Preparing Our Hearts for a Review of “Through a Man’s Eyes” by Shaunti Feldhahn and Craig Gross

July 31, 2015 by

14

Shaunti Feldhahn is one of my favorite authors. She is a social researcher and Christian author who does large scale, statistically accurate surveys of men and women to discover how we think and relate to each other. What a blessing to the Body of Christ! Her book, “For Women Only,” was the book that most […]

I Feel So Alone Spiritually

July 5, 2015 by

14

Here’s the honest truth, my precious sisters – we will ALL feel this way many times if we are looking to people to meet our spiritual needs. Whether I am married to a godly man or I am single, I will face seasons – maybe even years or decades – of feeling like I am […]

Combating Loneliness

May 14, 2015 by

8

  We ALL face loneliness in this life. Whether you are an 8 year old girl in a neighborhood with very few children (like our daughter), or a middle school student anxious to find a group of friends, or the “new student” in your high school, or going away to college and not knowing anyone, […]

Radically Change Your Reality

April 16, 2015 by

17

Our daughter and I watched a show with a cat behaviorist, Jackson Galaxy, together last week. The cat owner was a famous young woman who often tweeted about her cat and used some dreadful names for him in her tweets. Galaxy said something so profound: Words have power. What you speak becomes your reality. He […]

A Lightbulb about Loneliness

From a precious single sister in the Lord who is in her 30s: I have been thinking about loneliness and being single and I realized something that was profound to me. I am not the loneliest when I am the least surrounded or the least social. I am the loneliest when I am harboring sin […]

Thankfully, God Doesn’t Need “Space”

March 30, 2015 by

4

This week, on my blog http://www.peacefulwife.com, we are examining a topic that is VERY difficult for many wives – giving space to their husbands. I think that is pretty counterintuitive to a lot of us as women, because many of us get married because we DON’T want to have space. We want constant emotional/spiritual/verbal connection. […]

From a precious Christian sister who is currently single and in her 30s: It’s Thursday night. You’ve had a productive day at work; you’ve met deadlines with time to spare, put out fires left and right, found a mistake that everyone has been searching for, for months. You’ve hit the gym and killed your 4th […]

I Like to Be in Control

February 5, 2015 by

    By a single sister in Christ. I’m so thankful for her willingness to share: WHO IS YOUR MASTER? For months this question has run through my mind daily and hourly. If I am being honest, sometimes it runs thru my mind much more than I care to admit. It is a reminder question, […]

Unlearning the Ungodly Example of a Controlling, Disrespectful Mother

January 23, 2015 by

27

  Unfortunately, some of us learned to be controlling and disrespectful by the poor examples of our mothers. If we have witnessed a dominant, type-A, perfectionistic, manipulative, overly emotional, resentful, bitter, controlling, fearful, anxious, disrespectful wife and a passive, unplugged father for 20+ years – these dynamics can seem “normal” and “right.” These moms did […]
