You May Be Unqualified, But…
Have you ever walked into a social gathering or work meeting where you’ve felt incredibly intimidated? I know I have. More times than I’d like to admit.
I have looked around the room and thought to myself: What in the world am I doing here? Everyone else is dressed as if they stepped off a magazine ...
Are You Ready For The Rest Of The Year?
We’re at the halfway point of 2023. If you’re like me, you’re wondering, “How in the world did the year zip by so quickly??!” It seems like the days and weeks have colluded to whiz past us, leaving us in a tizzy.
But before we start the second half of the year, can we just catch ...
When You’ve Messed Up “Too Much”
The other day, I dropped a supposedly “unbreakable” plate by accident (Or maybe it was genetics? I seem to have a congenital ‘butter fingers’ problem). Of course, it shattered into a gazillion pieces, leaving tiny shards of ceramic all over my kitchen floor. Turns out even the triple-compressed glass from a “trusted” and “timeless” brand ...
This Aspect of Prayer May Be Surprising
Imagine a situation where you’re entirely out of food at home. That scenario is tough for me to conjure up because usually, my pantry topples over with towers of unnecessary snacks. But maybe you’ve come back from a long vacation and you had cleaned out the kitchen before you left. Of course, you’re not in ...
What If You Trusted God Like This?
The wind blew back my hair as I plunged down the waterfall. It was a steep drop, plummeting down thousands of feet. In that quick moment, I caught sight of a flash of purple— a flock of birds flew past me. Just when I thought I was done for, I swooped back up and glided ...
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 ...
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
“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 ...
