Last week I started reading Lysa TerKeurst’s new book, Uninvited. (But I didn’t Instagram about it, so hopefully you believe me.) I’m not even finished with it, because I’m mostly doing a lot of other things (like looking at my phone rather than reading). But, what I have read? It is so good. I recommend itContinue reading “With, Not Against”

The Hidden Word
When I was younger, I would find random Bible verses in the Bible, write them down on a piece of paper, and tape it to my bedroom wall. I remember writing with red ink, using fancy scissors that cut in patterns to cut them out, and continued to never actually look at the verse againContinue reading “The Hidden Word”
The Old Testament & Redemption
For the past few weeks, I’ve been reading through the book of Isaiah. Old Testament books always take me longer to get through, and honestly, I tend to skip over things that I don’t want to read about. (Genealogies, anyone?) I used to read very intentionally and spend time studying verses by paragraph, journaling throughContinue reading “The Old Testament & Redemption”

There didn’t seem to be any remedy until my boys were asleep, the TV was on to drown out silence, and I was stuffingContinue reading “How to Press On”
The Heavens and the Olympics
Thirteen years ago, I found Jesus with my brother in the middle of an alter call at a youth group. I was reminded a couple of weeks ago at our junior high youth group just how much Heaven rejoices when a lost soul finds its way back home. How the angels must roar in triumph,Continue reading “The Heavens and the Olympics”
Fingernails and Other Envies
I used to be envious of other people. Actually, I find myself still envious of people often. I just like to think I’ve improved. I used to hate my fingernails. (Yeah, you read that right) The shape. The cuticles. Gosh, I would pick at my cuticles. It was such a self-conscious thing for me inContinue reading “Fingernails and Other Envies”
