August 19, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 3 Comments Write Where It Hurts

My sweet mother-in-law once inscribed a card with the sentiment, “You two are proof that some marriages really are made in heaven.” And while on certain days I would agree with her, on others . . . well, let’s just say that we’ve had disagreements that were not at all angelic. Those fairy tales I grew up […]

Confessions of a Writer-Mama

August 14, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore Leave a comment Write Where It Hurts

  Girl-to-girl here? There are those days when I wonder if it hurts more to push through or to watch another night fall. I’m in a unique season. A season of helping one precious to me while my own desires and dreams suspend mid-air. Days of rising {way} too early, cleaning behind little ears, and finding […]

How to Get Back Up Again

August 8, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 2 Comments Write Where It Hurts

Did you know it is possible to survive a freefall from the Willis Tower in Chicago or a skydive with a failed parachute? It will hurt, and it will take some time to heal, but it is possible. Our lives can be a lot like that freefall, but we can survive whatever challenges God puts […]

Healing Our Wounds by Stepping into Our Scars

August 5, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 10 Comments Write Where It Hurts

Life leaves scars—we all have our stories. But scars shouldn’t hurt, shouldn’t be a fresh pain. Properly healed scars are closed, insensitive to touch. A faint reminder of something that once was. I have places on my body from bike wrecks, surgeries, and maybe even a dog bite, but those wounds are healed, closed off […]

When You’re Willing to Look Past the Ugly

July 22, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 3 Comments Write Where It Hurts

I’m a book-freak—not a big television fan. But I love DIY shows {those brave do-it-yourselfers simply captivate me} and HGTV has a series called The Property Brothers that is one of my favorites. Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott come together to help folks find extreme fixer-uppers they can afford, and then transform them into the client’s […]

When Soul-Scars Convince You You’ll Never Be Enough

July 15, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 8 Comments Write Where It Hurts

Lord, I feel so cut off from everyone. Especially from you. Don’t you see what I’m going through? How can you not intervene? Can’t you help me find a way out of this pain? If you are everywhere, and can do anything, where are you in this? One morning, driving into work, my anger and […]

🌿 3 Quick Ways to Reclaim 30 Minutes TodayDo you ever feel like the clock is running your life instead of you?You’re not alone, friend. Most of us live in a time-starvation spiral — running fast, but still behind.But here’s the truth: you can create margin. Even today. Here are 3 quick ways to free up 30 minutes you didn’t know you had:✨ 1. Batch the errands.Instead of running out three times this week, combine the trips. Gas in the tank, time back in your pocket.✨ 2. Set a “faithful finish line.”Give your chores or email a timer. Tell yourself, “I’ll give this 20 minutes, then it’s done.” You’ll be surprised how much clarity comes when you stop giving everything unlimited access to your energy.✨ 3. Guard 10 minutes with God.Open your Bible app, whisper a prayer while folding laundry, or jot a verse on a sticky note. Those 10 minutes reset the whole day.🕊️ Little shifts create holy margin. And margin creates space for peace, presence, and joy.#unbusymePic Credit: © Yevgeniya131988 | Dreamstime.com ... See MoreSee Less

I will say she landed on the opposite scale of dress style she had planned on. But it spoke to her and she looks beautiful. Pictures to come (after the prom 🤪).

It took me many years to realize how healthy, last It took me many years to realize how healthy, lasting growth works its way out from the inside.

If you've hit a wall, stop. 

That's right, go ahead and stop right there. Find out what it takes for you to breathe in a healthy manner. And then, you begin again. 

Maybe you take the same route but with more gear for the trip. Maybe you take a detour completely. But the most important thing is that you choose to begin again.

This Bible is fast becoming another favorite because there’s no better way for the young women in your life to experience God’s heart for them than through his Word.
