The Trauma Bond Behind “But I Still Love Him”
Morning friend, I spent all day Saturday in the emergency room. Still not sure exactly what’s wrong, but it’s probably a torn ligament in my knee. It’s amazing to me how our body immediately lets us know that something is wrong. A little tear, but it won’t let me ignore it. Pain forces us to pay attention. Whether physical, emotional,…
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…
Should I Remarry? He Hasn’t Changed.
Morning friend, It’s hard to believe. Christmas is next week. What is your biggest challenge showing up from your Noble self? Is it disappointment because you’re the one who makes “Christmas work” for everyone in your family but you don’t feel acknowledged or appreciated for all your hard work? Or are you alone this Christmas, miss your family or former…
Navigating the Decision to Divorce in a Christian Marriage
Morning friend, We had an amazing turn out for our webinar, Is He Really Changing or Just Pretending? I hope you downloaded your workbook and have been thinking about the questions I provided to help you discern change from pretense. We opened our doors to CONQUER, and they will remain open until Friday, October 17. If CONQUER is something you’ve…
Picking Up the Pieces: Healing After Divorce and the God Who Makes All Things New.
Last month, I shared with you that I was heading to Alaska and asked for your prayers as I stepped into what I hoped would be a time of rest, renewal, and adventure. Thank you, truly, for holding me in prayer. The trip was beautiful, breathtaking, and full of moments that reminded me how small I am and how big…
Covenant Marriage Question
Morning friend, It’s been a busy week. I’ve been pondering the idea of rest. What does that word mean to you? God tells us to take a weekly Sabbath rest. What do you do to rest? How do you break from your “normal” routine and let your body, mind and spirit remind, renew, refresh, reset? I’d love to hear your…
Must I Reconcile Now That He’s Saved?
Morning friend, I’ve been chewing on a quote for a few weeks now: It says…. “People mothered beyond fear are not so easily managed or administered or intimidated.” – Walter Brueggemann I love his use of the verb “mothered”. Have you been mothered beyond fear? What might be possible for you if you didn’t live afraid? Afraid of failure. Afraid…
Divorce Is Hard Too. Is It Bad?
Morning friend, I’m going through a good hard this month. Our kitchen, which is 25 years old, is being torn down and remodeled. As I write, I’m sitting in my bedroom listening to saws and hammers tear down our cabinets and remove flooring. All our pots and pans, silverware, dishes, spices, décor, junk drawers, and miscellaneous stuff that accumulates in…
Navigating Emotional Detachment: Is It Healthy to Hold On?
Hello, Dear Ones! I love March—it’s the only month with a built-in command: move! Something about this time of year stirs momentum, calling us out of the stillness of winter and into new rhythms, clarity, and steps forward. The days grow longer, the world starts waking up, and maybe—just maybe—it’s time for us to do the same. Whether it’s a…
