  Those times when life’s not working out like we thought it should—it creates a unique stress, no? A twisting of the heart and mind that holds a false sense of power over our choices. A crushing loss of hope that comes when we feel this hard may never end, the one that drives us […]

When Story Heals the Wounded Places

November 13, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 7 Comments Tell Your Story, Uncategorized, When A Woman Finds Her Voice

How do you act, what do you say, when you feel nothing? When the hurts have ripped carmine-red, when the bad news and  lame excuses echo empty, but the tears have dried? Whoever said words don’t hurt, they lied. There is a pain that worms its way into our hearts and relationships, our very lives, everything […]

When You Step Away From Your Feelings

November 12, 2013March 7, 2014 Sarah Knepper 8 Comments Uncategorized, Write Where It Hurts

Sometimes thoughts get jumbled in my mind and I say things that mean just the opposite of what I’m thinking. Does this ever happen to you? I’ll be doing a normal task and out of nowhere a thought or word spoken triggers a memory from long ago and all I can focus on is the […]

A Better December

I have my Christmas tree up. I thought that might be mine and my grand-daughter Lacey Jane’s lil secret until I was blessed with a visit from Sarah Knepper and her beautiful family, but even then I swore Sarah to secrecy because I couldn’t fathom admitting that I had my Christmas tree up in October.

When God {Really} Is Enough

October 30, 2013January 25, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 19 Comments Uncategorized, When A Woman Finds Her Voice

“It’s time—hurry up! Be quiet. Stay out of sight, or else.” Carol’s mother forced her and her siblings beneath two single beds. It was stifling hot, humid, and hard to breathe—an awful place to be stuck on a sunny afternoon. Tucked in the attic, the children didn’t dare allow any sound to escape. That upper […]

When A Woman Finds Her Voice

September 11, 2013March 7, 2014 Jo Ann Fore Uncategorized

  There’s something that happens when brokenness stains a woman’s spirit. Have you, or someone you know, ever fallen silent? Felt unable to express yourself because you were misunderstood, attacked, or criticized in some way? Have you ever hurt so badly you felt the pain might never go away? Worse, have you felt this sharp pull to […]

The Necessity of Brokenness

September 5, 2013March 7, 2014 Rita Schulte 1 Comment Uncategorized, Write Where It Hurts

Suffering and sorrow are inevitable parts of life. Loved ones die. Dreams crumble. We lose things that were once important to us. The happily-ever-after life we dreamed of is often a far cry from the reality we live. How we respond to loss and change determines what happens to our hearts. It also determines if […]

I used to think pushing through exhaustion meant I was strong. So I kept going—until I had nothing left to give and wanted to walk away from some things I still loved.That’s when I learned the hard way what Michelle Bengtson shared in a recent post: Sometimes we don’t need to quit. We need to rest.Some days, I’m still learning to take a break without calling it a failure. Have you ever had to learn that lesson, too?#unbusyme#restoration ... See MoreSee Less

Come, let us have some tea and talk about living life from a place of rest.

Lacey snapped a pic today when we were grabbing so Lacey snapped a pic today when we were grabbing some yarn. Y’all!! I’ve been battling crippling vertigo most of this year and I cannot sit in a stylists chair so it’s been left to its own. 

I am a fan of long hair but this is INSANE for me. 😂

Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how appreciative Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how appreciative I am for the incredibleness of Lacey Jane. 

With a maturity far beyond her years, yesterday she stood by my side and held my shaky hands for a surgery I have dreaded for months. 

Surgery of any kind is a difficult ordeal for me, since my body often reacts unpredictably due to underlying health issues making recovery difficult. 

But Step by step, prayer by prayer, we have successfully navigated  the first 24 hours in a way that promises an effective and uncomplicated recovery! (Incredibly grateful to those who have also carried me with prayer!)

Hey guys — this post is at Lacey’s request. Hey guys — this post is at Lacey’s request. 

Because I have always used social media as a mixture of work and personal life, a lot of you don’t personally know Lacey, but ironically many of you have prayed for her over the years. So she has a special request today for all of us: 

Will you please pray for my dad, Luke? He has recently been (shockingly)  diagnosed with Lukemia and is in the hospital for treatment. My dad is brave and knows God.  He is a warrior but he also needs people praying for him! Also if you will please pray for his family there and his family here. Thank you very much. ❤️

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 🤪).
