Broken-Heart and Ceiling-Staring Days

By

I’m delighted to introduce you to one of a newest monthly contributors, Rachelle of www.rachellerea.com.  She comes to us with a passion for the Lord and a writing style that penetrates the heart.  May you be blessed and encourage by the gifts of God Rachelle has to offer us through life from her perspective. [divider] Yesterday was a broken-heart day. A drive-on-and-on, until the trees nearly fold in on me on that stretch of highway day. A pump-the-words-of-the-country-song-from-my-lungs-and -into-the-windshield day. I couldn’t even pinpoint why I was grip-the-steering-wheel angry, frustrated, anxious. All I knew was that my heart was broken.…

The Need to Keep It Real…From My Heart

By

It only took a simple little renewal email to remind me that time is passing by faster than I can catch it.  How could a year slip through my fingers so quickly? What have I done with the time I was given? Did I follow through on my commitments? Was I really emotionally present and engaged with those I say I love? Did my heart truly bend itself to the will of the Father? A year.  It is such a long time when looking ahead and a short time when looking behind. This time last year I was prayerfully seeking…

Collision of Grace

By

She could have been my daughter. Twenty-one years ago, it was more than conceivable for me to birth a baby girl. Except it wasn’t a part of God’s plan for my life. Instead of birth and new life, my course was set to experience a spiraling pit of emotional death as I sought out love in every wrong places.  Left empty, alone, and ashamed, I knocked on heart-shaped doors only to come up lost. Until I was found. Rescued by a Savior. And brought into an understanding of my sin and need for redemption by a man who led me…

Maybe you’re home schooled or attend a Christian school or college and feel like you’re stuck in a “bubble.” Maybe you’re in a more secular environment and feel like you’re only hearing one side of the story. Maybe you’re tired of the all-too-common perception of young women as an audience for fashion and pop culture mags and, well, not much else. If any of these is true for you, allow me to suggest World On Campus as a potential solution.   Run by WORLD…

{Giveaway} Because I’m Redeemed by Grace

By

Nearly 20 years ago, my life was tracking toward nothing short of destruction.  I truly believe that the only reason I am alive today is because God’s hand held my life in His grip through the worst part of my rebellious years. The vivid memories of my reckless past still flash before my mind’s eye, as I shuttle my girls to and from basketball or run another trip out to the mall.  A whiff of a beer or a look in a teenager’s eye strike through my heart with painful truth heal by grace. I should have died. Sure, some…
