By Diana Bala | May 13, 2026 |

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…

By Diana Bala | March 18, 2026 |

These days, I find myself wanting warm sunshine and longer days, and of course, some plans for the summer vacation and activities. I remember the days when the kids were still at home.

Morning friend, We’ve just passed a date that most women who are in destructive marriages dread. Valentine’s Day.

By LeAnne Parsons | January 7, 2026 |

Beloved Readers, There’s something about January that slows us down enough to hear what we’ve been carrying. The calendar turns, the noise of the holidays fades, and the quiet feels different. I am in Colorado Springs today as I write this opening paragraph. Outside our back door lay 3 beautiful deer. As the dawn breaks this morning, I am reminded…

Picking Up the Pieces: Healing After Divorce and the God Who Makes All Things New.

By LeAnne Parsons | October 8, 2025 |

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…
