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 ...
Don’t Let This Stop You
“When I first saw you walk on stage I thought to myself, “I don’t think this lady can teach me very much,”" she said.
Her words threw me for a loop, especially since this was the first time we were meeting. Our church service had just wrapped up and she had come up to me to ...
Where Sorrow and Love Flow Mingled Down
My 13-year-old daughter and I were chatting about Sunday service at our church when she commented, “You know, mama, when the speaker asked the congregation what important day was coming up, I almost said, “Black Friday” instead of “Good Friday.”

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 ...
Are You Doing This Enough?
“I like you. You are… very good person,” she says as we walk together around our apartment building.

Naziha (name changed) and I sometimes meet each ...
How Jesus Upends The Routine Narrative
As someone who is a teensy bit too active on Instagram (Okay, fine, "active" could be a euphemism for "addicted"), I follow accounts that offer tips on how to grow one’s platform. The gurus behind these accounts give their followers the inside scoop on cracking the nebulous algorithm, the ideal frequency for one’s posts, trending ...
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 ...
