Have you ever had a season when you struggled to summon the strength to get out of bed each morning? Perhaps you are in such a season now. I wrote this post to encourage and help you. And I also have a favor to…
Between a massive migraine and a stomach bug, I don’t have much of an introduction for this week’s featured post……
Several years ago we were at the beginning of a long walk through health-related issues with a loved one. It was recommended that we visit the Mayo Clinic, so we made the appointment and waited three months until the scheduled date. In the meantime,…
Today on our blog, Sarah Callen is talking about getting uncomfortable with emotions. She shares her story and some encouragement for others. “You view things clinically so you don’t have to feel.” Excuse you? I tried to summon a rebuttal or a reaction, but…
If you’ve read this blog for long, you know that I love the grace the Gospel offers. And that I’m no fan of the boot-strap Gospel. Nothing in me wants encourage others (or myself) to try-harder or just do-better. Everything in me clings to…
Spring is upon us and in full bloom. With spring comes hope and renewal, a brand new season filled with new opportunities. Outside my living room window, there is a stunning double-blossomed cherry tree full of gorgeous pink blooms. The tree is exceptionally beautiful…
Mother’s Day is just around the corner. If your children are still little, you have probably been getting handwritten notes and crafts they created at school. Maybe some flowers or cards. On the bulletin board next to my desk I have a Mother’s Day…

I have been totally, and completely, overwhelmed this week. I started a new organization system at the end of last month that helped me feel like I got a handle on things… so what did I do? I took on more work. Now I…
I have a confession. It is a confession of sin. And it isn’t the worst one, it is pretty little, but still sin. The other day I was trying to save time, and I took a left out of a parking lot when there…
Have you ever felt afraid to be yourself? You probably didn’t think of it that way, but you just act a certain way around certain people. You know, because it’s more acceptable. You want to fit in……
Ready? Tough question for you. What part of the Bible don’t you like? Go on say it. I can’t hear you. Speak it, there is no one to judge you. What specifically don’t you like about the Word of God? I know, hard question.…
Good Friday is upon us once again. I don’t know how this season finds you… if you have steeped yourself in Jesus the past 40 days and are feeling spiritually ready for all that surrounds this amazing celebration of our Savior or not. But…
I’ve been sick now for a few days. The household is backing up. You know, laundry… dishes… clean surfaces. Don’t get me wrong, my husband and kids have been pitching in. It’s just not the same. Sick enough to call out from work, I’m…
I have been down with a pretty bad migraine this week, so I hope you’ll forgive the weak intro. This week’s feature is Christine’s post, “Just Walk One More Day.“…
