Waiting is hard. Sometimes, waiting on God is incredibly hard. Waiting can feel like a giant roller coaster of faith—some days it’s exciting, some days it’s terrifying, and others you want to get off the ride. Over the past few months, I’ve seen friends move out of the waiting season and into receiving their promises. Mind you,…
I was two weeks postpartum scrambling to feed my hungry daughter in the wee hours of the night. “Hey, I’m here. I know you’re hungry” I told her. She had a tendency to go from sort of hungry to starved in a matter of seconds. I picked her up as her cry became desperate. I…
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…
“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…
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…
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…
You’re a Christian but maybe you’re not and you’re reading this. It’s okay. It’s for you too. Prayer is one of the fundamental principles of your faith and of life. People pray. There are untold sermons, books and more about prayer and how to do it. But, what if your praying is just hard. What…
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.
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…
It was four days after our wedding when life threw us lemons. Everything from the soft-serve ice cream truck to the precious first look moments in the Berkeley Rose Garden to the heartfelt speeches of our family and friends, had been more than I could have imagined. We were about to board a flight to…
I walked into the new year full of hopes and dreams. I had big goals and plans for how I would accomplish them. And then the new year started. Nothing went according to my best laid plan. First, a sweet friend had a stroke, and I ended up taking over for her at work. Now,…
The word of the Lord seems pretty clear on the subject of prayer, right? We pray, God hears us, and we get answers to those prayers. Well… maybe. But what do you do when you read the word of God and you expect an answer that you need, problem fixed, or a blessing and it…
