Continue reading →: The One Sentence That Hijacked My Thoughts (in the Best Way)
I’m sitting here this morning, minding my own business, when suddenly my brain decides to host a full‑scale Broadway production starring… me. And the supporting cast? Every person I’ve ever interacted with, plus a few who probably don’t even remember my name. I read something earlier that said “what we…

Continue reading →: I am Hagar
I am Hagar. Hagar was a single mom—not because she made reckless choices, but because she obeyed the people who held power over her. She wasn’t perfect (join the club), but she did what she was told. And for fourteen years she walked around with her head held high because…

I had a conversation with my son yesterday. He’s a grown man, but sometimes his thinking slips into that teenage space—not because he’s a man (we’re not doing stereotypes today, thank you very much), but because of the brain injury he survived. Some days he’s fully his age; other days…

We all know and love the story of the woman who reached out and touched the bottom of Jesus’ cloak because she believed—down to her bones—that if she could just get her fingers on Him, she would be healed. If you haven’t read it in a while, you can find…

Lot’s wife doesn’t have a name. Well, I’m sure she does, but apparently the Bible decided, “Nope, we’re not doing introductions today.” Her entire lesson is short and blunt. It’s one sentence. And it’s not even a “here’s what not to do” verse — it’s more like the Bible pointing…

Continue reading →: Slip back into the garden with Him
Today, right in the middle of your chaos, stay in the light. Because let’s be honest — this morning the dishes are still dirty, the clothes are still in the dryer, the oldest son is still tangled up in lies, my husband is irritated with me, and work is piling…

Continue reading →: It Was My Turn
If you’ve been around here long enough, you already know about my ongoing back saga. If not, feel free to rewind to my The Backpack and the Beloved” blog post, where I confessed that I don’t just carry emotional burdens — I apparently strap them on like I’m training for…

Continue reading →: Letting Go of the Whiteboard and Grabbing the Hem
I was sitting in my overcontrol thoughts again. If you’ve been here for more than five minutes, you already know my struggle: I’m a control freak. A Type A. A leader. Some of those words sound awful, some sound impressive, and honestly, all of them are true. In business, this…

Continue reading →: Raising His Children, Even Now
Today I stumbled into one of those deep, inconvenient questions that only seem to show up when you’re minding your own business reading Scripture. I was sitting with Abraham—well, not literally, but you know—walking with him up that mountain as he prepared to offer Isaac, the promised child, back to…

I was spending some time in Hosea and noticed something. The birds. It feels like a shift from what we usually pay attention to in this book. Hosea is the prophet who got voluntold by God to live out the world’s most dramatic object lesson, starring his unfaithful wife and…
