You Are Valuable by Brenda Drost
This week I had the awesome opportunity to share my story and some encouraging words with the gals over at See Hear Love. It had been a while since someone had asked me about how I came to really surrender my life to Christ. It took me back to the day… a marked day in…
Read MoreLessons from a Cadbury Creme Egg
I have a love / hate relationship with those Cadbury Crème Eggs. Like… I hate how much I love them. It is a really good thing that they only come out once a year because I cannot check out at the grocery store without getting one. Not even one time. So, it might just surprise…
Read More5 Ways to Invite Friends to Church (Without Making it Weird)
With the celebration of Easter weekend upon us, it is one of the last fledgling touch points in our post- Christian culture for unchurched people to engage with a Christian celebration.

Read MoreBravery … For Such a Time as This
The theme this week on See Hear Love is bravery. Ironically, I composed most of this blog post from the inside of an MRI machine, trying to distract myself from my aching arm (the IV would not thread) and the noise (MRIs are surprisingly loud.) For me, it’s easy to be brave when things are…

“If you like the way you look that much Then baby, you should go and love yourself.” Justin Bieber, telling it like it is. There comes a point where loving yourself and self care can become selfish. Self absorbed. Self involved. Jesus talks about “loving your neighbour as yourself”, so we can understand that we…

Read MoreFamily Matters
