A “Little” Insight Into ‘Indescribable’
A few years ago, I was super amped to go to a Chris Tomlin concert with my family. After an energetic rendition of “God’s Great Dance Floor,” there was a short talk by Louie Giglio. I didn’t know who he was at that time, but I remember he spoke about the stars and galaxies and ...
Why It’s Not Enough To Be Brutally Honest Before God
“Confide in God. Share your deepest anxieties with Him.”
I’ve heard similar sentiments throughout my faith life. And I completely subscribe to the idea that I don’t need to pretty things up before coming to Him.
Many, many times, I’ve approached God a blubbering, snotty mess, barely able to form coherent sentences. I rest in the fact ...
Finding Rest In A Busy World
There’s no getting around the fact that we live in an always-spinning world. We yearn for quietness in our souls – but, often, that deep rest seems out of our reach. Or is it? In the next few days, let’s spend a few minutes peeking into the home of Mary and Martha in Bethany. Two ...
Girl On A Roller Coaster
Fourteen-year-old girls are supposed to be sassy. They’re supposed to roll their eyes at you and slam doors and lose themselves in a world of text messages and teenage drama.
They aren’t supposed to be the subjects of blogposts about inspiring individuals.
But this kid? This one is different.
She’s a teenager who has nothing but gentle words ...
What If No One’s Watching?
Shared my first ever message at church on Mother's Day. I know.. who would've thunk?
I usually love hiding behind a screen and my writing, so this was definitely out of my comfort zone.
Essentially, I used the story of Jesus visiting the home of Martha and Mary to ask whether we are striving for God's love ...
The Joy of Interruption
A few weeks ago, while enjoying a relatively quiet house, thinking of article topics to wax eloquent on, I chanced upon the idea of “joyful interruptions.”
I started jotting down ideas, making notes on the topic, and researching Bible verses and quotes.
I had a full day ahead of me packed with writing assignments, chores, meal planning, ...
Teaching Your Child To Embrace The Ordinary
A few days ago, I asked my 10-year-old son what would make him infinitely happy. His response melted my heart. “A pencil. A pencil and a paper,” he said after a moment of thought.
My little guy loves losing himself in the world of art. He spends his evenings sketching minions and gnomes and Godzilla and ...
From the Inside Out: Changing Body Image To Fit Our True Identity
Every morning, I step on the weighing scale in my bathroom. Usually, I’m disappointed: the scale is supremely stubborn. It refuses to budge. On other days, I feel a sense of achievement: I’m 500 gms lighter and my self-confidence soars. I want to belt out some Mariah Cary, “And then a hero comes along, with ...
