Excuses, Updates and an ATW Guest Post

Contrary to what a lack of posts for almost a week may depict, I’m alive and semi-well.  Emphasis on semi. Our wee babes and I are all fighting colds, a sinus infection and an ear infection {nicely distributed between the three of us}.  Life is peachy!  Speaking of peaches…our little tree is dropping gorgeous, juicy peaches daily and I’ve been… Read More

At The Well: Guest Post {2 Ears, 1 Mouth}

I get that mixed up on occasion.  I tend to live the Picasso life…as though my face boasted two mouths and one little ear.  And I mean little. The book of James is a fabulous {challenging…convicting} reminder to tend to the often malfunctioning filter on my flapping tongue, and to open my ears instead… {read this guest post here}

At The Well: Guest Post {Perfect Peace}

Yes, you’ve seen this photo before!  I love it!  And I couldn’t wait until this guest post was published, so I turned it into August’s desktop wallpaper and shared it 2 weeks ago! Impatient…who me? Do you struggle with trusting God?  With every thing? With the big things?  And the small?  And the everyday, seemingly-trivial details of life? Marinade your… Read More

Scriptures for {Weary} Mums

I don’t know about you, but I need clear reminders, throughout the day, of how to behave. {Oh, be-have!} Stop laughing.  I’m serious. In the midst of upturned bowls of tomato soup, leaky diapers, sassy ‘tudes and unfinished adult conversations…I need to be reminded how to love well. With patience, compassion, kindness, grace, hope…and perseverance.  Bucket loads of perseverance. So… Read More

At The Well: Guest Post {The Ultimate Plan Review}

I’m a born list maker.  A passionate, type-A list maker. The need for uncluttered organization in my life is evidenced by the sheer quantity of baskets and totes I own.  They neatly hold my household together behind the scenes. Purging, cleaning and organization thrill me to no end.  Maybe it’s the sense of peace it provides in the daily whirl… Read More

Do Not Worry

Do Not Worry

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds… Read More

The enemy tempts us. Then shame convinces us to hi The enemy tempts us.
Then shame convinces us to hide.

But God’s first response to human failure wasn’t condemnation.
It was a question: "Where are you?"
Not because He didn’t know.
But because healing requires that we name where we are,
and freedom comes as we choose to bravely step out of hiding.

Why do we hide? Often it starts with something sma Why do we hide?
Often it starts with something small,
a moment of humiliation, rejection, or exposure.
And over time we learn how to protect ourselves.
We perform. We blend in. We build armor.

But long before any of our stories began,
God asked the first humans a question
that still echoes today: "Where are you?"

In this episode, I share a story from growing up in Namibia and explore the quiet ways shame can shape our lives, and the courageous invitation God extends to step out of hiding.
