    How to Find Freedom From Your Secret Sins

    December 2, 2020 /

    A hint of frost rests on the once-lavender heads of the Canada thistle today.  I sit at the window with intentions to soak in God’s restorative presence, but what settles upon me sends a chill down the nape of my neck, like frost on a clear winter dawn.  The chill is my body’s response to the reality that the secret sins of my life are not hidden from the One who paints the dawn with shimmering ice. Most of us have secret sins.  We want to find freedom, but we feel stuck, and we’re not sure what to do about it. Feeling Bound by Our Secret Sins Perhaps a certain…

    How to Overcome Toxic Thoughts With God’s Help

    July 10, 2019 /

    A dandelion releases her ashen fuzz to the sky, and I stand at the window to watch. The window is strong and clear, but a year ago, it was fractured into a dozen tiny lines.  I’m not proud of the moment I shattered the window with my bare hand.  Nevertheless, the incident eventually helped me learn how to overcome toxic thoughts with God’s help. Maybe it’s taken a year for me to write about this because I was ashamed I had it in me. Maybe you’ve been here, too. Perhaps you’ve yelled just a little too forcefully at your kids, lashed out a little too ferociously at that guy who…

    How to Stop Comfort Eating and Turn to God Instead

    January 16, 2019 /

    It’s 9:00 p.m. on a Thursday, and I stare at the cupboard with an insatiable appetite.  I want to learn how to stop comfort eating and find my comfort in God, but when I’m honest about it, chocolate feels more tangible at the end of a long day. Several cookies, way too many chocolate chips, and an hour later, I lie in bed and ask God to help me find freedom. The heavens are silent, and I open my Bible for inspiration. What the Bible Says About How to Stop Comfort Eating My bookmark leads me to an unnamed woman in the fourth chapter of John’s gospel as she walks to…

    3 Practical Ways to Overcome Temptation

    January 17, 2018 /

    The season of darkness has fallen, and the beige walls of the living room are creeping ever so slowly closer together with each passing day.  I need a few fresh and practical ways to overcome temptation of all sorts.  Something about these long, dark days draws me to a place where I’m tempted to return to old ways. I sit on the recliner in the 4 p.m. twilight, and I read these words: As Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Israel looked, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they became very frightened; so the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. Then they said to Moses,…
