  • My Secret to Finding Peace in Chaos

    The morning my husband was put on life support the sun came up brightly, filling the ground with warmth. The birds chirped. It was August, and the earth carried on like it always does. But my soul stood still. I sat in a small room outside the ICU – the type of room they take you in so your wails from the news don’t disturb the other visitors – and I sobbed. The chaplain held my hands.

    It was on this day that found the secret to finding peace in chaos. Some thought it was denial. Some thought it was craziness. But I knew it was neither. It was simply truth, God’s truth, permeating my mind and then my soul.

    Join me today at Encouragement Cafe where I share with you the secret to finding peace in chaos.

  • When Blessings Still Don’t Bring Contentment

    You would think that driving home with a load full of baby gifts, for a baby you’ve asked God to give you for years, would bring the most contentment a person could imagine.

    You would think that after taking a mission trip to Africa where the poverty makes you look like a queen would bring unending contentment, too.

    You would think that blessings would bring contentment.

    But for me they don’t – not always anyway.

    Today I am honored to be a featured writer at Encouragement Cafe. And I would be even more honored for you to click over and read today’s devotion where I share this dilemma I run into with finding contentment.
