7 Psalms for the Depressed Woman

Living With Purpose: Week 5
Week 1: Silent Seasons Week 2: Seasons of Blessings Week 3: Seasons to Stop Week 4: Seasons of Uncertainty And now for Week 5: Seasons When You Feel Shattered As a teenage girl I knew what it felt like to feel shattered. On the first day of school, a boy who I really liked, asked me to go to the biggest event of the school year. One day after lunch, he asked if we could talk. Right there in the middle of the lunch room he ripped out my heart and told me we would have more fun with
Loneliness, Loss, and Love
Life has a way of making us think about what really matters most. As we gathered yesterday to practice for our annual Christmas concert, there was another gathering going on not far from us.

When Life is Overwhelming and Strength is Gone
Sometimes the struggles of life take us under and sweep us away into unknown depths we have never experienced. You want to be strong, have faith, and smile through the storm, but tears, unknowns, and difficult scenarios bombard your mind faster than your faith can respond. We all have those seasons. For some it’s the loss of a loved one who seemed to hold the family together, for others it’s separation in a relationship that has held on for years. Perhaps it’s the words of a doctor that swirl inside your heart until you cannot handle another word. When life
When Life Changes With One Word – Cancer
When I looked at the September calendar every week was filled to the brim with events and activities. I braced myself for a busy month and stood at the starting line ready to run. Before the first week came to an end, my plans were altered, my heart was heavy, and everything normal had to be set aside. When I got the call that confirmed my dad’s cancer, the weight of every letter of that word pounded deeply within my chest with a huge question mark at the end. C-A-N-C-E-R-? My heart hurt.
