a rare brain disease characterized by too much fluid pressure inside the brain. It’s the industrial vice grip my Dad has on the farm, only clamped onto my brain – not my skull – my brain, so the pressure feels like my eyes might just pop out. 

It’s the pressure that brought me to the lowest point in my life, the place where I even considered ending it altogether.

Faith is Not a Feeling (& Our Grace and Truth Link-Up)

Heather Hart · April 9, 2021 · 1 Comment

Faith is not a feeling.

It isn’t.

The definition of faith is: “complete trust or confidence in someone or something.”

Pigeons, Grace & Truth

Valerie Riese · April 2, 2021 · 2 Comments

When I’m swirling in a perfect storm of anger and hurt, all I want to do is run away where no one will know to cry and scream as loud as I can until I have no tears or voice left.

I’ve actually done it more than once. I fled to my car, drove to a deserted field, and returned home with a headache and a sore throat. And the none the better for my little tantrum.

Grace and Truth at the Feet of Jesus

Heather Hart · March 26, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Mary was at it again.

Following Jesus where she didn’t belong.

Once, she had even left her sister to do everything while she simply sat at the feet of Jesus.

Now, here she was–again–at the feet of Jesus while Martha served. But this time she wasn’t content to just sit. She was pouring out her heart through tears, using them, her hair, and some of the special oil she had been saving, to wash our Master’s feet.
