Family Wounds Are Slow to Heal
Family wounds are slow to heal. I hope your childhood was a happy time when your parents kept everyone fed, safe, and chuckling.

I Can’t Do That
Recently a friend replied to me via voice-memo text about one of her dreams. She said, “I have no idea if I could do something that big. Because of this, I just feel like giving up and not doing that small next-thing to get there.” I thought about what she said. She saw the end-goal as her breakthrough. But, with love, I challenged her to see her small next-step goal, accomplished, as the real breakthrough. Then, to just keep moving her feet with these “little things”. I believe it is “faithful movement” God loves to see. Obedience is breakthrough. If we do what He asks, one day He’ll take us “there” —…

When you experience… The post What Do You Do When It Storms? appeared first on FaithGateway.

Thinking About the People Who Have Hurt You
We are all imperfect. We’re filled with flaws, some little and some big, and these flaws are a large part of what makes us human. But these imperfections lead us to do things to each other that we shouldn’t do, even when we know we’re doing the other person harm. Hurt people hurt people….

The Power of Words
Our words have power. Perhaps, you hear those words-of-old still reverberating within you. . . You’re SO __. You’ll always be ___. You’ll never ___. You’re such an ___. No matter who you were – a child, a dreamer or vulnerable one, negative words like these can hurt us. They don’t always have to be spoken to be damaging, either. A picture or a face can say in a moment what the thousand-word put-down could never say. Recently, I heard a mom inform a daughter, “You’ll never get that award for good character. You’re mean like me.” Upon hearing this, my head sank down and my heart nearly cried out.…
