A Purpose for the Pain
No one likes to experience pain. it’s, well, painful. While pain is unavoidable in this life, God has given us the promise that our pain is neither permanent nor purposeless.
Right Beside Me
We all have people we look up to, godly people who have mentored us and discipled us. But as Elisha found out, we cannot keep our “Elijahs” in our lives forever. What happens when we find ourselves facing life without a beloved mentor?
Stepping Forward, Scaling Back
The transition from the school year to summer break is always a time when I have to stop and seek the Lord about what He wants me doing. This is a bit of a Learning Ladyhood update, combined with some thoughts about how God views our steps when we allow Him to be our Guide.

To show the love of God to others is a foundational part of the Christian life. But just as not everyone responds to God’s love, there are times when our best attempts at loving others the way God loves will not work out the way we wanted.
What do we do when love makes enemies instead of friends?
The First Step Down the Path of Disobedience
As a Christian, I want to serve God. I want to walk with Him down the path of obedience and blessing, but sometimes I find myself far down the wrong path. Where does it all begin?
Hard Things
Our culture seems to revolve around making things easy. But even though the things that make life easier are not necessarily bad, we can quickly become wrapped up in the idea that nothing should be hard. But what does the Bible say about it?
Importunate Prayer
In Luke 18, God gives an example of prayer that can only be described as annoyingly persistent. This kind of importunate prayer is something God desires from His people.
