How Your “Quiet Time” Becomes an Idol
How would you define an idol? Having grown up in church, I know all of the stories about the Israelites and their idols: the golden calf, the foreign gods, even Dagon, the idol that bowed down to the Ark of the Covenant (1 Samuel 5). When we think of idols in this...

Beauty Trumps Pretty Hands Down
Is your confidence rooted in your appearance? Do you find that your mood is better when you're having a "good hair day"? Or maybe your worst days are when you step on the scale? My beautiful friend and colleague, Tammy Hickey, describes how we can flip the script and...
Book Review: Cultivate by Lara Casey
Do you get that feeling in the pit of your stomach every time you see someone succeed? It might be jealousy, but more than likely it is related more to insecurity—that feeling that you should be further along in your own journey. It seemed like everywhere I...
Why You Should Do a Time Inventory
I was convicted when a friend reminded me that every time I say “yes” to one thing, I’m saying “no” to something else. If I say “yes” to spending quality time with my family, spending time in the Word, or catching up with my friends in real life, I am saying “no” to...
The Enneagram & Why I Deleted a Recent Post
You may or may not have noticed that earlier this week, I published a post to my feed about the Enneagram, and later that same day, I deleted it. I want to talk about why I felt convicted enough to do that. Let me start by giving you a little bit of my background with...
Book Review: Nourish by Katie Farrell
One of the hardest balances to strike as a Christian woman is that of taking care of my body and keeping that goal from becoming an obsession. One of my goals when I gave birth to my daughter was to make sure I didn’t contribute to the body image issues society would...
How To Pray during this Crisis
As the date for this blog post was approaching, I struggled to know what to write. Our world has changed so much in the last week, and even I, who am not an anxious person by nature, can feel the tension in the air. I keep reminding myself that we have the most...
How To Recognize Distractions Disguised as Opportunities
"I am doing a great work and I cannot come down." Nehemiah 6:3 I am a multi-passionate person. In fact, I can get passionate about almost anything you throw at me. My students are often shocked about my passion for grammar, of all things. This can be a stumbling block...
Book Review: Just Open the Door by Jen Schmidt
The word "hospitality" has always intimidated me. Hospitality is definitely not one of my gifts, yet Scripture commands all of us to be hospitable. Part of my fear comes from knowing I'm not an experienced cook, and I have always equated hospitality with feeding...
How To Defeat Overwhelm
I was recently reminded that overwhelm happens for one of two reasons: You are doing more than God asked you to do, or You are trying to do it in your own strength. The first step in defeating overwhelm is to figure out which one of these two things is causing...
Do You Get Ahead of God?
How long is too long to wait for God to fulfill His promise? It seems everywhere I turn in Scripture recently, I am reminded that God's timing isn't our timing. Sarah giving her maid to Abraham to help God fulfill His promise to make Abraham a mighty nation The...
What Does “Freedom” Really Mean?
By now you probably know how much I value words. Words are powerful; they have an impact. And lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the word “freedom.” Have you ever responded to someone’s request with “It’s a free country”? Can I sit here? It’s a free country. May I...
My 2020 Word of the Year
I remember about 3 years ago when I chose my first word of the year. Until then, I hadn't really understood why people chose a word of the year. How did a word of the year even help? What I have found is it is much like setting a goal. If you're not a goal setter,...
