Mama, Can We Be ‘Slow To Anger’?
You’ve heard of art museums and natural history museums. But, here’s something you likely haven’t come across before: The Relieve Stress Museum.
(If you’re over a certain age, you’re wondering, “What in the world will they think of next?!”)
Located in Shanghai, China, the museum is fitted with what they call “boom rooms” where people deal with ...
Are You Struggling to Read The Word? (Part 2 – Five Practical Tips)
“Come.”
The word jumped out at me from Isaiah 55 as I read the Bible late one night.
I’d rushed through a jump-from-one-activity-to-another kind of day. (I was about to add, “like a headless chicken,” but that image is particularly gruesome, so let’s just say I 'fluttered' around). I’d postponed my time alone with God and I’d ...
Are You Struggling to Read the Word? Part 1
The other day, a reader asked me about how I managed to stay passionate about the Word of God and focus on Scripture.
It got me thinking because while reading the Word is part of my daily rhythm now, it hasn’t always been the case.
There have been long seasons where dust gathered on my Bible and ...
When You’re Distracted In Prayer
It was a remarkably perfect start to my morning. My coffee was strong and my workout was on point. My kids were (finally) in school after Omicron. And I was set to spend uninterrupted time with God. No offspring bounding in with complaints of boredom, no chores that needed my immediate attention. Even the notoriously ...
This Is Love – Six Days Of Growing In Intimacy With God
As I listen to the voices of Christians around me, I hear a hunger. A hunger for more of God. A hunger for a closer walk with Him. A hunger for deeper intimacy with Him.
And that same cry echoes in my heart as well.
Here's the thing: We're created with that hunger for God. It's sometimes ...
When You Have to “Go Through It”
“We can’t go over it,
We can’t go under it,
Oh no!
We got to go through it.”
You may recognize those words from the beloved children’s book, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.
I remember animatedly reading the book to my kids when they were little, complete with impressive (if I say so myself) sound effects. In the book, ...
When Your New Year Goals Begin to Crumble
Last night, I brought cake up to my bed at 10:15 pm because, hey, those leftover Christmas goodies aren’t just going to eat themselves up, are they? Someone had to clean out the fridge. So I volunteered myself. It was in the line of duty.
The night before the unused potato chips from our New Year’s ...
A Christmas Prayer For You
As we gather with friends and family for Christmas, I want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for reading the words God lays on my heart and for blessing me with your words of encouragement and prayers for my family.
Christmas this year is going to be especially hard for us as ...
When the Holidays are Hard
Did you ever make a wish list for Santa when you were little?
Growing up in south India in the eighties and early nineties meant I most definitely didn’t mail any letters to the North Pole.
In fact, gifts weren’t really a big feature of our Christmas celebration.
And, no, that wasn’t because I was some saintly kid ...
