The forgiveness lie Christian women believe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You can forgive someone and still be living with what they broke.The marriage may still be over. Your child may still not be speaking to you. The friendship may still be gone. Your finances may still be affected. You may still walk into church and feel that knot in your stomach because of what happened there.Forgiveness doesn’t automatically put everything back the way it was.And I think that’s where some of us start questioning ourselves.If I’ve forgiven them, why am I
I Forgave Them… So Why Does It Still Hurt? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if it still hurts? What if they never apologize? What about trust, repeated sin, boundaries, justice...and what does God actually expect from us?Every month I choose a new topic for our Scripture Writing Plan in my FB Community, and usually toward the end of the month I ask the women in my community what questions they have about whatever we’re studying next.

The relationship ended. The conversation is over. The decision was made. The thing happened months or even years ago, and yet somehow it can still ruin a perfectly good Tuesday.Maybe you replay what they said and think about what you should have said back. Maybe you check their page, reread an old message
😳 How Much of Your Life Does This Pain Get to Take? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m going to say something that might sting a little, but I think some of us need to hear it.Just because something hurt you deeply does not mean it gets unlimited access to your mind, your day, your joy, and every good thing God is still giving you.I am not telling you to “get over it.” Please don’t hear that. Some things change us. Betrayal changes you. Losing someone changes you. Watching your child make terrible choices changes you. A marriage falling apart changes you. Praying and praying a
