Today was my day to write a post about hope. I told Daniel that I was going to skip it because I had nothing of worth to say. So he said he’d write one for me. I hope his words mean as much to you as they did to me. From Daniel: Your worst dayContinueContinue reading “Finding Hope: A Husband’s Perspective”

Where is Joy?
Life is hard. We all know that. It’s why so many Christian authors, myself included, focus on joy and hope in their books. Because we are all just trying to make it through life. But that joy? The one that is supposed to buoy you up no matter the circumstances? That joy has been eludingContinueContinue reading “Where is Joy?”
Dare to Hope
I learned, early on in life, what I thought was a valuable lesson. That hope usually led to disappointment in life. If you hoped for something, got excited for it, it was bound to fall through or hurt you in some way. So, by the time I reached college, I had my own mantra. ItContinueContinue reading “Dare to Hope”
Hoping For What Is Not Seen
It’s hard to wait for what you want. I should know. I’m terrible at it. I’m one of those people who gets impatient when decisions aren’t being made. Who decides she wants something and immediately starts planning steps to get it. Who feels like a failure when her first couple queries didn’t immediately garner anContinueContinue reading “Hoping For What Is Not Seen”
Being Discouraged
Wondering why my blog post is so late today? I’ll be honest…it’s because I didn’t want to write about hope today. Nope. I wanted to sit and wallow. Because sometimes there are just those days–or weeks–where you wonder if it is all worth it. And not just about writing. About life in general. When itContinueContinue reading “Being Discouraged”
Inner Peace
God is faithful. Did you know that? A week after I hand it all over, and I get a check in the mail for an accepted submission! A submission that I sent two years ago. TWO YEARS, people. Granted, the check was for only $20 and the submission was a 250 word devotional–but that reallyContinueContinue reading “Inner Peace”
Sawdust and Souls
What do you smell when you pass a construction site? Specifically, one where they are right in the middle of building a new house? You can see straight to the insides of the house. You can see the beams that form a structure for that room that will one day be filled with memories. AndContinueContinue reading “Sawdust and Souls”
That Leap of Faith
This has been one of the longest years of my life. And yes, I know it is only March 24th. Here’s the thing. As I think I’ve mentioned before, I am less than happy at my job. And by less than happy, I mean checking my phone every few minutes on Sundays to see howContinueContinue reading “That Leap of Faith”
A Clover of Hope
I know – it has been forever since I have posted. It’s just been one of those months. I have slowly been working on editing the sappy romance novel, for which I still do not have a title (this is new for me – I normally have pages of titles and not enough books!) andContinueContinue reading “A Clover of Hope”
