Grace and Truth Link-Up

Have you heard about The Ultimate Christian Living Bundle?

Instead of featuring a post this week, I wanted to take a moment to share this amazing resource with you. (And not just because I’m an affiliate and our eBook Candid Conversations is included.)

This bundle is jampacked with digital resources to help you grow in your faith, strengthen your marriage and relationships, and find peace in your everyday life.

God’s Pruning, Grace & Truth

Valerie Riese · March 12, 2021 · 2 Comments

Grace & Truth

My home has few plants because I’m notorious for killing all things green. Since I’m not much of a gardener, I always thought “pruning” was about getting rid of weeds and dead vegetation. So when I study scriptures about how God prunes us so we can bear fruit, I understand that He’s yanking out my temper and throwing away my pride.

Disappointment, Grace & Truth

Grace and Truth Link-Up

My husband’s parents have been married for over 50 years. I am a child of divorce, so when I got engaged, I couldn’t wait to hear my future mother-in-law’s secret to a lasting marriage. 

Her answer surprised me. It wasn’t communication, forgiveness, or even compromise. Her secret to marriage in 2 words was this:

Grace & Truth: A Weekly Christian Link-Up

When my kids were little, I was a stay-at-home-mom. I had four kids, ranging from infants to five years old.

Both of my sons were in school. My oldest being in Kindergarten, and my three-year-old in preschool. So that left me home alone with our twin daughters.

While I am an introvert, I missed having adult communication.

One of my daughters didn’t sleep for more than an hour at a time until she was five.

I was exhausted to say the least.

Grace & Truth For When The Hurt Is Just Too Painful

Valerie Riese · February 19, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Grace & Truth: A Weekly Christian Link-Up

I’ve been struggling with a lot of built-up hurt and resentment. So many years and experiences lost because of circumstances and other’s control over me when I was too vulnerable to stand up for myself. I need to let go, to move on, but the loss is so great; the hurt is just too painful to process.

Grace & Truth for Intercessory Prayer

Heather Hart · February 12, 2021 · 6 Comments

Grace & Truth: A Weekly Christian Link-Up

Several years ago, a friend called and asked if I would be an intercessory prayer for her. She was in a rough situation and needed to know she had Christians backing her up in prayer.

She followed up her request with an admonition that intercessory prayer was dangerous. Satan would take it personally, and it wouldn’t be an easy task. In addition to praying for her, I would need to pray for my family and myself. She wasn’t looking for people to add her name to a list, she needed serious prayer.

The weight of what she was asking wasn’t lost on me. And I’ll be really honest, part of me wanted to say no. I already struggled with chronic migraines, I didn’t want them to get worse. However, God had already been preparing me for this question. I saw the foreshadowing of it in my life, and after prayer, I agreed.

Candid confession: I am not a prayer warrior.

Designed To Reflect God’s Glory, Grace & Truth

Grace & Truth: A Weekly Christian Link-Up

I have a special treat for you today. I chose a poem instead of a post. Honestly, I’m not really one for poetry, but this one was different. Not only was it written in 5 minutes flat, but it echoes a unique message I first learned from a piece of classic literature.

What If You Rest in Jesus, Grace & Truth

Valerie Riese · January 29, 2021 · 2 Comments

Grace & Truth

“Probably benign” the letter said. And yes—it was in bold font—as though the physician wanted to be certain I didn’t miss the uncertainty in my ultrasound results. The letter continued, “Further evaluation is needed in 6 months to monitor…” 

I scolded the innocent messenger, “That’s wonderful! Thank you for that!”

Bible Reading Plans, Grace & Truth

Valerie Riese · January 22, 2021 · 2 Comments

Grace & Truth

Have you signed up for your Bible-reading plan for 2021? Nearly every ministry organization offers a ready-made plan all wrapped up with goodies like scripture cards, study groups, printables, and journaling prompts. With so many options, you’ll certainly find something you like. 

So how are you planning to get from Genesis to Revelation in 2021? 

On December 30, 2019, I committed to reading the Bible in a year. As I write, it’s Monday, January 19, 2021, and I hope to start the Book of Acts this week.

Grace & Truth for Your Goals

Heather Hart · January 15, 2021 · 2 Comments

Grace & Truth

If you know me, you most likely know that I’m not big on New Years’ Resolutions. I don’t pick a word for the year. However, I do usually have some sort of dream or goal for the year ahead. It might be something like consistently sending out a devotional to my email list. Or it could be something like taking less medicine for my migraines.

You can laugh. I’ve already failed at both of them. However, the thing about goals is that just because you stumble, doesn’t mean you give up.

I might have taken more medicine last week than I wanted to (sometimes when your head hurts, you just want it to go away), and my newsletter might have went out on Tuesday instead of Monday, but that doesn’t mean those things will happen every week.
