When I first began to read the book Undone by Michele Cushatt, I thought that it was going to be a cancer survivor story. And…it is that. But…it’s also so much more. A cancer diagnosis in a loved one or yourself. Raising your kids to young adulthood only to pick up and start over again with 3…
A Cup of Water
Diet Motivation
In 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, the gist of the passage is talking about avoiding sexual sin. I find it interesting though that intermixed in this passage is a section about food and the body. Sexual sin clearly affects the body, as well as the soul, deeply. And eating disorders—anorexia, bulimia, and even overeating—also affect the body…

Fear of Opinions
I shouldn’t stop at simply knowing what I am afraid of. I’ve known for years that I have a fear of people, or more specifically, what people think. But just knowing this isn’t enough. Even praying about it isn’t enough, even though prayer is a great place to start. What I need to do in…

Feel Hope Again

I have heard countless stories of women who have had abortions regretting it and feeling shame for years to come–sometimes even…
Even Once is Too Much
I applaud this woman’s courage: https://youtu.be/VBwgzefa_0g Violence is never included in a description of love–even once. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does…
Light Freedom Rest Zest
God’s Light leads to Freedom to Choose which leads to Rest in His Ability to Help You and then finally to the Zest to Do Things for Him.
Throw Away Excuses
Excuses are like a warm, security blanket. They are comfortable and give me a reason to stay the same. After all, I’ve been okay up until now. Why not stay where I am? I don’t really want to stay where I am because deep down I know that I’m not really okay and those warm…
