52 Little Lines with Big Benefits

The weight of our words carry the very power of life and death in their grasp. We have the ability to make or break the little lives that have been entrusted to us. But sadly, and too often, hurtful, thoughtless, harsh words tumble from my lips.  And sure enough, it is my precious children who see and hear the worst… Read More

Guest Post: Inner Fulfillment

The Lessons Wii Learn

She stands.  10 little toes perched sweetly atop my new cutting board. Sure, it was intended for chopping veggies on, but it is fast becoming the cutest balance board on the block. She’s ready and rearing to go.  It’s time for our weekly Wii date, and it’s quite possible I’ve grown to enjoy this date even more than she.  It’s… Read More

Messy.

The vacation bag sits.  Unpacked. Totes still sit, in this corner and that, filled with papers, cords and frames without a home.  Sitting, since our move last May. Dust collects.  Colonies of bunnies abound. Handprints multiply on unwashed windows, giving an almost 3D appearance to the greasy forms. Dirty laundry piles grow outside of laundry baskets.  Clean laundry usurping their… Read More

Audience of One

I love discovering things I’m good at. Like eating…in private {in the wee hours of the morning}.  Speaking…in public.  Baking…oatmeal.  Designing things with polka dots and swirls.  Dancing to Owl City in my pajamas.  Kissing boo boos.  Writing deep thoughts about venison.  You know, the important stuff. And as it turns out, I’m not too fond of not being good… Read More

Faith, Grace, Guest Post, Keepin' it Real

Ek-spek-tey-shuhn

Real friendships bring out the best in you.  And, if they’re truly authentic connections with quality human beings, they will undoubtedly bring out the worst. I’ll never forget the time my best friend and I sat, puffy-eyed and frustrated, on opposite ends of my loveseat, allowing our emotions to bubble over and our disappointment in each other to surface.  We… Read More

Hiding It In My Heart

I stink at reading my bible. There, I said it. Oh, and memorizing scripture?  Ha.  I have grandiose plans to…to type up my favorites scriptures, post them around my house {on the bathroom mirror, by the kitchen sink, etc.}, and “chew” on them throughout the day… But, as I mentioned, I stink at consistently getting into The Word, and that… Read More

Easter reminds us that the tomb is empty. But befo Easter reminds us that the tomb is empty.
But before the resurrection, there was a towel.

In John 13, just hours before the cross,
Jesus doesn’t assert power, He kneels.
He washes the feet of Peter.
He washes the feet of Judas.
He loves them to the end.

🎙️ Episode 017 | The Jesus Way is live.

What does it look like to choose love in the middle
of betrayal, grief, disagreement, and struggle?
The way of Jesus isn’t flashy.
 It’s faithful.

So very thankful for the life that came from his d So very thankful for the life
that came from his death.

May you know how wildly, wholly
and wonderfully you are loved…

“This is how much God loved the world:
He gave his Son, his one and only Son.
And this is why: so that no one need be
destroyed; by believing in him, anyone
can have a whole and lasting life.
God didn’t go to all the trouble of
sending his Son merely to point an
accusing finger, telling the world
how bad it was. He came to help,
to put the world right again.”

John 3:16-17 | The Message

Boundaries are not the opposite of love. They are Boundaries are not the opposite of love.
They are often the evidence of it.

Jesus touched lepers.
He wept with friends.
He restored the broken.

But He also corrected boldly.
He withdrew intentionally.
He did not entrust Himself to everyone.

You can forgive someone
without restoring immediate proximity.
You can love someone
without giving them full access to your life.

Episode 016 | Grace + Guardrails is available now.

Love does not require unlimited access. In Episod Love does not require unlimited access.

In Episode 016 of Oh, Good Grief, we explore what Jesus
actually modeled when it comes to boundaries.

He loved everyone.
He did not entrust Himself to everyone.
He was full of grace and truth.
He welcomed the crowds, but confided in the few.

In a world that demands access to our time, energy, and heart, this episode unpacks what it looks like to forgive without naivety, love without losing discernment, and practice grace with guardrails.

Healing after betrayal isn’t linear. It’s messy. Healing after betrayal isn’t linear.

It’s messy.
It’s exhausting.
And sometimes it feels impossible.

In this conversation, Lisa Devine shares what it actually looked like to rebuild a marriage after infidelity: the boundaries, the brutal honesty, the forgiveness that had to be chosen again and again.

But more than anything,
it’s a story about the quiet ways God shows up
when everything feels shattered.
