I didn’t choose a word for this year, but that doesn’t mean I’m anti-one word people, or boycotting the one word movement. In fact, the featured post I chose for today is all about one woman and her one word. So just what is…
Do you know what it feels like to completely and utterly hate yourself? Have you ever loathed yourself so much that you could not even look at your face in the mirror? Maybe you had those moments of feeling like you were not valued…
It was the first week of January and I was at the gym crushin’ the Christian life. I mean, I was totally rocking this new year. I had hit my FitBit goal every single day so far. Got my Bible reading in. And I…
We all have a past. I’ll be honest, I’m not proud of everything I did growing up. And I’ll go out on a limb and say you probably aren’t either. I was the “good kid.” Breaking rules and disobeying didn’t even occure to me.…
I had never been in a building when it was put on lockdown… until recently. Although the time from lockdown to all clear was brief (and without incident), it was long enough to be frightening. As we waited, my co-workers and I reviewed the…
I’m currently sitting in a coffee shop, during my lunch break, asking the Holy Spirit what I should write about. And, honestly, I have no idea. I’ve been going and going and going and haven’t had the time to think much about writing or…
Even though we know how great God is, we forget. It becomes second nature. Nothing more than common knowledge. But in truth, it is so much more.…
Happy New Year! To all those who made New Year’s Resolutions, I hope they are going well. Personally, I decided not to make any resolutions this year because honestly, I needed to do something deeper and more meaningful than to say I was going to lose weight or…
Do you struggle with anxiety? Sherry does. It's not that she struggles with feeling anxiety. It's that she struggles with giving into it and letting it run amuck...…
New Year's Resolutions and life goals are great, but the most important goal any of us can have is becoming more like Jesus. Maree shares more in our featured post for this week with both grace and truth. I definitely recommend hopping over and…
Charlie wasn’t listening again. It has seemed to be a huge pattern. So, while lying in bed about to read him a book I decided to ask him what would make him a better listener. Jesus. He said. Yeah (I said in a breath…
It’s candid and it’s Christian. It’s Candidly Christian TV. In John 16:33 Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” The truth is,…
Well… it’s January. Many of us started a new Bible reading plan or Bible study this year. We always start the year off with good intentions, don’t we? I’ll be completely honest though, with my family home for the holidays, I didn’t even get…
On November 30th, Alaska was hit by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake just a few miles away from where my family lives. Everyone has their story – it’s been therapeutic to trade anecdotes with others about where we were, how we felt, and to recount…
Years ago the trend began. Every year people are encouraged to pick one word for the new year. One word to guide them through the coming year. One word that describes the type of year they want to have, or a personality trait they…
As the year draws to a close I look back on all the things left undone. Blog posts left unwritten. Cards left unsent. Good intentions abandoned as time ticked by. To be honest, this is where I find myself every year at this time.…
