Taking Every Thought Captive: How Marriage is a Matter of Attitude

When I got married, I adored my husband. I was sure he was the right man for me. He was my best friend. He was funny. He loved and protected me. But marriage didn't end up being what I was anticipating. I wanted my husband to love me for me, and it seemed that when we didn't make love he got ticked off. And so I started challenging all my assumptions. I figured that Keith really didn't love … Read more...

Stepping Back and Trusting God with Your Marriage

I'm one of those people who believes in trusting God absolutely. It's just that I fear that in most circumstances, God could really use a hand. And I try to give it to Him! That didn't work tremendously well growing up, and God had to hit me over the head a few times to make me trust Him. I was constantly interfering in friendships, in relationships, trying to force them to go my way because I … Read more...

Celebrating Passover

As we embark on this most holy week leading up to the celebration of Resurrection Sunday, I want to remind you of another occasion that you may want to consider observing. Passover. Yes. You heard me right. Passover. No. I’m not Jewish. As I’ve said before, I’m a Protestant believer in Christ. A Gentile, even. But I am one who has, for several years, observed Passover with my … Read more...

Family Dinners

Years ago, when our children were small, my husband and I decided to do something that seemed so radical to us at the time. We decided that whenever it was humanly possible, we would sit down at the dining table as a family and eat dinner together. When my husband's schedule didn't allow him to be home for family dinner time, the children and I would have dinner together at the table, with their … Read more...

Lots of Good Things are Just More Things

So it has been a couple of days into my fast from social media, and just as I expected, God is using a highlighter, bold print and italics everywhere to make a statement to me. Clarity is the nature of fasting. If you have never before fasted, I challenge you to consider it. There is nothing like removing the things we rely upon and exchanging those experiences for reliance on the Lord to gain … Read more...

HINGE

At the beginning of the year, I decided to change-up my Bible reading plan. Usually, because I like order and checklists, I start at Genesis and go through. I got daring one time and went in chronological order. This year I decided to start with the New Testament, because usually by the time I get there in my reading plan, I am worn out. My get up and go has gotten up and tried to leave, as my … Read more...

Front Porch

“I should be able to handle it!”

These were the tear-filled words of my friend as I sat across the table from her listening to her share her struggles to find normal after years and years of addiction. She had just listed off her celebrations - things she did accomplish, things she had never done before because it was just too hard - she had lived a life of defeat, running to other substances when the weight of the daily … Read more...

He Knows

It isn't just the big answers I hear...sometimes, I hear God's answers to me in the littlest of things--things that only HE knows I think about. Like the blue bird--I saw one flit across the road in front of my car the other day. He knows I look for them. He knows I find hope for spring in seeing them. He knows how I love the deep, rich blue color. He knows I sigh, when I see … Read more...
