How Great Her Worth: A Prayer
Today I am praying for you, my friend. For the woman who feels overwhelmed and inadequate for all she faces… For the one who is walking quietly through life wondering if she is seen, if her life leaves any ripples as she passes by… For the one standing at a crossroads, wondering if what lies…

Yearning to Belong
Jeremiah 30:22: “And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.” Yearning to belong. It is a feeling I have lived with most of my life. Never quite fitting in, never quite finding “my people.” Like me, do you sometimes find yourself wondering is anyone truly knows you and “gets” you? As…

My Life, My Faith
“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21) I do not want my faith to just be an important part of my life. I want my very life to be my faith. I want Jesus to sink into every crack and crevice, into every pore and fiber of my…

A Battle Cry of Truth
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you” (Jermiah 31:3b.) Satan has been whispering his same old lies to me lately. Well, that was awkward. Did you really think you fit in? Maybe they want what you have to offer, but they don’t really want you.…

Live Like Wildflowers
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe…

Becoming with God
“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). I am near the end of my first career, my kids are growing up and leaving home, and I think I am just now figuring out who…

Esther 4:14 Inspired
It can be hard to see our purpose, our beauty, our story in this big, demanding world. God’s words of truth and love are all-too-often drowned out by words of comparison, self-criticism, and doubt. Today my thoughts have been on you, the small, simple soul reading these words. I want you to know that you…

When Life Feels Unsettled
Matthew 7:24-27: “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.” I’ve been waking up feeling off-kilter lately. I find myself caught in a strange season. It is filled with emotional highs and lows,…

Finding God’s Truth in the Turmoil
My small, simple soul has been dealing with a big, daunting issue. An emotional issue that has been making me feel all the wrong kinds of small. Instead of small and safe in my Father’s embrace, I feel small and vulnerable. Small and not enough. I’m sure you have faced your own big life…

I Can Fix That!
1 Corinthians 1:19: For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” I am a fixer. If one of my sons needs to move, I’m online checking out apartments and local listings. If someone I love is facing a medical diagnosis, I’m looking…
