That Time I Stalked Lisa Harper…

That Time I Stalked Lisa Harper…

September 18, 2017

I shouldn't brag about this, but I have some experience as a stalker. As a teenager my friends and I would do "drive-bys" together: driving past the places where our crushes were, with the hopes of catching a glimpse. I was never ashamed. Until once we were caught - by MY crush. It was embarrassing. But I got over it. (He was THAT cute!) That tradition died in high school. Until this past weekend. ... View Post

Why We Feel So Rejected

Why We Feel So Rejected

September 13, 2017

Have you ever wondered why you feel so rejected? Why your heart hurts even over the small things you wish you could shrug off? Yeah, me too. But I think I've found the answer. Let me share it with you. Last week I sent an email to my subscribers asking them what their biggest challenge is at this point in their lives. I asked so I can continue to write content that ministers to my readers. The ... View Post

How to Survive Pregnancy Loss as a Couple

How to Survive Pregnancy Loss as a Couple

September 1, 2017

How can you and your spouse survive the grief and loss of a pregnancy as a couple? Here is what I learned.  I lost my first baby only hours after I’d first heard the thump-thump of his heart during an ultrasound. Just six weeks along, our baby was all heart and yolk sac. When my body expelled that blip of baby I was alone. I remember the confusion of the pain, the cramping I thought was a ... View Post

Bring Your Light to the Fight

Bring Your Light to the Fight

August 24, 2017

My seven-year-old is a natural athlete. Whatever he attempts, he does well. And Avry wanted to learn to surf like the kids on YouTube. My husband is a radical cheerleader when it comes to his children, and so he bought a thick, short surfboard. Avry carried the board down to the surf, full of excitement, certain he'd look like those young surfers on YouTube in just a matter of moments. He strutted ... View Post

Going to Battle: How to Choose Prayer Warriors

Going to Battle: How to Choose Prayer Warriors

August 16, 2017

I placed my hands on her warm shoulders. I was kneeling behind her, my eyes closed, and I could feel the presence of the twenty other people surrounding us. Linked by touching hands or fingers set atop arms and soft summery cottons, we had  gathered in faith to pray for healing over this young woman in front of me. Silence or quiet sniffles filled the spaces between each person’s prayer, words ... View Post

Be the First

Be the First

August 11, 2017

Do you sometimes feel invisible? Have you stood in the hallway of church, work or a social event and felt your heart harden as women walk right past? Have you seen a friend and suddenly you feel like you're both strangers? Have you ever felt like if it weren't you reaching out, you'd never be invited to anything? Have you wondered why you're like teflon for friendships? I have thought and felt ... View Post

The Gift of Faith (How to Receive It)

The Gift of Faith (How to Receive It)

August 1, 2017

After Noah’s injury as an infant, seizures ravaged his body for over a year. On his worst day he had 32; I remember not only because it was the highest number we’d seen but because the day before had been nearly perfect as we let him splash in the kiddie pool for the first time. After nearly a dozen medications failed him, desperation pushed us into action, and we started Noah on the Ketogenic ... View Post

Faith to Pray (When You’re Not Sure Your Have It)

Faith to Pray (When You’re Not Sure Your Have It)

July 26, 2017

I gave birth to the most perfect, pink barrel-chested baby almost nine years ago. The doctor called me a rock star for lasting past 9 CM for my epidural. (Natural child birthers and other Wonder Womans, please give this win to me.) Four months later I dropped him off at daycare and kissed that precious face goodbye, walking into the drizzle of a gray April morning. The next time I saw my son he ... View Post

Breathing Lessons: Hope When You’ve Lost It

Breathing Lessons: Hope When You’ve Lost It

July 19, 2017

Last night my seven-year-old son, Avry, couldn’t find his breathing medicine (his inhaler and spacer). It’s a daily struggle for him, even though we’ve given him his own container for it and a storage place in the family room. But he’s seven, and sometimes he’s acts like it. By losing things. We were late for bed so I added a few comments like, “How can I trust you if you can’t take care of it?” ... View Post

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

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

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…

Waiting in the Womb: How God Births Miracles from the Barren

Waiting in the Womb: How God Births Miracles from the Barren

In Genesis we are introduced to Sarah, who becomes the mother of all Israel. With her begins God’s promise that someday Abraham’s descendants will outnumber the stars in the sky. God’s promise to Abraham can’t work without a womb. And the woman whose womb He has been chosen is barren. Sarah is beyond middle age…

BAGGAGE CLAIM: IS YOUR FAITH WALK BOGGED DOWN?

BAGGAGE CLAIM: IS YOUR FAITH WALK BOGGED DOWN?

I fly a lot. I’ve slowly graduated from white-knuckle-gripping the armrests and praying in hushed, panicked gasps for Jesus to keep my airplane in the air to feeling like a jet-setter, brisk-walking through the airport with my savvy traveler know-how in my comfy Sketchers and leggings. No matter how many times I fly, though, I…
