Perspective, Patience and Power When Wronged
Over the past three years, I have endured a painful season of hurt and betrayal by people close to me. What made these incredibly painful experiences is how blindsided I felt by the other person's actions.
Uninvited and Unimportant
Like everyone, things that have happened in my past have shaped who I am now. I’m specifically talking about trauma—years of deep-rooted pain that have shaped me in ways I’m still discovering. I’ve always longed for deep friendships. That feeling of love and belonging is something we all crave, isn’t it?
Girl Listen Up Podcast: Friendship Episode
I am one of the hosts for our Girl Listen Up Podcast…In one of our episodes, we talk about friendships and our personal experiences with them. In the episode, I share how I went through a season of loneliness. Since someone out there could relate to my story, I wanted to go more in depth to encourage you.
Elevator Pitch
I have given the idea of an elevator pitch a lot of thought lately — a short, but powerful, pitch that captures the heart of the Message in five minutes or less. But how do you summarize 66 books into five minutes or less? I guess I would start with John 3:16.
Loving Those You Dislike
Have you been in a situation where your dislike for someone makes it hard to act kindly, leading you to avoid or distance yourself from them? Well, this is something I am struggling with right now. Even as Christians, we sometimes struggle with these feelings.
Munching On Music
For the past six years, I’ve struggled with dips into depression and anxiety in my fight against PTSD. In recent months, I’ve felt stronger, happier and healthier. I wondered what has been the most helpful to turning my thinking around – back towards God?
