In Him we live and move and exist.
People often say to me they don’t know “how I am so strong” after all the difficulties that our family has endured the last seven years. I’m not strong... I have simply chosen to believe. My strength is only in faith. In the beginning of Carson’s illness, the only thing God said to me was ... VIEW POST
If you clicked on this because of the title, I want to be clear before you read on ... this is about the benefits of long-term trauma IF we handle it in a good way. FOR SURE there is a bad way to handle it. I tried that for a while. From experience I can tell you that it’s not a path you want to ... VIEW POST
For seven years, Easter has been the most difficult holiday for me to endure. You’d think the hardest would have been the time we spent Christmas in the hospital (2015) or Thanksgiving in the hospital (2016) or the five Fourths of July’s or the four of my own birthdays also in the hospital. While ... VIEW POST
HOPE is one of my favorite subjects, you can probably tell. Maybe it's because it's such a personal journey of mine, maybe it's because we need an antidote for the overwhelming hopelessness in the world. Think with me for a second, about what it was like when Jesus lived here. There was ... VIEW POST

I write out of obedience, because God wants the story documented before such a time as He brings the victory. A few months ago I told you about the cause of Carson’s illness. You can ... VIEW POST
I had a weird compulsion to buy new furniture and I didn’t know why. We have three college-age kids, not enough cars for all the drivers in the house, and have been chipping away at a mound of medical debt. New furniture was not on any list of priorities. No dedicated Dave Ramsey follower would ... VIEW POST
My name is Bryn and I hate grocery shopping. And cooking. Also planning food, worrying about food, providing food for gatherings, reading recipes about food, being responsible for food. This is a dilemma, because unfortunately the need for eating food comes with alarming regularity, ... VIEW POST
First, a quick review — in Part 1 we talked about true wholeness being more than simply bodily health. The wholeness that God intends for us includes health and peace in all three areas of spirit, soul (mind + emotions) and body. Working on each takes conscious effort, usually it's a ... VIEW POST
For months now, God has been speaking to me about healing and wholeness, as He sees it. In fact, I’ve received whole downloads from His Spirit while sitting in the hospital with my very ill son for days on end. It contradicts the logical mind. Clearly I don’t understand everything, but He is ... VIEW POST
I prayed, expecting something to happen. I put myself out there for the 2264th time. I stood in faith, made declarations, clutched my Scriptures. God didn’t come through. At least not the way I hoped He would. Yet I knew He wanted my expectation. Which seems cruel. I mean, what kind ... VIEW POST
