    Feeling Stuck?

    Feeling stuck is universal for us all. Maybe you feel stuck in a relationship that’s difficult or stuck taking care of someone with a sickness. How about stuck teaching your kids from home? Or stuck financially trying your best to make a dent but it just doesn’t seem to be working. Are you stuck waiting…

    What changed it for you?

    My third kiddo. I liked to say I was pretty independent and had a big chip on my shoulder before I became a mom. A chip that said- “I can take care of it myself.” Our first kid was born and the pride of independence was very present. And I did well with our first…

    I love thinking about…

    Seasons. Maybe you feel joy returning and hope rising up as you gently close your eyes taking in the sunshine. Maybe you’re sitting in the living room and letting the sunshine flood in. As I walk outside, we have bulbs that are popping up and their bright green color is so welcome in this season…

    He is for you

    Yesterday I was picking up a book to read. Now I’m enjoying this book, but it was a challenging chapter. I thought it might be triggering and I was worried I’d feel shame and defeat after reading it. (This is normally how I feel when challenged-shame and guilt of not being enough come to the…

    Remembering what I’ve learned.

    We are leaving a lovely little town in northern Michigan and I came away with something special. We enjoyed some time away for our anniversary and I love time like this because it helps me to slow down. To see. To experience something in an unhurried way. • flat rocks to skip • heart shaped…

    Thinking about them

    Yesterday and today I kept thinking about the women who went to the tomb to be with Jesus. I imagine each day they have gone to sit with Jesus’ body. Weep. Maybe they feel so uncertain of what Jesus will actually do. Was it true? Is it real? Has he come and changed me, but…

    Walled up

    One of my greatest temptations is to wall up. You know when you feel triggered and the alarm bells start ringing and you say oh no we’ve been here before, shut the doors! It’s not safe! We need safety! Shut down. System offline. This is me sometimes, you? I had some victory this week I’d…

    One step at a time

    I keep hearing this phrase so I thought I’d write about it. Mostly because I desperately need the reminder each day. Nothing in life has come as a quick fix. But I’m so prone to still crave and want it to be that way. I saw a memory of Facebook last week. One that reminded…

    Who can you trust?

    Trust defined as “assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or the truth of someone or something.” (www.m-w.com) Have you ever been hurt by someone? Then you tightened up like a clam for self-protection? Me too. Trust is my word for this year. I don’t just want to trust anyone or anything. But I believe…

    Comfort

    I want you to think about the times when you were little and you received comfort. Maybe you can’t remember a time. The bad feels too big and there aren’t any memories of comfort. Sit awhile longer and ask God to show you His comfort. This morning, I pulled a blanket out of the dryer…
