A healthy dose of rejection… None of us like rejection, but it does happen and many times as Christians it's exactly what God intends. Sharing this situation with The Bible Babes , one of the ladies gave this quote: "Rejection is many times God's protection and His redirection" I do believe everything is a God situation when something happens instead of throwing a fit, feeling like a victim or bla...

Getting to talk less and less about my late husband leaves a void.

In the midst of trouble, sadness and hardship... Confused? Wondering what's happening or how to deal? What do you do?

The truth - probably the thing we see the least these days. The good news is that the truth is available and just waiting for us to remind ourselves of it. In our drive to school today, my son read from Jesus Today by Sarah Young (as kids devotional) which is all about truth. Not sure what's happening in your life currently, but I have a feeling most of us are dealing with something or maybe a few...

If I could give advice to new-widow me... Mindy talks about what she would say to herself three years ago when Lee passed. This advice has remained true for years.

One you never want to burden others with or give them a ticket the ridicu...

Join Mindy as she shares about a chance meeting with a fellow listener and widow. So many times we wonder if what we are doing matters. Does it really encourage anyone? Does this help? Is God getting glory and is this drawing others to Him? We second guess ourselves often and when we focus on the outcome (or lack there of), we get discouraged. However, when we focus on the task, rather than the ou...
