Three Words That Could Be Hindering Your Faith Walk
Couple days ago I read an article on The Gospel Coalition where the author published a speech he shared with a graduating class of High School seniors. In the article, he says:
“Of all the decisions you’ll face this year, the most important one may be whether you get up and go to church on the ...
Motherhood: It’s All Grace
Hi friends,
I haven't posted for a while as the situation in India with Covid cases spiraling out of control has taken center stage in my mind and heart.
It’s been an overwhelming few weeks for all of us who live here. Covid is no longer a headline or an obscure statistic. It’s affecting our friends and ...
When Your Kids Call You Out
If there’s anyone who “tells it like it is” it’s our kids.
They don't mince words when they speak. They don’t sugarcoat things so it sounds politically correct or palatable. They don’t hide behind nice-isms and platitudes.
And, often, their honest words are exactly what we need to hear.
Let’s take a sample of some of the comments ...
God Carries You, Mama! (+ Free Phone Wallpaper)
Hey friends,
As a slightly (ahem) "older" mom, I figured I should share some nuggets of truth with the mama who is just starting her journey of parenting. Not that I have it all figured out. I don't. Not by a long shot.
But I do know one thing about this parenting gig—I need God in the ...
Not Just A Sunday School Lesson
You know one of the topics we don’t talk about too often in our churches?
Our relationship with our parents when we’re adults.
Somehow, we’ve decided that it’s a topic relevant only for Sunday School/ Children’s Church—but not really beyond that.
Maybe we feel like we’ve outgrown it. Maybe we’ve dismissed it because it dredges up painful memories ...
A Letter To My Son On His 13th Birthday
Hey kid,
It’s HERE! The “dreaded” teen years are upon us. Netflix shows and blog posts warn us nervous mamas that this phase will involve slammed doors, eye rolls, a vapid disinterest in all things family, and words that range from fluent sarcasm to pure venom.
But somehow—call me naïve—I don’t think it’s going to play out ...
When You Don’t Know Which Way To Turn
Three men walk into a desert and get lost for seven days.
Sounds like the start of a cheesy joke?
Well, there’s no punchline—it’s actually the beginning of an interesting narrative in the book of 2 Kings.
The three men were, in fact, kings. (Not to be confused with the magi who visited baby Jesus, although I’m not ...
An Old-Timey Love Story
It was back in 1974 when they tied the knot. Well, to be specific: February 14th, 1974.
Yup, Valentine’s Day.
But the two of them were entirely oblivious of the fact. Completely clueless about Cupid and his antics.
In their defense, the Hallmark-holiday concept hadn’t quite made its way to India back then.
She, a Kindergarten teacher, all of ...
Honor Your Parents??? (YouVersion Devotional)
What does honoring parents look like when we’re adults? Is it even possible in our fragmented world? How does God expect us to honor our parents when they may have hurt us and where, sometimes, distance seems a wiser and less complicated option?
Clearly, most of us carry tons of emotional baggage when it comes to ...
