Anger Does Not Win. Love wins.
I feel it. The control the devil has when he uses anger to disturb love. I know you have felt it too. The extreme lashing another heart takes as you expel anger onto them. Or the electric shock felt in your own heart as anger is poured out on you. Are we helpless against his…

No Rooftop Needed| Holy Hygge Marriage
There is a Proverb in the Bible that states “Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.” (Proverbs 21:9 NIV) Other translations read as contentious, brawling, and nagging woman but one translation really caught my attention: the Brenton Septuagint Translation that reads “It is better to dwell…

Touch… How Important is it?
When we are born we immediately seek touch. New born babies will cry until they are held and cuddled. The touch of another human being is so soothing and gives the baby a sense of security. It bonds them to their caregivers whether it be a birth mother and father or an adoptive mother and…

Think Carefully about YOUR Ways
I admit it, I have been down and discouraged lately about my health and my weight. In my mind I have tried and failed over and over again. I have asked myself why things aren’t working and have lied to myself to feel like I was working really hard. I felt that I was asking…

Vulnerability in the Middle
I found myself imagining the Israelites as they stepped between the raging waters as shared in Exodus. Exodus 14:29 tells us that “the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides.” I imagine it was amazing to see but quite unnerving to participate in. They had no clue…

Falling Apart Yet Held Together
My life is a hot mess at any given time of the day. Hell it’s a mess even in my sleep and if you were able to join in my dreams you would see the truth to that statement. I do not have it all together. I fall apart on a regular basis because I have a damaged heart.…
