The holidays are upon us, friends! Whenever I get to this time of the year, I find myself with mixed emotions—both excitement and anxiety.

Picking Up the Pieces This Thanksgiving
The other night I was in transit through the Seattle airport when I saw them—the magazines with All. The. Thanksgiving. Table. Spreads. There were several of them, displayed in a magazine rack, glossy photos of dinner and dessert that just looked so scrumptious. Even though it was past 10 PM, all of a sudden, I was hungry. Unable to resist the guarantee of the best turkey recipe ever, I bought them all. It’s the season of abundance, right? Now a few days later (with the stack of rumpled ... [keep reading]
Shine Your Light on Halloween
“I want to dress up like an angel this year so the bad guys will see me and know that I belong to Jesus.” My heart melted when my daughter said these words two months ago. Apparently Halloween was on her brain extra early this year, and costumes were of utmost importance. Of course, I couldn’t deny her wish to be an angel, so I promptly went online and bought all the supplies we would need. What amazes me about her declaration is that even at the age of nine, she recognizes the existence ... [keep reading]

How to Find Answers Amid Your Grief
It was a dark and stormy night. The doorbell rang. Why is she ringing the doorbell? I grumbled internally about my super-late 18-year-old sister. Except when I opened the door, it wasn’t my sister standing in the rain. It was two police officers, fidgeting with their hats. We all know what that means. If you’ve never experienced police officers on your doorstep, it’s hard to imagine the way your heart stops, then painfully restarts as you put the puzzle pieces together. Fifteen ... [keep reading]
Give Your Children the Grace to Make Mistakes
When it comes to parenting, I’m guessing you’re like me. I don’t like making mistakes. And when my kids make mistakes, I like it even less. Honestly speaking, I am not fond of the fact that I need to come to terms with allowing my kids to make mistakes. I like order, and I like structure. I like it when everything is perfectly planned, and it all falls neatly into place. I feel safe in that lane where order and structure flow nicely together. I’m comfortable in those environments when ... [keep reading]
Are You Afraid of Falling?
Today I saw a bird fall from the sky. You might be thinking, “Hmmm, the bird is a metaphor for something.” Nope, I actually saw a bird crash from the sky to the road in front of me. I live in Indiana, and the roads stretch out before me as I drive into an endless flat horizon. I am constantly driving along these roads to my children’s school, the store, the gas station, and doctor’s appointments. I’m cautious but not particularly worried about hitting something because I can literally see ... [keep reading]
