Why Marriage Won’t Complete You

What I wouldn’t give to go back to the final scene in the movie “Jerry Maguire” and change Tom Cruise’s romantic line, “I love you…you complete me!” WHY? Because it’s unhealthy and untrue. There. I like that line a lot better. It’s so unfair how the movies that make us swoon and tear up with sweet emotion often carry messages that leave us confused when we do fall in love. 1. Your Spouse Cannot Complete You.… … Continue reading

The One Lie You Believe That Keeps You From Being Confident

She has got it all. You know the girl. The one with perfectly manicured nails, the flawless makeup, the body that looks like she never leaves the gym, and the man who seems like prince charming on her arm.

Making Peace with My Flaws

I realized recently that when I am done building a piece of furniture, I stand there and look at it.  I’m proud of what I have accomplished.  I look at all the details and think back to the problems I had to solve to make this piece turn out the way it did.  I will run my hands over it, feeling the smooth texture and remembering the rough, splintery wood that used to be there. … … Continue reading

Here is How I Know God Cares About What is Stressing You Out

  Life is too much sometimes. In those moments when our hearts are stressed or hurting, we can either bring it to God or try to handle it on our own. I’ve been in a “handle it on my own” kind of season. I didn’t know why I just keep pushing through and going on my own when God promises to bear our burdens, except that deep down I think maybe my problems are so trivial… … Continue reading

If Jesus Had a Blog: So I Had a Very Long Day

WOW… exhausting day. Long story short: I was in the temple courts, and the leaders tried to trap me in front of people. They brought in a woman, and announced they’d caught her WHILE committing adultery. They wanted to kill her right then and there… because that’s what the rules say.
