Sometimes I wish I could stick my head in the sand, cover my ears and tout la la la la la when certain tough or emotional situations arise. Take forgiveness, for example. That’s a tough one to offer when we’ve been wronged but stand oh-so-right, when another has been a “jerk” and we’ve been oh-so-nice,…
I look in the mirror. The eyes ~ they’re too big at times, too squinty at others. The mouth? The pencil-thin lines cause a cringe. Oh, and those thighs? Girl, I was ready to get a new pair, like yesterday. What was God thinking? I hate the reflection in the mirror. I hate me. And…
Love is My Superpower As a child, I had a strong sense of justice. I lived in a home where the scales tipped heavily down in one direction, and I thought it was my job to defend the defenseless. I pushed and shoved in hopes of righting a wrong. What I realized after many rancorous…
Flying With a Broken Wing by Walinda Alleman I’m excited to open wide the blog’s doors to fellow COMPEL Training and critique group member Walinda Alleman.

It’s been a joy getting to know her. I hope you feel the same after seeing this glimmer of Jesus in Alisa. Enjoy! For you didn’t…
Trials are stinky, aren’t they? But God uses our trials to grow us. He deems them necessary for our spiritual growth, however. Sometimes it’s simply difficult to wrap a girl’s mind around that one, isn’t it?! I had my own trial amid an unwanted relocation a couple of years ago. Boy, was I surprised at…
Mothering and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the idea of being a good mom. I want to be one. But there’s a struggle and underlying uncertainty with each attempt. I simply don’t feel good enough. And I hate it. It’s a vicious cycle. Try. Fail. Self scorn. Mothering pity party for 1. Attempt…
