    Learning to Love Rest: A Saving Grace

    March 31, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Sometimes the best way to grow is to learn from our struggles. Rest is one of mine, and that includes sleeping. As a woman in my mid-40s, you would think this wouldn’t be such a struggle, but honestly, I have gotten worse at it over my life. Why? First, I have failed to recognize rest as a component of humility. Psalm 4:8 states, “In peace, I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Imagine the absolute trust a believer in the ancient world must have had to rest in peace knowing that their heavenly Father would care for them as they…

    Book Review: “Unglued” by Lysa Terkeurst

    March 28, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Unglued–A book that gives you a different perspective on handling life’s interruptions. It talks about our raw emotions and how we deal with them. Lysa helps us define who we are: an exploder that blames others, an exploder that shames herself, a stuffer that builds barriers, or a stuffer that collects retaliation rocks (comments). As you read the book you start to figure out which of those categories you most fit in or whether it’s a combination of a couple of them. God gave us these emotions so we can enjoy life and we sometimes need to think about them before we react. We also need to take time to…

    Busyness is a choice?!?!

    March 24, 2021 / 0 Comments

    I read an article in the Summer 2020 women’s magazine Just Between Us entitled Journaling as a Spiritual Practice: Tracking God’s Faithfulness in Your Life. In the article, author Helen Cipero outlines life using the compass directions. North is God. East is what is emerging in your life. South is your calling or passion. And, West is what is setting or changing in your life. While a simple exercise, looking at the compass of my life clarified that my two most important priorities in my life are God and family. However, when I looked at how I had been spending my time, it was obvious that something was out of…

    Frozen

    March 21, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Typically, when we hear the word frozen we automatically think of the various states of frozen water. For example, we are all familiar with the various frozen states of water such as an ice cube or when snow becomes sleet. But what about applying the term frozen to a mental or physical state? Let’s discuss that further. For some of us, our endless to-do lists and the seemingly never-ending list of activities may produce a mental or physical state of being frozen. We may lay awake at night trying to get to sleep feeling frozen in place thinking about what did and didn’t get done that day and what is…

    St. Patrick’s Day

    March 17, 2021 / 0 Comments

    I have always thought that you had to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day and look out for pots of gold and leprechauns. It might surprise you to know the real reason behind this interesting day.  As you might have guessed it does have to do with the Irish, but it is actually a religious holiday. St. Patrick was born in Britain to a Christian family but growing up St. Patrick was an atheist. He was captured by pirates and taken to Ireland when he was 16 years old. While in Ireland he worked as a shepherd. He escaped six years later by walking almost 200 miles and convincing a…
