I’ve Wasted My Life On My Husband; How Can I Look Forward To The Future?
Hi, friends! This time of year reminds me that every meaningful choice has a cost. Here in the USA, July brings fireworks, backyard cookouts, parades, and red, white, and blue everywhere we look. Wherever you live, freedom is something we all long for. And freedom is rarely free. It asks us to let go of something in order to take…
What Does a Healthy Christian Marriage Look Like?
Morning friend, We just concluded our Moving Beyond Insecurity Coaching Week. It was amazing. So many breakthroughs and takeaways women gained in just one week. God longs to heal our heart, our mind, and our relationships. And, most of the time, he doesn’t do it instantly. Instead, he invites our cooperation, our willingness, and our commitment to learn what we…
Don’t Pack Your Fears
Hello Friends, It feels good to be sitting down to write again. The last time I wrote in this space, I was preparing to leave on sabbatical to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain on a pilgrimage. My backpack was spread across the guest room bed, packing cubes scattered everywhere, and my mind was busy trying to think of…
What If Saving a Marriage Isn’t Your Job Alone?
Hello again friends! As we move into June and warmer weather I’ve been thinking of shedding extra layers and I don’t mean just clothes. I mean the heavy things we carry that we were never meant to hold – especially in our marriages. We have all felt the pressure to do a little better, try a little harder, be more…
Dear Mom: How to Lead Your Daughters Through the Wreckage of Betrayal
Morning friend, Italy is amazing. What a privilege to spend this quality, special time with each one of my granddaughters. We’ve been playing Monopoly Deal together on the beach when our feet are too tired to do any more walking. So fun. Being able to influence and impact the next generation of young women is one of my favorite things…
Am I Being Too Sensitive To His Words?
Good morning, friends! This month invites a different pace of life. For me, I hope to spend more time outside alongside all of the other Michiganders who are being drawn out by warm sun, blue skies and beautiful vegetation. My son and I pulled my paddleboard down from the garage rafters before he set off to pick up a fishing…
Trust the Journey When You Can’t See the Road
Morning friend, I’m heading to Italy with my 13 year old granddaughter. We’re stopping in Rome, getting a big picture tour of the city, taking a cooking class at a family home and of course shopping, which is a necessary part of any 13 year old girl’s vacation. Later in the week we’ll be heading to the Amalfi coast to…
The Hardest Kind of Love: When Staying or Leaving are Both Hard
Morning friend, I’m pondering a verse in 1 John 4:16: “God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.” The Bible tells us that God is love — that is his essence, his being. Everything God does is in love, with love, by love. Yet if we’re honest, we don’t always feel…
When Apologies Fall Short: What Real Repair Looks Like
Good morning, Friend, Have you ever been hurt by someone, only for them to expect you to move forward as if nothing happened? Most of us know that ache. It’s the apology that never comes—the painful moment that gets brushed aside—leaving you wondering if it will happen again. When there’s no honest repair, trust can’t be rebuilt, and the wound…
