A Prayer To Cease Comparing
Lord, from the outside it looks like everyone’s lives are put together and mine is the only one falling apart. Jesus, help me to honour what I have been given, to cease comparing and give my attention to the people you have given me to love. Let me stop worrying about the rest. Holy Spirit, breathe…

When I was young the trending home decoration was a bowl of perfect fruit…made of plastic. I first encountered this after our missionary family returned from the Congo where we loved fruit. Needless to say, I eagerly grabbed for a delicious looking grape to my mother’s horror. She gracefully leapt from her chair, grabbed my…
Read MoreComparison Is The Thief Of Joy
Last week my husband drove to the nearest Walmart and bought himself a flip phone. Yes – you read that correctly, an actual flip phone from 2003. He sent me a selfie as soon as he left the building. It was dark, I could hardly tell what the photo was of and it was terribly…

Taking On New Beginnings Here in Canada, our landscape has begun to change and the trees prepare for winter’s arrival.

What an honor and privilege it was to be a guest on See Hear Love! I’m not going to lie, I was SO nervous about the experience! Not only have I never been on TV, but I have only minimally shared about my journey with Bipolar. When I was diagnosed with Bipolar in 2009 and…
Read MoreThe Struggle Is Real
“I feel like I’m going crazy!” “You’re insane!” We’ve all said something like this before—to ourselves and to others. With life’s pressures—demands from work, assignments from school, everything (good and hard) about our family and friends, sudden last-minute occurrences, unforeseen tragedies, bills to pay—we’ve also feltlike we’re actually going crazy. The solution, often, is to…
