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:
DoI give my husband one last chance or leave now?
Question: I read your blog entry for October 12th and if I didn’t know better I thought this entry came from my husband. I have been married to a man for 21 years who has frequently sought the attention of female companionship, for some of the same reasons as your October e-mailer. This has occurred off and on for the…
How to I make good female friendships? I’ve been burned.
As most of you know, I spent a week in January, pausing my life in order to refresh my spirit, recharge my batteries, and reconnect with some of my girlfriends. I had a wonderful time laughing, crying, praying, resting, exercising, and being challenged by some wise and wonderful women. I highly recommend taking some time for yourself and your girlfriends…
This week I’m pausing. Send me your new questions for next week!
In quietness and rest is your strength. Isaiah 30:15 Instead of answering a question this week I thought I’d like you know what I’m doing. There is a little word that appears at the end of certain psalms – “selah”. The exact meaning is not known but it is often interpreted to mean “pause”. The psalms were often set to…
How do I live out of who God says I am instead of how I feel?
Question: I am a Christian. I know that I believe in Jesus and that I am forgiven and have eternal life. But here is my question. I made a mistake when I was 18 and got pregnant, and then married a person who I’m pretty sure is not who God planned for me. We have been married 32 years and…
Help my wife hates me
Question: I have been married for 12 years with two kids. My wife is very angry and hardened by my past actions. She has told me we need time apart. She said that she feels a lot of hate for me and does not feel I will change. I have had this shoved in my face like a ton of…
How can I make some changes in my life? I always fail.
Did Christmas pass by us already? It seems like just last week it was Thanksgiving. Sorry I didn’t write a blog last Monday but the week crept up on me so fast I totally forgot. For all of us who spend some time making New Year’s Resolutions, I thought I’d answer a reader’s question about making some permanent changes in…
Practical Suggestions for Loving An Enemy (Difficult Person)
We had a lot of responses from last week’s question about how to deal with a difficult person with love, honor and respect, especially when you don’t trust them. So this week’s blog is a follow up to that question with some practical suggestions on how to implement loving one’s enemy or doing good for someone whom you do not…
My mother-in-law is getting to me. Help!
Before I address this week’s question I want to follow up last week’s blog about practicing God’s presence by sharing with you a metaphor that I’ve been using to help me practice abiding in Christ. Jesus used many metaphors to explain the mysterious and unknown things of God in ways people might grasp. For example, he said, “the kingdom of…
How Can I experience God more deeply?
Q. I’ve been a Christian for a long time. I believe in the Bible and have asked Jesus to forgive my sins but I want to experience a deeper spiritual life. I don’t really know what it means to practice God’s presence or abide in him. Can you help me learn how to do this? A. I know what you…
