When You Care So Much, It’s Overwhelming

February 23, 2021

Imagine this: one of your best friends is going through an incredibly difficult time. Maybe she even ends up in the hospital, and her children are all at home missing her like crazy, and she is struggling to be away from them, and her husband is trying to hold it all together. There are a lot of VIEW MORE

The Power of Showing Up

February 16, 2021

Imagine that a friend of yours is battling depression. She is in a tough place. She doesn't respond much to your messages or invitations to get together. Even when you do get together for coffee or a movie, she just stares into space and doesn't really seem to know you're there. You walk away VIEW MORE

How to Choose a Bible

February 12, 2021

First things first: any Bible is better than no Bible. ;) But I've found over the years that I connect with different versions or formats better than others. I bet you do, too. In fact, not too long ago, I got a Bible designed for creative journaling. It was in the translation that I liked and I VIEW MORE

How One Local Lady is Making a Difference

January 19, 2021

Every now and again, I see a post pop up on Facebook from a dear local lady asking for blank notecards. She takes these cards, writes notes inside, and sends them to the residents in the nursing homes. And she does this every single month. Now that I search for that post, I can't find it. But VIEW MORE

Are You Too Busy to Encourage Others?

January 11, 2021

No one ever said that encouraging others was going to be easy, even if it comes to you more naturally. In fact, sometimes it's downright challenging. And one of the biggest challenges I hear about today is, "I don't have the time to help out." While there are certainly seasons where time to serve VIEW MORE

Encouraging Others When You’re Hurting, Too

December 2, 2020

I remember a season where I was struggling with depression. In that same season, I was also serving as a small group leader. There were many times when I just didn't want to show up. I'd rather stay in my room, alone. I'd prefer to be in a quiet place. I didn't want to have to make small VIEW MORE

The Story Behind Our Job’s Tears Bead Garland

October 27, 2020

Have you ever struggled with fidgety hands while you pray? Though sitting quietly and still is good for us, it is also okay to move while praying. That's one reason taking a prayer walk can be so refreshing: we talk to God while we are walking around. It's also why I sometimes pray while VIEW MORE

When to Offer Unsolicited Help

October 12, 2020

I often hear these days that when someone is struggling, you shouldn't ask them how you can help because they don't know how to answer you. They're in shock. They're in denial. You should just let them know how and when you're going to be there and do it. Perhaps you say to your friend, "You need VIEW MORE

George Muller’s Life of Prayer

September 28, 2020

Do you have someone whose life inspires you? George Muller is one of those people for me. George Muller lived in England in the 1800s. You see, he saw the needs of the orphaned children around him and knew he had to act. Step by step, he asked God to show him what to do, and he trusted God to VIEW MORE
