Each week, Leslie & Co. answers an anonymous reader question on the blog. Due to the volume of questions we receive, we cannot answer every one. Please submit your question below:
Am I Crazy, or Is He Controlling?
It’s been an unusual season here at LV & Co. We’re a small team and there’s been a lot of life happening for everyone. We’re all glad to be part of this ministry, and we all have ups and downs. Thank you for your prayers, we’re always grateful for them. I normally support quietly in the background, making sure these…
Why Do I Keep Trying to Connect?
Happy October, friends! The fall harvest is a time of year when people celebrate the fruits of their labor and reap the rewards of their hard work. It’s a time to give thanks for the bounty of crops, share food and gifts, and prepare for winter. But what if there is no fruit to harvest? What if you have done…
Guard Your Heart By Detaching From Destructive People
Hello, my Friends! It is a busy time as the school year comes to a close. I live near an elementary school where the children just experienced their last day. From my patio, I could hear hooping and hollering, the sounds of kazoos, and the screams of delight. There is a freedom to summer that children seem to long for.…
Pause, Pray, Prepare, Practice and Plan
Spring is a glorious season, it’s a time for gratitude and celebration. We get to reflect on hope, renewal, and the gift of our salvation in Christ Jesus. This week’s question provides an opportunity to appreciate the courage and strength it takes to prioritize our well-being and set boundaries in our relationships. By focusing on what is working and finding…
Am I Wrong for Not Wanting Reconciliation?
Morning friend, I had a wonderful time in Istanbul and Greece on my cruise. It was two years of waiting, but worth it. I especially enjoyed seeing Ephesus and Mars Hill, where the apostle Paul was, and visiting the place he preached in Acts 16. It’s hard to get back on track, especially with the holidays coming up.I am doing…
He Won’t Leave
Morning friend, Sometimes when we’re stuck in a repetitive pattern of unhealthiness or sin we’re tempted to berate ourselves over and over again. We don’t even see the tiny steps forward we may have gained, all we see is the big mistakes we’re still making. In today’s question, our guest is mad at herself and sad for falling into the…
What’s Wrong With Sacrificially Helping Others?
Morning friend, I am cooking and hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year. How about you? My adult children are also bringing food. My granddaughters will set the table. Everyone helps clean up. I don’t do it all. I don’t want to do it all. We’re about to enter into a season where sometimes we can get stressed out, tapped out, and…
A Courageous Woman Refused To Submit
Morning friend, Prayers appreciated for my family. My step-mom is in the final days or weeks of her life and it’s been hard. Pray that she is taken home to heaven with a minimal of suffering and discomfort and comfort for my father who will deeply miss her. Instead of our normal question and answer format, today in light of…
How Do I Stop The Blame Game?
Morning friend, Did you know that during the daytime, sunflowers all turn towards the sun, but at night they all turn towards one another? I love that picture from nature. We are hardwired to need nourishment from both God (the source, the sun for flowers) and also from community. When it’s dark, when it’s cold, when we don’t see or…
