Trading Your Anxiety for God’s Peace
Does anxiety creep up on you this time of year?
Like a sneaky Halloween spider, anxiety has a habit of silently creeping into my schedule come November.
My anxieties fall into common groups like these:
- holiday decorating crammed into my full schedule
- how to get all the shopping done and paid for
- extra cooking and cleaning, when I already struggle to keep up with it…
Meetings With God
Meetings can be super productive, but they can also be long and boring. I enjoy face-to-face interaction in meetings, but I also like getting to the point. I have mixed feelings about meetings…how about you?
Some managers I’ve worked with have not led meetings very well. If there is no clear agenda, a meeting quickly falls flat. Others want to talk, talk, and talk more than execute. You need a good balance of listening, talking and brainstorming to have a productive meeting…

A Mountaintop Experience With God
What if God called you to a mountaintop? Would you want to see Him, or would you be happy just listening to His voice?
In Exodus 34:1-35:9, Moses is on Mt. Sinai for the second time. God is inscribing a new set of stone tablets with the Ten Commandments and giving the Israelites a second chance at obedience.
Early in the morning, Moses met with God on the mountain. The Bible says God appeared in a pillar of cloud and called out His own name, “the LORD,” as Moses stood in his presence.

The Best Counselor We Can Find
Have you ever attended counseling? I spent five years receiving Christian counseling, and it was the best money I have ever spent. My counselors helped me heal from many wounds as a child of divorce and deal with my seasons of depression.
It’s been several years since my last session with a human counselor. However, I’ve learned that God himself is the very best Counselor I can find…
Though I benefited from 5 years of Christian counseling, I learned that God himself is the very best Counselor I can find. #counseling #emotionalhealth Click To Tweet
A Prayer to Number Our Days
Psalm 90:12 NIV
You could have chosen to make leaves
turn straight to brown
then fall off.
But because you wanted
to share your beauty with us
you paint the leaves brilliant colors
before winter.
Thank you that though the fall days
are short,
they brilliantly reflect your beauty…
Gratitude in the Valley of Shadows
I woke to the luscious scent of purple irises. I had placed a vase of them on my nightstand in April 2015, when my husband packed his belongings and left. Those delicate flowers in my favorite color reminded me to give thanks inside a valley of shadows.
The Lord encouraged me to look for reasons to be thankful even when I couldn’t see what the future held. I began searching for thankfulness every day though my heartache didn’t relent.
As I began searching, I glimpsed gratitude in everyday moments…

Fighting a Scarcity Mindset with Christian Meditation
Have thoughts like these crossed your mind?
- I’ll never be good enough.
- No one really wants to be my friend. They just put up with me.
- There’s always too much month at the end of my money.
- There are so many people applying for this position that I don’t stand a chance.
- There’s no hope for my marriage. Divorce is the only way out.
- My children won’t listen to me. I give up.
- This is just the way I am. Change is too hard.
These thoughts are like landmines on the battlefield of your mind. When you ruminate on them over and over, you step on them again and again. You are injured each time you think on them, and your injuries keep you from moving forward. You become stuck in a spiritual battlefield of scarcity thinking.

How to Handle Toxic In-Laws
Do you have an in-law who is wreaking havoc on your marriage? While this may be a laughing matter on sitcoms, if this affects you, it’s not funny at all.
In fact, issues with in-laws can be a huge source of marital stress.
For years, this was a big problem in my marriage. The toxicity took its toll on me as I endured my in-law’s boiling-over rages, all-caps emails, vitriolic put-downs, and no ownership of past offenses.

How to Gain Victory in Your Thought Life
Our thought lives form the structure for our words and actions. Every problem we have begins in our thoughts. Since no one else knows our thoughts except God, we think we can hide them.
However, what you think in your inward life inevitably spills out onto your outward life. You can either be defeated in your thought life before you ever take action, or you can transform your thought life with the power of God’s Word. You can have victory in your thought life struggles by meditating on the truths in Scripture…
