Hi, friends! I realize that today is Sunday (and that I never post on Sundays). But this post is a little different from what I usually post. This post is a challenge for all of us—including myself!

3 Ways to Help Someone Who Might Have an Eating Disorder
February 24th - March 1st is Eating Disorder Awareness Week, so I wanted to write this post as a way to raise awareness and share encouragement with you.

You Can Move On When Your Brother or Sister in Christ Sins
These people ran away from God. Maybe they’ve even confessed their sins, but their lives will never be the same because of their sinful choices.

To say that was offended would be an understatement. To say that I was furious would be more accurate.
How to Respond When You’re Rejected
I couldn't understand why Reagan ignored my offer to join us. I was curious if there was a specific reason she rejected my invitation, but I was upset that she didn't join our table.
Inefficiency Is Not a Sin
These are a few of the many ways I regularly become frustrated. Frustration is one of my common feelings because I love to accomplish things. Perhaps you can relate. And maybe inefficiency drives you crazy, too. But it doesn't need to.
