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 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 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!)

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
“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.”
Clearly, Black Friday sales seem to be deeply ingrained in my daughter’s teenage psyche. She has ...
