Finding Worth Beyond Busyness: A Workaholic’s Journey to Rest I’ve been thinking a lot about worth and busyness lately. This week I started reading “The Search for Significance” by Robert S. McGee. Right from the start, it opens with Psalm 139:23-24 – a verse I’ve prayed so many times: “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know
In the quiet moments between tasks, a truth has been slowly emerging in my life—one that I’ve been reluctant to face. I’m a workaholic. I always have been. And just when I convince myself I’m making progress, reality sets in. Recently, I started reading The Search for Significance by Robert S. McGee. The book opens with a prayer I’ve uttered countless
Have you ever noticed how quickly our Christian witness can evaporate the moment someone cuts us off in traffic?

At the bottom, in cheerful text, were the words “Remember to bring a friend to be a part of our special friend contest!” As I stood there in my kitchen, that simple phrase triggered a profound reflection on how we approach
Many households struggle today – not because of a lack of male presence, but because of a lack of true spiritual leadership from men.

Today we’re talking about something that’s been weighing heavily on my heart lately – how adults sometimes shame kids in group settings, and why we desperately need to stop. As a mom, I’ve seen firsthand how devastating shame-based discipline can be for our kids. Let me share a story that recently broke my heart. A mom friend’s daughter – let’s
In my small chicken coop of just four hens, a fascinating leadership drama unfolded that perfectly mirrors common workplace dynamics. One of our hens, whom we’ll call Henny Penny, temporarily left her regular duties to pursue her dream of motherhood – sitting on borrowed fertilized eggs that unfortunately never hatched. When she needed to return to her normal role, our
