Dear Kids: I Will Fail You. You’ll Learn to Forgive Me & Trust God.

May 16, 2016

Dear Kids: I Will Fail You. You’ll Learn to Forgive Me & Trust God.

I recently read a post called Dear Mom: I Needed You. You Did Not Come. I feel like this post depicts a phenomena that’s increasing over time which deals with moms shaming themselves to be better moms. If they’re not shaming themselves, then they are allowing others to shame them. When I read this post, […]

Eyes to See

Eyes to See

How many of us have the desire to be known and seen? Despite our own words, or the masks we may portray, we want someone to see the real us. One of my favorite truths about God is that He sees me. He sees everything about me, even the darkness of sin that I struggle […]

Needing the Courage of Joshua

Needing the Courage of Joshua

What do I do? What do I say? How can I correct this twisted view of Jesus to portray the truth of the gospel? These thoughts were colliding in my head as I sat and listened to a speaker go way off course in her presentation and basically skewed the truth about Jesus and about […]

When You Doubt Your Acceptance {& Link-Up}

The world screams comparisons & failures into our ears and hearts while we desperately struggle with the weight of our humanity & acceptance. Yet, a whisper cries from the deep and we can easily miss it, not recognizing the voice from where it came or recognizing it but disregarding it. Unless we are abiding in […]

Set Free: From Works-Based Faith to Jesus

Last year I became aware that a sweet friend of mine, and very popular blogger engaging women, actually believed in a heretical doctrine – one that rooted her success as a Christian on her good works and following extra-biblical “wisdom”.  I was so burdened for her that I engaged in deeper conversation, wanting to completely […]

The Fragrance of Salvation {STC}

The Fragrance of Salvation {STC}

Salvation is the Lord’s work in us, yet walking with Him ought to be a fragrance to others. What is the testimony of your life? Shortly before Jesus died, we see that Mary anointed him with oil. Not just any oil, but highly valuable and expensive oil used a perfume. Upon Jesus’ death, he was […]

The Humility in Receiving

The Humility in Receiving

Here’s a preview of what I’ve written over at Satisfaction Through Christ today. It’s been a blessing of a lesson and one that I think you’ll relate with. There are givers, and there are takers.

Living Between Sin and Glory

Living Between Sin and Glory

“It’s just a drawing!” “We already have this!” “What?! Oh.” She made these exclamations while tossing some of her birthdays gifts to the floor and disregarding the love, care and thoughtfulness that her family and friends extended to her. They loved her and wanted to give her gifts they thought she would enjoy. Instead she […]
