Fall. That glorious season of candy corn color. Not quite here, but almost. Some folks dread summer’s fading palette, but I’ve always loved the more vibrant shades of saffron, cinnamon, and orange. Where others see death of what was, I see hope of what’s yet to come. In last year’s post, My 20 Favorite Things about Fall, I talked about God’s handiwork and how His …
Recently, I spoke with a friend who was at a low point. So much so that she said, “I quit. I’m giving up.” “You can’t.” I told her. “I won’t let you. You’ve got this.” “But you don’t understand, Cindy. It’s always been so easy for you.” (I’d been told something similar in college. Didn’t care for it then, and I still don’t now.) …
No, I didn’t forget about my blog post on Wednesday. I’ve been rather busy. Exhausted. Time-crunched. My mama had open heart surgery recently and things are a little up-ended at the moment. More than once in my sleep-deprived state, I’ve forgotten that I’m the apple of God’s eye and I’ve taken comfort in David’s prayer of blessing (Psalm 17:8). While I …
I talked with someone a few days ago about limitations and moving forward. This person had endured a lot of loss, hardship, and disappointment. Doors of opportunity seemed closed. She wasn’t sure if she was motivated to move beyond the barriers of her past, but by her own admission, she was ready for something to change. She needed to move past the …
I talked about this last year, but thought it might encourage you today… I think because I write, I equate a lot of life’s stages to writing. Perhaps, it’s the other way around. Writing probably intersects with various chapters of my life, too. If we think about the natural order of progression, it might not make sense to others the twists …
Do you ever get so caught up in the “must dos” of life, you sometimes forget to savor the moment? For me, especially lately, I’ve found that this is true. My life seems to be such a whirlwind right now that it can be a little tough to savor the stacks of laundry, the trail of dust, or a host of other household chores that …
I’ve been talking a lot about “God things” lately, but it truly is a God thing how He sometimes uses the little things to get our attention. And it’s these little things that make an impression in a BIG way. Take, for example, this interesting phase of life I’m in. I’ve been writing as long as I can remember. I’ve been …
How is it that we can want something so badly that we lose sight of what God wants for us? We presume to know when the right time will be, how it will happen, and what course of action we must pursue to obtain our desire. If I’d known it would take 15 to 20 years to launch a writing career, would …
Stay True Amidst Reluctance As I navigate this path to publication, I’m conflicted. During this long journey I’ve often had to put my publishing dream on hold. Raising a family, caring for a chronically ill child, working outside the home, myriad time-constraints—many writers have had to deal with this and more. At times, I think…how do they do it? How …
