Guest Post by Lisa Easterling In a Bible study I did a few years ago I read about the covenant friendship David and Jonathan shared. It began with a mention of how we sometimes feel instant kinship with another person, like we’ve known one another for years. And then there are those people we truly have […]
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.

A Jonah Story
Guest Post by Kelly Heuer Have you ever been told that some things happen because you didn’t pray hard enough? Your parents got a divorce; it was because you didn’t pray enough. You discovered that your son has a drug addiction; you didn’t pray hard enough. Maybe your brother went to prison; it was most […]
Rules of Engagement for Moving Through Life’s Losses
Guest Post by Rita Schulte Our world is in constant turmoil. Everyone seems to be defending a cause or fighting a battle. Whether it’s the war on terrorism or defending a cause (morality, sexual equality, right to life, right to choose, etc.), our fight is always indicative of our passion and tells the story of […]
Responding to Injustice
Guest Post by Lisa Easterling Looking backward at how I’ve responded—or perhaps more appropriately termed reacted—to injustice can be a pretty humbling thing. A key point in my Bible study this week is David’s response to injustice and tragedy. The text points to Scripture where David got word of the slaughter of innocent people. He […]
A Little Detour
Guest Post by Shea Clarke I’m taking a little detour this week…I just felt that I needed to touch base with you all for a second or two. I have received so much incredible feedback both here at WWIH and privately. So much feedback, in fact, that it has taken me a bit by surprise. […]
“I’ll Go”
Guest post by Kate Powers I spent the early morning in a half-asleep state while the baby napped after her early feeding. The day was off to a great start. I fully enjoyed the special treat of staying in bed past 5:00 AM. Finally it was time to begin the day. I went downstairs […]
Grace in Fire
Guest post by Kelly Heuer I was 12 when Grandpa had a seizure. He was taken to the hospital for all the usual tests. It wasn’t much later when that we learned he had a brain tumor. I remember sitting in the waiting room with the rest of my larger-than-should-be-legal family for our turns to […]
This Little Light of Mine
Guest post by Lisa Easterling I remember back in 2008 I had been dealing with asthma and respiratory issues for two months, and although I’d been calmer and more trusting of God than ever, the stress on my mind and body had taken a toll. Steve had lost probably 30 pounds in a six-month period […]
Broken Promises
Guest post by Shea Clarke I had seen signs early in the relationship that sent up warning flares: Beware! Danger! Do not proceed! It was things like him demanding to know where I had been when I had been out with my friends, leaving an obsessive number of messages when I wasn’t home, being angry […]
