3 Ways to Avoid Depression
Two years ago I shared my journey through some of the darkest days of my life. I gave you the inside scoop of what it looked like to be depressed and a pastor’s wife. It sounds so ugly when I put that way, but those words don’t seem to fit too well all in the same sentence. If you missed…

5 Ways to Experience God Today
It’s easy to search Google and get answers to your hardest questions. The crazy part is, we actually believe most of what we read on the internet especially if it’s one of the top five hits on our Google search. Experiencing God and His power is more than what a search engine can offer. It has little to do with…

When It’s Hard to Let Your Guard Down
Book launches are a whirlwind of hashtags and giveaways! It’s crazy what our culture has come to. No longer do we call each other on the phone and chat about what happened last week. Now we see it in real time. It’s amazing, yet I think we lose something special in the process. We lose that personal connection of hearing…

Anchored In Is Here, Along with a Giveaway!
It’s been a journey up to this point and I’m praying it continues to be more of the same. For the past two years God has prompted my heart to put words on a page: not just any words, but words filled with His power. I don’t share this to try to prove to you that my book is more…

Is God’s Power for Me?
When I didn’t make the cut, I thought surely God must have completely forgotten I wanted the part in the first place. I thought this was finally my chance to shine for Him, but the rejection of the chorus leader was proof that I didn’t have what it takes. I wondered why God led me to try out in the…

When God Feels Far Away
I knelt in my living room in frustration thinking that maybe my physical posture would prove to God that I was serious. I knew He answered prayer, so I prayed. But this time, He didn’t seem to answer my request. Over and over I begged Him; over and over I got the same response – silence. God began to feel…

How to Get Published
I’m no expert. Let’s just get that out there. Somehow I have managed to get myself published in the real world of writing. I’ll be honest: I’m still in shock! I cannot give you a step-by-step plan, but there are several people out there who can. If you are looking for a “how-to” you can find it and usually pay…

Finding Time to Write
When I first began writing, I would get up early before the kids were awake and write my heart out. Every spare moment I had, I would write, write, and write some more.
