When God Sends You Down the Craft Aisle

Two thoughts immediately come to mind at the title of this post: 1) It's too long. That will mess with whatever searches people do that might bring up my post. 2) It's almost laughable. Many of us love going down the craft aisle! But I like this title and I'm sticking to it. I'm not… Continue reading When God Sends You Down the Craft Aisle

When You Feel The Most Alone

Loneliness screams. It is not a silent, sneaky thing that gradually envelops you over time. You can think that you are happy, that you are doing well, and then loneliness begins its shrill keening.

Putting The Puzzle Back Together

I have always been a passionate person. When I was three or four, I told anyone who would listen that I was going to go to Central Bible College when I grew up.

Best Not To Assume

I had originally planned that my first blog post back would be about something else - and that post is still coming - but yesterday I learned an important lesson...again. It's one I've learned many times before, but I seem to have difficulty getting it through my thick skull. I had been corresponding by email… Continue reading Best Not To Assume

It’s Okay To Feel Discouraged

Yesterday was not a bad day. It was my day off and I was able to get some things done before snagging a nap. I even got to talk to my mom for a little while (Hi, Mom!) Around 3 in the afternoon, I started to feel really discouraged. God has been providing for us,… Continue reading It’s Okay To Feel Discouraged
