“He wounds, but his hands make whole.” Job 5:18 (NKJV) “Lord, I don’t know how to pray. I don’t know what to ask for.” Overwhelming emotions clouded my mind; my thoughts were racing. I didn’t know what to ask for. I just knew I was falling apart. “Jesus, help me.” And so, my unraveling began.

“Shh!” I hear the Lord’s gentle rebuke as my urge to respond takes over my ability to reason. The better choice would be to stop talking and take a breath, but a compulsive need to offer my unsolicited advice to this difficult and unreasonable man-child of mine seems to control my frontal lobe. Perhaps, convincing him I am right and he is wrong is my drug of choice. I feel better when I speak my mind, even if I am being tuned out. But, there is no reasoning with a fool and, l

(This month's blog is written by guest writer Tracy Hagler, who shares her experience of keeping her faith in the middle of difficult circumstances.) Our society tends to place so much value on appearance and image. We see millions of highlight reels, that just don’t quite add up to real life. We often see an illusion of someone else’s life and not reality. We see the perfect mom, the perfect husband, the perfect kids, the perfect career, the perfect home, the perfect exercis

“Stand firm, and you will win life.” Luke 21:19 Looking Back Reflecting back on this past year, I felt I didn’t make the progress I hoped for. My own health issues and subsequent surgery, my son’s mental health breakdown, and grieving the death of my mother had the cumulative effect of leaving me feeling that all I really managed to do was tread water. As far as reaching any of my goals, sadly, it seemed all I really accomplished was wasting precious time, effort, and money
