“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…
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…
We’re only a few months into the new year and already the world has been shaken so deeply. There have been more than 67 US shootings at the time I’m writing this that have left survivors and family members traumatized. Earthquakes that have completely shattered communities and families. And all of this has been going…
Life’s Uncertainties “Did you apply for the job we talked about?” I text my son at college. This is not the first time we’ve had this “conversation.” He’s in his second semester and still hasn’t found a job, for reasons that elude me. I pray fervently for a job for him – any job. Or…
Loneliness. Even hearing the word is hard. It’s just not a very nice word. It doesn’t make youfeel good when you hear it. It doesn’t feel good experiencing it. I wanted to talk about thisbecause, frankly, it’s not talked about very much. Personally, I think loneliness is an epidemic. I think it’s running through the…
It took a quite a few years of being a Christian to realize that I was living out of a label the enemy had planted in my head. Orphan. Which to me, this meant I was someone who was a social outcast, unrelatable, unlovable, and not worthy of a family in this life. This all…
Every one of us has cares. We have them in all ways and types. We carry these cares in our minds, souls, and emotions. We have the cares of worry, finances, health, the future, the past, our pain, friends, jobs, careers, life in general and much, much more. I don’t know about you but sometimes…
I was born with retinoblastoma. So was my son. It’s a rare type of cancer where tumors grow on the retina of your eye. If it’s left untreated, the tumors can travel down the optic nerve into the brain, causing death. Thus, we both lost our right eyes before our first birthdays and have prosthetics….
