I tip-toed out the front door of the house to take a phone call so I wouldn’t wake my napping teen in the family room. She’s recovering from surgery. I’d just caught a bowl-full of her vomit and reapplied ice packs to her incision sites. A moment in the sunshine, breeze, and green grass wouldContinue reading “GLEEFULLY His”

NOT-SO-STUPIDLY His
It’s been a hard week. Situations arose involving finances, marriage, and parenting that left me feeling entirely clueless. And the still-recovering people-pleasing, over-achieving perfectionist in me does.not.like.feeling.dumb! But that’s exactly where I found myself on multiple days this week: confused, stumped, not knowing which way to turn or how to proceed. I stumbled across theContinue reading “NOT-SO-STUPIDLY His”
GROWINGLY HIS
Today’s blog is a lot different … it’s a PODCAST! I recently sat down with Keri Wilt and recorded an episode for her “Well-Tended Life” Podcast. We had a lot of fun and focused on how we can grow through whatever we are going through. I think you’ll enjoy listening. And I’m giving away aContinue reading “GROWINGLY HIS”
TIMELESSLY His
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, beginnings and endings. That statement has never felt truer than now, as I close out the year 2022 and open the year 2023. For me, 2022 was a year of both slow and sudden change. A year of bittersweet endings and expected beginnings. A year of traumaticContinue reading “TIMELESSLY His”
PRESENTLY His
We really looked forward to this weekend … our first weekend in many weeks when there was nothing scheduled. Recently, we’d moved our oldest into a new apartment while she finishes college. We’d moved our middle child into her first dorm room at a different college. We’d gone to tennis tournaments while supporting our youngestContinue reading “PRESENTLY His”
BLESSEDLY His
I’m a super honest person. Lately, I’ve been struggling with feeling insincere when I casually run into people around town. I got downright nervous recently at the grocery store while waiting in line with my cart of items, anticipating the impending conversation. A typical, short greeting in a situation like this used to go somethingContinue reading “BLESSEDLY His”
BUSILY and BLESSEDLY His
The world’s perspective says I should focus on self-care … But God’s perspective says, “Look at the lavish way I am pouring out my love for you. I am pouring out more blessings than you can hold.”
UNQUESTIONABLY His
Who are you? And who am I? Famous philosopher Aristotle reportedly said, “We are what we repeatedly do.” Although I do agree that our habits and activities characterize us, I do not believe they are the essence of our actual being. If Aristotle were entirely correct, I would be coffee. If weContinue reading “UNQUESTIONABLY His”
POTENTIALLY His
That small, whole coffee bean I found this morning serves as a perfect reminder of the link between suffering and potential. Jesus, too, had to endure violent suffering before He could reach His full potential and purpose. Just for a moment, try to imagine Jesus without the torment of the cross…
INTIMATELY His
As we enter this season, I am asking myself some difficult questions to guide me through this holy time of year. I pray this checklist may offer you some guidance as well.
Expressively HIS ...
