Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
I like mysteries—specifically movies with mysteries. I’ve enjoyed many Hallmark mysteries over the years, but finding non-Hallmark mysteries without content issues is hard. That’s why I was so pleased when I learned about The Thursday Murder Club. Although it’s not a Hallmark mystery, it sounded like a good movie overall. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
I can’t believe it’s been over three months since I last published a poem. That one was tied to a specific verse—Psalm 34:8—but this one is based on several verses from Psalm 139. It’s about how intimately God knows us. It’s short and simple, but hopefully, it’s a reminder of His wonderful love.
Last year, I shared a post about a Bible study plan I wrote for YouVersion (which you can find on my Freebies page). But I actually wrote another Bible study plan for YouVersion, and it's now available to access (and it's free)! This plan—entitled This Is Not Your Home: A 3-Day Devotional on 2 Peter 3—is designed to help believers have hope in the present, knowing their future home isn't in this broken world.
It’s perfectly normal to feel deflated when someone criticizes you (or something that you’ve done). Receiving negative feedback can be really hard, even when the person giving it has the best of intentions. That’s why I want to offer you some guidance on how to receive it well. So friends, here are three biblical ways to deal with criticism.
Today's post is from a blogger friend of mine, Ellie McCracken. She's passionate about inspiring girls to thrive in their relationships with God—as you'll see when you read her post! Enjoy, friends!
Hi friends! It's been a while since we've had an interview on TTT, so I know you're going to love this new interview with Debbie W. Wilson. She's an author friend of mine who is preparing for the launch of her book, Little Strength, Big God! Keep reading to learn more about her writing journey, as well as her suggestions for growing writers.
As Type A girls, we often sacrifice the health of our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls for the accomplishment of our goals. But God clearly cares about rest, which means we should, too. Here are five reminders (and corresponding Bible verses/passages) that will hopefully encourage you as you set aside time to rest.
Today's post is super special because I have an announcement about a free new resource for you! My devotional You Are Not Alone: A 5-Day Devotional on 1 Peter 5 is now available on YouVersion! I encourage you to check it out, use it, and grow in your understanding of the presence of God and the church in your life, especially during trials and temptations.
Normally, this is the day that I would post a written encouragement to you about celebrating Thanksgiving (even if it's hard to celebrate this year, even if you don't feel like expressing gratitude, etc.). But to spice up your Thanksgiving week (*inert chuckle at my attempt to be punny*), I wanted to share this 90-second video with you in preparation of this holiday. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
