Wait For It: Persevere When You Want To Quit

September 19, 2018

I snuck into the bathroom as though my presence might scare off the dream. There it sat on the counter, the thin piece of pink and white plastic that had let me down month after month. It took only the quickest glance to recognize the stark white disappointment of another negative result. It’s been one year, one miscarriage and one chemical pregnancy, and for each of those clusters of days in ... View Post

HOW TO BLESS OTHERS EVEN WHEN YOU’RE BROKEN

August 16, 2018

Recently I shared how we are able to minister to others even when we’re struggling. Ministry comingles with our testimony, a constant public humming of how God has loved us, filled us with grace, lifted us, and carried us through our brokenness, and sometimes that public proclamation comes even as we hurt, even as we question, even as life hurls projectiles at us and we’re scrambling for Jesus ...

HOW YOU CAN MINISTER TO OTHERS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE STRUGGLING

July 31, 2018

There have been many days in the last year that I’ve felt wholly unworthy of a ministry. Whether I was scared, confused, offended, hurt, bewildered, or just plain broken, I questioned my value to God’s kingdom. Why have you chosen me for anything, God?More than once I’ve been just a girl, standing in front of my God, asking Him, are you sure? His answers have come through Scripture, through the ...

10 SIMPLE SUMMERTIME SOLUTIONS TO A DEEPER FAITH

July 9, 2018

Summer is a crazy season of sunning and running, right? We go from beach to pool (if we're lucky), or we're toting the winter coat to our freezing office space and dreaming about going from the beach to the pool. The kids are out of school and we're either loving all this homework-free time or we're crying over the piles of junk they leave in every room they occupy. But despite all the sunshine ... View Post

The Messiness of Motherhood

May 12, 2018

This week I put together a Mother’s Day gift for a young mother whose son was tragically killed a couple weeks ago. I went to three stores to try and curate the perfect gift, one which would offer a silver lining of hope, bright colors for that instant smile, and a hint of Scripture and God’s promises. But in the construct of this gift, I knew it would minister only for the briefest moment. I knew ... View Post

How Hospitality Helps Our Bruised Hearts Heal

April 16, 2018

I was scrolling through Facebook the other day, and there it was: another picture of people I know having a blast without me. Not to be a total baby about it, but I was so sad. Disappointed. Why hadn’t they thought of me? What had I done to not get an invitation? I’ve dealt with this for years. Haven’t you? You find people you love to be with and yet they always seem to prefer to be with people ... View Post

Is God Pleased with You?

March 14, 2018

This morning, curled up in the corner of my usual quiet-time space, my workbook to Beth Moore’s The Quest Bible Study open on my lap, a question sprung off the page and stumped me: Do you struggle to imagine God smiling on you? I thought about it, took a sip of my warm vanilla coffee, and wrote down my honest answer. Dutifully, I kept going, and read Exodus 33. Moses and God are having a ... View Post

If you want the church to change, go and be the church

February 26, 2018

When was the last time you were involved in a heated discussion about the church? Maybe it was about your home church and something that drives you crazy. Or maybe some “crazy Christian” made a comment that offended you and a discussion ensued about how “the church” is a hot mess. I’ve witnessed and been a part of lengthy debates regarding the church. These discussions have been regarding the ... View Post
