The Best Online Christian Writing Support Group

I have seen authors show up in this writing support group, not just when it benefited them, but to help and encourage one another. It didn’t matter if you were looking for feedback on a book cover or blurb, needed encouragement, or you were down with a cold and needed prayer; someone is always there for you.

Cultivating Gratitude Without A Journal

We are all created unique. So it should be no surprise that we all go about cultivating gratitude in our own way… right? Probably not, actually. I think it’s part of the comparison trap. I actually wrote about it at the end of last year when I confessed I was going against the flow and not choosing one word. Some women love picking a word, it works for them. Others felt relief when they found out that they weren’t the only ones who struggled with the whole, “One Word” thing. Which is why I’m...

Life Isn’t Fair… So What Do We Do About It?

“If you get home and I’m not there, your work shirt is in the dryer and I am at the hospital.” Life isn’t fair. That’s the thought that crossed my mind as soon as I sent that text to my son yesterday. As soon as I hit send, a wave of grief washed over me. Grief that this was our normal. That they were so used to me being at the hospital they wouldn’t be concerned. Grief that I wasn’t there for my kids. That I wouldn’t be there to hug them and ask them about their day. Grief for all that my mi...

Living in Light of the Gospel

“We walk by faith, not by sight.”~ 2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV) 2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV) If you’re anything like me, when you read the words, “Living In Light of the Gospel” you think about sharing your faith. You think about all the lost people of the world who need to know Jesus, but I’m coming to find that it means so much more than that. Yes, sharing our faith is part of it, but it’s not the whole. Years ago, I was introduced to the idea that the gospel wasn’t just for the unsaved… it wasn’t a...

How To Fight Self-Condemnation With The Gospel

After I dropped my kids off at school one-day last week, I was talking to my husband. I was telling him about the day before when I had been at the school dropping off some items the kids had forgotten. There was a substitute in the office and when she tried to verify what grade my daughter was in I couldn’t remember. I had a horrible migraine and I told her as much. I tried to laugh it off, but when I was relaying the conversation to my husband I told him I definitely wasn’t going to be winn...

Can Chronic Migraines Cause Memory Loss?

Can chronic migraines cause memory loss? If you’ve ever had a headache, you probably know they impair your ability to think clearly. Migraines make that ten times worse. As someone who has had a migraine for over two years (not exaggerating), I knew my memory wasn’t what it used to be. However, I had no idea how bad it really was. I’m blogging over on Candidly Christian about an experience that highlighted the depth of my memory loss. But not just that, I’m sharing three things I know I will...
