How Do I Overcome Anxiety? Part 2 of 4

Quick question. Don't think too long before you answer this. If you wanted help with a particular problem, where would you first go? I’ll admit: for me, it’s Google. (Yeah, I know, the right answer is "God" but I am working on that. Or, more specifically, He's working on me on that!) Back in the day, if ...

How Do I Overcome Anxiety – Part 1 of 4

We had a few friends over for dinner the other day. Admittedly, we are privileged to call some of them “friends” because they are considerably cooler—and younger—than my husband and me. Given that we had a somewhat captive audience we decided to bore them with old pictures of ourselves. As my hubbers showed them pictures ...

What’s Your OOTD??

For those of us unfamiliar with fashion blogging or Instagram influencers who share style tips, let me get straight to it: #OOTD is an abbreviation for “Outfit of the Day.” While I have seen that hashtag on social media, I still needed to look it up for this article as fashion is definitely not my ...

Make Your Big Decisions Here

You know what puts things into sharp focus? Death. That’s what. Clearly, I’m not talking about one’s own passing. Because that would make the phrase “sharp focus” a somewhat inert point. I’m referring instead to the brevity of life which brings our priorities into perspective. In the last week, I attended two funerals, one online and ...

Don’t Let This Stop You

As We Enter Holy Week

At the start of the year I whispered a prayer: "God, I want to press on to take hold of that for which You took hold of me." My 'word for 2023' was not a word but a phrase—"press on" I didn’t want 2023 to pass by in a blur of busyness or the lull of ...

Reclaim The Art Of Slowing Down

Four zucchinis lounge on my kitchen counter awaiting their fate. Soon, they will be peeled, shredded, and folded into a batter of flour, sugar, oil, and eggs along with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of vanilla. Their sacrifice will be worth it: The aroma of freshly-baked zucchini bread will waft through my house carrying ...

When You’re Unsure About How To Pray

“I have been praying for God to do His will in your situation.” Her words should have brought me comfort. After all, she was praying for me. And praying for God’s will to unfold in my situation. Instead, the words irritated me. I had been praying with all my heart and soul for a breakthrough in my situation. ...

The Time For Revival Is Now

As the world turns the spotlight on the revival taking place at Asbury University, I too am excited. If you happen to have missed the news, on February 8th students of Asbury University in Kentucky gathered for their Wednesday chapel service. But instead of filing out at the end of the service, the students lingered on ...
