Help to Overcome Discouragement

October 18, 2021 by Kristi Leave a Comment

Sunflower with Christian blog post title: Help to Overcome Discouragement

Maybe the doors weren't kicked open, and discouragement crept in. You wonder why the lost opportunity when the dream seemed so real? Maybe you even prayed for those open doors, yet they remained locked solid like a clam more than determined to hide its pearly riches. As disappointment builds, the familiar chatter often crescendos, too. Why not me, Lord? What's wrong with me? When we face this, we are in a battle to overcome Continue Reading

When Love Runs Deep (& People Hurt)

July 27, 2021 by Kristi 2 Comments

Christian blog post title with a picture of five women

Love runs deep--but we don't always notice it. And sometimes Christians hurt. See the smiles in the above picture? They don’t tell the whole story. We mamas in the picture became fast friends, as military wives often do, a decade-ish ago. Our homeschooled kids attended field trips & classes together. They played at the beach and at each other’s houses, too. I can still picture one of the boys standing in my kitchen after hours Continue Reading

What Grief Does to You

raindrops in the background with post title of What Grief Does to You

I hadn't intended on sharing this today, but then Kobe Bryant died on Sunday, thrusting many into a world of sadness and despair. It's a funny thing, what grief does to you. Grief The sports world and more reeled at the news--young and old fans alike. Another talented voice silenced. Nine in that helicopter in all. How could this have happened? What now? They--we--are faced with grief. I faced this monster after my father's death. We Continue Reading

Feeling Abandoned or Ignored? Hope Found Here

June 4, 2019 by Kristi 1 Comment

A rose with the post title about finding hope when feeling abandoned or ignored

Feeling Abandoned or Ignored? Are you feeling abandoned or ignored? Where do you find hope? Sometimes feelings sway us to feel forgotten, left alone, abandoned, or even ignored. And sometimes we set the blame with God. Other times, it lands solidly on mankind. The fleeting feeling of being alone festers within us. We may even wonder Where are You, God? During relocations or intense trials, I sometimes find myself in a swirl with Continue Reading

Do You Self-Punish? Grab This Gigantic Piece of Truth

May 21, 2019 by Kristi 4 Comments

Do You Self-Punish? Grab this Gigantic Piece of Truth. The words of Rom. 8:1 in black over a black and white photo of two flowers

Do You Self-Punish? Grab this Gigantic Piece of Truth The accuser attempts to sabotage our faith--our future with the King of kings--through smeared accusations. And sometimes we self-punish in support of this effort. I'll be honest, it's easy to "beat myself up" mentally when I fall short in a situation. It causes an internal ruckus. No one else sees it, but God does. God sees you. We run with accusations, continuing to wear them Continue Reading
