I’m still pinching myself, but here’s some fun

I’m still pinching myself, but here’s some fun news… I signed a book contract with Christian Focus Publications this week! 🎉❤️

Getting here has been a roller coaster of emotions. At first, I was overwhelmed and doubtful I could write a book proposal. Then, I was nervous about letting others read it. I wondered if I would find an agent (I didn’t), then disappointed by rejection (I had several).

But God. Those two wonderful words.

He had a plan for me and this work, and Christian Focus believed in my idea. I’m humbled and nervous but mostly excited about what’s in store. (Like I said, it’s been a roller coaster of emotions.)

I’m thrilled for this opportunity, but I feel the weight of this task, my many limitations, and my desperate need for grace. I need SO MUCH GRACE, so would you please pray for me? The road ahead will be long, but I know the Lord will provide. But God.

Thank you, friends!

(If you’re wondering what the book is about, it’s about pursuing holy leisure. Of course. 😉)

Staring at a blank page is one of the most frustra

Staring at a blank page is one of the most frustrating aspects of writing. Internally, you run through a series of questions and answers that sometimes help you get started and sometimes paralyze you with doubt. Even the blinking cursor seems to mock you as it waits for words to fill the page.

Writers who desire to honor the Lord in their craft are not immune to these struggles. We long to create something good, true, and beautiful, but it rarely comes easily.

Sometimes, we need clarity about what we're doing and why; other times, we need encouragement from a friend who understands.

In this week's article, I attempt to offer you both: help to figure out the who, what, when, where, why, and how of writing and a community of friends who know and understand the struggle is real.

Are you looking for a new (quick) devotional serie

Are you looking for a new (quick) devotional series?

I've been studying 1 Peter this summer, and I'm in awe of the encouragement it's been to my sojourning soul.

Observing the world lately, I'm more aware that this is not my real home.

1 Peter was written to early Christians scattered throughout Asia Minor.

Peter called his beloved readers “elect exiles” because they were suffering for their faith and longing for their heavenly home.

Desiring to encourage them to live victoriously while trusting the Lord, he identified three living things they had in their sojourning.

You also have these things, Christian: a living hope, the living Word, and the living stone–Jesus Christ himself.

Join me on this 3-day overview of 1 Peter on the YouVersion Bible App.

hey friend, Are you weary, tired of waiting on Go

hey friend,

Are you weary, tired of waiting on God to “fix” your husband? Are you fed up after years of praying that he’ll change? Do you secretly compare him to other, more godly husbands?

Consider one of your favorite life verses in light of your marriage. Phil 1:6 assures us that God is the force not only in saving, but in sanctifying and one day glorifying both your believing husband and YOU!

I’m honored to have my words on @desiringgod today. SDG! 🙌🏻

There was a time when I didn’t know if I’d ever be a mom, but I’m filled with gratitude for what God has done. And I’m so thankful for my mom and her godly example to us all! Happy Mother’s Day, friends! 💐

“He emptied himself."

Does the phrase ring a bell? 🔔

You might've heard it or read it from what we call the "Christ Hymn" in Philippians 2:6-11. Paul tells us that in eternity past, Jesus laid aside his divine rights and privileges to be born in the likeness of men and to be found in the form of a servant. HE EMPTIED HIMSELF. 🫙

This season is one of desiring to be filled, but often finding ourselves emptied, again and again.

Dear friend, if that sounds like your experience, you're in good company.

He who laid aside unimaginable wealth and privilege and came humbly as a baby to one day die for sins began his incarnation by emptying himself.

It's the most beautiful phrase for the most amazing act. ❤️

Come to the self-emptying Savior and find in him the fullness you want and need this Christmas.
