The Cold Snap | More on Lies and Redemption
Today, I've got a follow up to yesterday's post about how dispelling lies has helped me reclaim my life and walk out of a long-term struggle against depression and anxiety. In addition to identifying lies and taking the time to properly address them, I've also learned...
Dispelling Lies, Reclaiming Life
Do you know anything about drafts? Not military drafts, or drafts of a paper. I'm talking the icy cold drafts that sneak into your home through even the tiniest gap. I do. I know more than I'd care to. Stopping drafts was my first major project here at Acorn House. In...
Why I’m Ok Living Out of a Suitcase | God Led Intentionality
Last night Derek and I were talking on the phone. Because that's what we do now. That, and FaceTime. But usually our FaceTime calls are a little distracting because someone (with adorable, chubby fingers) thinks he needs to hold the phone the whole time...then it...
Kind Intentions
Today I'm sharing some of the most impactful things I have learned while studying Ephesians 1. I'd love it if you told me what most affected you from this chapter! Season One I really like TV. I know I probably shouldn't say that. Because "good" Christians don't watch...
Going in With Grace
It's January 21st. So technically we are already well in to 2019. Side note: every year when I type up that new digit I think...how did we get so far from the 90's??! On the outside I'm getting permanent creases in my forehead and more and more removed from all things...
Who Can Be Wise | Studying Proverbs
Let's talk about being wise. A couple weeks ago I told you about a study in Proverbs I've been leading locally. I shared the intro to Inductive Bible Study at that time too. And lemme tell you. I'm loving every minute of it. Seriously, I'm finding it so fun! To me...
Red Hot Heart Buttons | Letting God Transform Our Weaknesses
If you've met me for even half a minute, I've likely told you that I hate moving. Like I hate it with a capital H. Which is really too bad, because the life I find myself in requires moves. And lots of...
Quiet Time Journaling and God in Sweet, Clear Hindsight
Journaling Today I'm talking about journaling. I've even got a FREE PRINTABLE for you to help you get in the habit of journaling. If you, like me want to journal...but seem to always fall off the train after a few weeks. You can go straight to the printable here. Or...
The Long Way Around (avoiding God’s calling and remembering God is faithful)
Today, the first time I've written in months and months, I wan't to talk about God's calling. **I've recorded this post so your ears can read it instead of your eyes. You're welcome.*** But first...simply cannot believe it's January. And not only that, but midway...
Hello Again
It’s been a while since I’ve written…the site has been totally revamped and I think you’ll love it. This (re)introduction tells the story of how the new site came to be and how to use its resources.
Praying for Trials
Last night I attended a weekly prayer meeting at church. To say that I'm glad I went would be an understatement. There are a million reasons why I loved it so much. And I've written and rewritten this post, trying to include them all. But, I can't seem to...
Trying to Make Fruit | Fruit of the Spirit
If you know me in real life you probably know that of all my activities and goings ons, youth group is one of my favorite. I just love encouraging high schoolers in their walk with Christ. After being away for so long, finally going back to youth group last night...
