Good morning... From another state, she texted me a screen shot of a book page, sharing a dynamic devotional message from yesterday morning. She had no idea that sitting on my bedside table is the exact same daily devotional book, Paul David Tripp's New Morning Mercies. Since the words of wisdom resonate so profoundly with my faraway friend [...]
Good morning... Her dear friend quickly became her quiet enemy. She was hoping for one thing, closeness, connection, and collaboration, and she received the opposite, distance, disconnection, and disappointment. Facing a weekend she dreaded, her heart was filled with jealousy and frustration, anger and angst. This is when God dropped a perfect podcast onto her path. Feeling cared for [...]
Good morning... "Hi Sue," she wrote after yesterday's widely viewed post. "What I really love about today’s post is that this unknown Alabama resident was mentally/physically wrestling with anxiety while you were at the wrestling duels! My son wrestles too and I was in Macon that weekend as well." She explained: "Think about how hard these athletes work for [...]
Good morning... A few weeks back, when I was sitting in the Macon Coliseum watching our son and his teammates wrestle in the State Duels team tournament, I received an unusual text. "Hi Sue. I was given your number through someone else. My name is _____ and I could use a lot of help." "Hi ____," I texted [...]
Good morning... She was worried about her child and the repercussions of a poor decision. Filled with anger and anxiety, her heavy hurting heart pulled her into prayer. "God, please help me as I work with my son," she laid out each facet of fear. After pouring herself out to the very last drop, into her void came [...]
Good morning... "It’s the unknown which God's enemy uses to create fear, worry, anxiety," she quietly shared. Once we accept life as it is, uncertainty and all, we can face God's opponent saying with confidence, "You meant to hurt me, but God turned your evil into good to save the lives of many people, which is being done" [...]
Good morning... "God, why did I scarf down three cookies?" became my deep prayer after my impulsive episode. I must tell you, these were not tiny Girl Scout cookies. These three cookies were mammoth mommas. "What was going on in me?" Fear, worry, anxiety. I faced a hard phone call. I didn't know exactly what to say, how [...]
Good morning... "Good evening, my dear friend Sue," he wrote after our recent posts about the turbulent turmoil and torment swirling around and within us. "I hope you are fully recovered after your illness earlier in the week. I read with interest your messages these past two days. You are right. We live in challenging times. But our loving [...]
Good morning... The Spirit of God continues to speak. Isaiah 50:10b-11 (NIV) sheds more Light on this portion of our path. Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God. But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your [...]
Good morning... Turmoil stirs us from sleep. Deep hunger and homelessness litter our streets. Senseless violence and the threat of war push us to the brink. Fires of all kinds blaze around our globe, and we are witnessing the third-ever impeachment of a President in the history of our deeply divided United States. This is just a fraction [...]
