When The Right Answers Are Not Enough
In the last few weeks, I met several people whose lives speak a story of brokenness.
There’s a lady who works at a salon. Her makeup is on point. But her eyes betray her pain. She has left her two daughters with their grandmother in another state in the North East of India to work in ...
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 ...
When Your Life Feels “Too Small”
Have you ever been encouraged to “dream big?” Have you been told that you “have what it takes” to make an impact? Have you been cheered on with the message that you can “be anything” you want to be?
Maybe there was some Christianese attached to those statements. Perhaps you were spurred on to dream “God-sized ...
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 ...
How Do I Overcome Anxiety? Part 4 of 4
Earlier this week, one of my heroes of the faith, Tim Keller, went home to be with Jesus.
As I write this post about anxiety to wrap up our four-part series on the topic, it is only befitting to quote this man who fought the good fight with grace and wisdom.
Here is one of Dr. Keller's ...
How Do I Overcome Anxiety? Part 3 of 4
In last week's installment of the four-part series on anxiety, we talked about getting rid of the "I."
Today, we're going to shift our perspective away from us.
The University of California at Berkley conducted a study where some of the subjects were shown pictures of awe-inspiring, magnificent things like the Grand Canyon or the Taj Mahal. ...
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 ...
