Family Conflict During Quarantine

April 8, 2020April 8, 2020

Is there such a thing as too much family time? Many are finding that during the days of the covid-19 quarantine… yes!  Of course, we all love our family. But whether you’re dealing with high tension in the marriage relationship, sibling bickering or bullying, or stir-crazy toddlers (or teens), there is high opportunity for family … Continue reading Family Conflict During Quarantine

19 Mental Health Tips for Dealing with COVID-19

March 18, 2020March 18, 2020

Life feels different. Virtually every aspect of community life has shut down in an effort to prevent the rapid spreading of a novel coronavirus. We're stuck indoors, in small groups, for an unknown amount of time.  The primary concern, of course, is people’s physical health from COVID-19. Yet, with the government and community measures attempting … Continue reading 19 Mental Health Tips for Dealing with COVID-19

How to handle rejection well

February 19, 2020December 6, 2019

None of us like rejection. The simple word feels mean. And yet, all of us face rejection at some point or another in our lives. So it’s worth asking the question: How can we respond to and handle rejection well? The most primary concern when we face rejection is the toll it takes on our … Continue reading How to handle rejection well

The value in a taking a break

November 7, 2019

Do you ever feel guilty for taking a break from responsibilities? Many of us do. Yet we wind up overcommitted and exhausted. We get our “break” then due to illness, burnout, or perhaps from such a decline in performance that the responsibility is given to someone else for awhile.  God did not create us to … Continue reading The value in a taking a break

Yes, God brought me this trial

July 31, 2019

I don’t like to be in pain. Be it physical, emotional, spiritual - I dislike the experience of pain. I know that pain can bring positive end results… and so I exercise even when I don’t feel like it. But pain is not a fun experience.  Let me guess: You know what I’m talking about.  … Continue reading Yes, God brought me this trial

Handling the heartache of a broken world

July 24, 2019July 24, 2019

Over the past month, we’ve looked at the reality of life’s setbacks and detours and taken encouragement from the fact that God’s plans are bigger than our plans. But one of the other reasons why we experience setbacks in life is not quite as encouraging.  Sometimes, our heartaches and struggles are simply part of the experience of … Continue reading Handling the heartache of a broken world

Are my plans really better than the Lord’s plans?

July 18, 2019July 18, 2019

We all know the “correct” answer here. Isaiah 55 answers this question directly: “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” So why do I live as if my plans are better than the Lord’s plans? As we looked at in … Continue reading Are my plans really better than the Lord’s plans?

Why doesn’t life go as planned?

July 3, 2019

We think that when we give our lives to Christ, we can now expect smoother sailing through the ups and downs of life. We look at social media and think that we’re the only family who is struggling with a difficult season. But in reality, all of us experience setbacks or detours in the life … Continue reading Why doesn’t life go as planned?

Rest is a good thing

June 5, 2019June 3, 2019

Do you ever have trouble falling asleep at night because your brain just won’t turn off? I certainly do.  God has created us as creatures who need rest. Our bodies will literally shut down if we do not sleep. Our emotions and our mental health will suffer if we work 7 days a week, 15 … Continue reading Rest is a good thing

I really hate stress.

April 30, 2019April 23, 2019

I realized this morning that I’m feeling a little stressed out.  How did I come to this realization? My husband started rubbing my shoulders and they were tight as rocks. That (short) massage hurt! Uh oh.  I know my body well enough to know that super tight shoulders are a warning sign of stress. Frankly, it’s … Continue reading I really hate stress.
