WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS
When conflicts arise it's easier to see where the other person is at fault. Sometimes we've been wronged, and yet still God calls us to greater love.
FORGIVENESS OVER A LIFETIME
Jesus knows that forgiveness is sometimes elusive and recurring. There are some people I'm called to keep forgiving over and over.
LIVING WATER
For most of my life, I was drawing water out of the wrong well, not knowing Jesus is the living water.
FINDING MY WAY BACK TO GOD
I’ve realized that all the crosses that I bore up to this point in my life have given me the grace to know how much Jesus loves me in all I am.
“Remember the marvels the Lord has done.”
In looking back at the places where God has shown up in the past, I can be encouraged that God will continue to show up for me.
FAILING AT FLOSSING… AND OTHER EXERCISES IN HUMILITY
But if I am truly being honest with myself, how different am I from the mother in the Gospel?
WHAT WORDS EMPOWER YOU?
God's love strengthens and uplifts me to be compassionate and recognize my belovedness and that of those with whom I may be struggling.
LISTENING TO GOD’S GENTLE VOICE
Lord, help me listen to your small voice that whispers, “I am with you. You are seen, known, and loved.”
UNCHAIN MY HEART
I entrust these chains to God, asking for the strength to overcome and handle these things little by little.
THE SHADOW OF FEAR AND LIGHT OF LOVE
Jesus offers us a way to live more fully though love and mercy.
FINDING REST IN GOD
Jesus reminds us that it’s not that God made us for sabbath, but made sabbath for us.
HOLDING DOWN THE SAND
God always meets me where I truly am, which is not necessarily where I think I am or where I want to be.
THY WILL, NOT MINE BE DONE
For years, I used to have this horrible feeling that God forgot to give me the handbook to life everyone else seemed to have.
THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERYTHING
This Lent, I pray for the grace to recognize what time God is calling me to and for the grace to answer that call.
