Strength to Survive the Hard Days

Strength to Survive the Hard Days

My husband started cycling about 15 years ago, and he and my cousin convinced me to try it about 10 years ago. At first, I hated it, but it quickly grew on me, and now I enjoy riding. It’s great exercise, and it’s good bonding time with my hubby. What started out as 10 to 20-mile rides when I first began have slowly increased to 20 to 40 miles for an average ride. Two years ago my brother, who also cycles, invited Randy and me to complete the Six Gap Century. It’s a 104-mile course that climbs more than 11,200…

The Power in Waiting

The Power in Waiting

By

The same way the Israel experienced captivity in Babylon, our hearts and minds also experience captivity by fear, insecurities, opinions, and circumstances. It is in the midst of those suffering times that God’s Word speaks hope and encouragement into our hearts, through these words: But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Pressing the Holy Pause Button for Sabbath Rest

By

Do you ever feel tempted to skim familiar passages when you read your Bible? That’s what I was about to do as I came upon the passage in Exodus about the Sabbath. “Yeah, yeah, Lord I know.” But do I know? Do I really know why God intended the Sabbath for our good? Do I really believe that a day of rest is necessary for me, a happy-to-be-busy kind of girl? Am I willing to be stretched into stillness, as an act of surrender to my Sovereign God? As I swiftly turned the page, I felt a prompting from the…

Do you need a motherhood "re-do"?

Do you need a motherhood “re-do”?

By

As soon as I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I gave notice to my boss with the full intention to be a stay-at-home mom. But over the next six months, the lie that “I’d become obsolete” seeped into my thinking and the pressure to hang onto freelance work mounted. Somehow, I was able to count the cost of missing out on work but not motherhood.  It wasn’t until years later when that little baby turned six and I was in the midst of caring for my baby twins that I realized how much I gave up.
