I walked into church Easter morning feeling more like a whitewashed tomb than a temple of the Living God. Have you ever felt like that? Pretty on the outside, but just full of junk on the inside? It seems like the older I get, the less I enjoy holidays. Going to church on Sunday is…
“I don’t need refreshment, I need a resurrection.” My friend said that to me in January as we were sitting at the local Starbucks. That statement hit me like a ton of bricks, and I have been reflecting on that statement still months later. The truth is that if I am honest, there are times…
I was ready to give up. My head hurts so bad. I started counting the cost. Not just the cost, but the worth. I begged the hospital staff to let me go because my family needed me. But then I got home and my head hurt so bad I couldn’t get out of bed. I…
Have you ever wondered how to trust in Jesus when everything is falling apart? Sometimes we cling to Him when the going gets tough, and sometimes we wonder how things got so far out of control. That’s where this week found me. I’ve been trying to memorize Psalm 62:2 for the past couple of days,…
I’ve been lazy before. Not the “I should probably get up and work but it’s been a busy day and I’m going to play board games with the kids instead” lazy. The sinful, procrastinating, anxiety-provoked and provoking, let-down-your-friends-and-miss-deadlines lazy. There! I said it out loud. And it wasn’t a short-lived lazy either. As a teenager,…
I am a Christian with a temper. Yes, it’s possible to love Jesus and still have anger issues. I’d like to share my journey with anger for other hot-headed Christians hiding out there. With God’s help, I’m learning to apply His anger management plan, make better choices, and live in peace. I’m here to tell…
Housekeeping is not my forte. It never has been. I have friends who are household rock stars. They are the perfect embodiment of the Proverbs 31 woman. But I am not that woman. Back when I was a single mom with just one child, I could keep up pretty good… most of the time. Let’s…
Do you ever feel like you have no one to talk to? Like no one could possibly understand what you are going through or how you are feeling? That’s where I’ve been this week. There are things going on that I simply can’t discuss on the internet. Not because I don’t want to be candid,…
“Gossip is hiding in plain sight…” Candid Guest Jessica Sims shares a life-changing lesson she learned about gossip during a recent ladies night out.
Psalm 37 tells us that if we delight in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our hearts… but what does that really mean? Sarah J Callen takes us deeper in this Candid Moment.
Jessica shares how a .25 second glitch turned into reading Scripture – a precious memory and gift she almost missed…
Valerie Riese tackles gratitude a little bit differently in this post. Have you ever struggled with self-pity? If so, you are not alone…
