Special Announcement: My next book! Woot!
A few years ago, author Frank Viola told me about a book he wanted to write. Of women in the New Testament meeting Jesus. Real women. Real stories. And the impact these stories can have on all of us. He was searching for a fiction author to add life and vibrancy to these oft-read accounts, […]

41 – Suffering Does Not = Failure
I’m excited to share this week’s episode of the Uncaged Podcast. Let’s start with three truths you need to remember: Suffering does not = Failure Persecution does not = God’s disappointment Suffering + Courage = Pleasing God Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-4: You yourselves know, dear brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not […]

Should you stay the course or change the course?
2015 seems to be all about change. And trust. In fact, trust is my word for the year. If it’s yours, please feel free to steal the photo at the top of this post. To be honest, I’m not so great at trust. (Well, to be even more honest, I’m terrific at trust IF I […]

40 – How to Joy Your Way through Life
I am grateful for my daughter Sophie who is working on my podcasts now. This enables the Uncaged Podcast to continue. I am beginning this new year with a podcast about something we all so desperately need: joy. Below are the verses and quotes I walked through. Perhaps you can copy and paste them on […]

Chin Tilted Down? Read this.
My mom came to visit us before Christmas. We had an amazing, sweet visit. One of the things she wanted to do was to take our kids shopping. She gave them a budget, and then came along to see what each would choose. Our youngest, Julia, wanted makeup. So off to Ulta they went. The […]

Burdened? Fight back with JOY.
I don’t always fight back with joy. But my dear friend Twilla did. Every single day of her cancer-ridden life, she found joy. And it changed me. It still does. I had the opportunity to spend some time in her home this last weekend. Her husband Johnny graciously allowed a passel of writers to congregate […]

We Praise the Shimmery
I looked at my bank statement today and got that weird panicky feeling again. It’s silly, I know. God has this, right? But again, I worry. And then I commit the sin of Facebook, looking at all the shiny people doing all the shiny things–becoming wildly successful, living their best lives on the stage of […]

Do you yell at yourself?
I woke up this morning with that sickly feeling of regret, of shame. And then I wallowed in it, nursed the words, called myself names. Can you relate? Have you ever abused your mind and heart this way? Here’s the silly thing, honestly. It was about a purchase I regretted that cost $70.72. A lot […]

2015: The Year You Write Your Book
Have you had a dream way down deep to hold a book with your name on the cover? Have you jotted a goal on your bucket list that included, Write a Book? Honestly, I never thought I’d hold my book in my hands. I didn’t think I’d get published. When I diapered and nurtured my […]

Recap of 2014
2014 was a good year, workwise, but also frustrating and confusing. I did manage to finish three books, self-publish one (Not Marked), release some audio and ebooks, and speak a lot. As I settle in to rest these next two weeks, I’ll be taking inventory, praying, reading Scripture, and talking to wise people to discern […]
