Cold and flu season can be an opportunity to acknowledge our neediness and turn to the Savior who brings us true healing.

When the shame of a past abortion confronts us anew, we find a sure hope and comfort in the blood of Jesus.

Delighting in God’s good gifts even in suffering doesn’t negate our pain—it helps sustain and guide us through it.

Christ’s example of grief helps us make space for both joy and sorrow to live together in our hearts, even through the devastating loss of a child.

God offers us healing from our painful pasts not only so we can grow as mothers and be a blessing to our children, but because he delights to make us—his children—whole.

God used the curse, to break the curse.

I cannot protect my children from everything. But I can point them to the one who can.
