Write Where It Hurts

God has used writing in my life in a powerful way. As a word-lover, an author, I’ve learned this, how sometimes we write for publication, yes, but how sometimes we write simply to reconcile. To uncover truths and connect dots in ways that sometimes aren’t possible until we sit quiet with the pressing questions.

Today, I’m passionate about writing as a healing tool. You’ll find Write Where It Hurts a connection point, an invitation to women and conversations that bring healing. We need that, don’t we? A place where can we can drop all the masks and cut through the hard stuff.

Come join us. In our online community here, you’ll find hope, encouragement, and practical tools along with a challenge to live intentionally. Pull up a chair. Grab a spot of tea, or your favorite java. Be encouraged and inspired as you connect with other brave-hearted women who have faced unfathomable trials with courage. Risk the writing challenges, and be rewarded with a fresh perspective of your own.

What’s Your Spirit?

Guest Post by Lisa Easterling As disillusioned as I have been at times in my life, particularly considering past church experience (which ironically has not affected my love for God at all), one fact remains: I love people. Not just people who are nice, or people I know, or even people I know well. I […]

Guest Post by Cindie Thomas Two years ago my Pastor asked me to attend a luncheon a local church was hosting for a Crisis Pregnancy Center. I readily agreed to go, as I wanted to hear the center’s director speak. The pro-life movement had tugged on my heart for a long time. Maybe this would […]

Guest Post by Aubrey Washer Last summer as I wandered through the back yard to check for roof damage from the previous night’s windstorm I noticed that two of my sunflowers had been bent and the stems were broken in places.

🌿 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.
