Hanging by a Thread
Tonight was exceedingly rough. I really dislike those nights. So instead of sleeping I decided to write. I can’t sleep anyway…don’t want to wake up any friends…and I’ve already poured out my heart to God face first in the carpet. I’m back to those days. My face in the carpet days. I don’t have a…

Strength for the Weary Warrior
Years ago I lead a women’s retreat called “How to Dress Like a Warrior.” Lately I have felt anything but warrior-like. If I am a warrior, I’m definitely a weary warrior. Today I reread Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally be strong in the LORD and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that…

Who Am I Going With?
Again I’m faced with big decisions… Again… Do you hear the underlying groan in my writing? I sat with my dear friend and prayer partner recently and said, “I’m tired of trying to discern God’s will.” I felt so ungodly saying that…so grumpy, tired, and sinful. I want to be better at it. I feel…

Got Direction?
Does anyone else have a pile of book on or around their nightstand? Mine is getting to the point of ridiculous. Not only that but there are books on the chest at the foot of my bed, stacked in bookshelves throughout my house, and in various bags I carry around in the off chance I’ll…

Life in the Back Row
There are things that bring back very vivid memories for me…some painful some not. This evening I was playing through some praise music I found in my organizing spree and I began to play “Mighty to Save.” Everyone needs compassion Love that’s never failing Let mercy fall on me Everyone needs forgiveness The kindness of…
