All. Over. The. Place.
Hard circumstances and jostling emotions can lead us to believe that we are too much to be around and that we have little to offer.
Today, I dive into some verses from 1 Peter to see what he has to say to a bunch of seemingly traumatized folks about what they can expect as followers of Jesus. I pray this will be a resounding message of truth for your heart.
Need something refreshing? Join me in Psalm 145 to be reminded of God’s goodness and sustaining gifts.
1 Corinthians 13 provides a laundry list of things that “love is…” The attributes listed in this chapter are only truly fulfilled by God, but, because we are made in His image, is it possible we can experience this type of love by human hands and hearts?
I don’t write prose often, but this one came flowing from my heart to my pen as I recalled these stories about God’s love through human hands.
As we ring in the New Year, the world has a demanding question – “how do you intend to better yourself this year?”
If you feel “not-enough” or “inadequate” before you set out on your resolution journey, you are very likely to continue feeling that way no matter what you accomplish. Trying to set goals and strategize our way into adequacy is a spinning wheel that can lead to exhaustion, defeat, and shame.
Before getting too deep into this year’s resolution (or deciding not to set any goals at all), please read today’s article. I am so excited for us to experience the joys of this journey rather than falling into “self-optimization fatigue”.
What is the “thorn in your side” that just won’t go away?
Trust me, I have plenty. Sometimes I get so frustrated at myself regarding the “thorn” and other times I want to throw my hands up at the world and scream, “Deal with it! This is who I am, like it or not!”
Today I bring you scripture and an equation (two of my favorite things) to help us find something in between frustration and complacency regarding our thorns.
