When You Wish You Had a Different Story | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When my son, Steven, was little, that was one of his favorite requests. Whether we were riding in the car, waiting for a haircut, or settling down for bedtime, he wanted a story. But there was one requirement: Steven had to give me the first line. “Okay, buddy,” I’d say. “What’s the first sentence?” Everybody loves a good story, but not everybody loves their own story. Some pages are painful to remember. Some chapters make us wonder, Why did this have to happen? Others leave us wishing we could
I Never Want to Be That Bitter Old Woman | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever heard someone say, “She’s just a bitter old woman.” I have. And whenever I do, I know exactly what the person means. The image comes instantly to mind—a woman whose smile has been replaced by a scowl, whose conversations are peppered with complaints, and whose heart seems trapped in yesterday’s hurts.

Read excerpt
I’m writing over at Proverbs 31 Ministries tomorrow and thought you might enjoy this too. Have you ever felt invisible—like your name lingered at the bottom of the list unspoken… unnoticed…as if you were standing in the background while others were called forward? Have you ever wondered if you were somehow missed—overlooked in the choosing, forgotten in the moment that mattered? If so, take heart, dear one. You are not alone. I’ve been right there with you. There was a day when the prophet Samue
Becoming a Woman Who Listens to God and Hears the Holy in the Hurry | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do you want to become a woman who hears that still small voice and recognize that it is God’s? If so, keep reading… Fourteen exhausted, sweaty teenage boys plopped down on the bottom step of the gymnasium bleachers—my son being one of them. The assistant Junior Varsity basketball coach paced back and forth, lecturing them on the error of their ways. In the style of Sergeant Carter addressing Gomer Pyle, he yelled, “Who’s talking?” The boys, in practiced unison shouted back, “You are, sir!” For t
