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.

When you remember your bullies by name

February 25, 2013January 20, 2014 Jo Ann Fore Leave a comment Write Where It Hurts

I remember the names of my bullies. All of them. First and last, for the meanest. Their faces are etched on my memory in dark red ink. I was bullied for my small size, for my intelligence, for being “teacher’s pet” because I worked hard in school. I tried not to stray too far from […]

Why we rest when we’d rather run

February 21, 2013January 20, 2014 Jo Ann Fore Leave a comment Write Where It Hurts

Column Post by Laura Hyers My goal for 2013 is to run a half-marathon. 13.1 miles in 2013. Catchy, right? I tell people about this and I get mixed responses. There are those who are greatly encouraging, who get wide-eyed and excited and ask questions about how I’m preparing and how I feel. And then […]

When You Just Don’t Believe In Valentine’s

February 14, 2013January 20, 2014 Jo Ann Fore 3 Comments Write Where It Hurts

Column post by Laura Hyers “It’s materialistic and stupid,” my husband, Caleb, said when I asked him why he hates (loathes) Valentine’s Day. “We should care for each other every day, not just one day out of the year. Its just dumb. It was invented by Hallmark. Well, perpetuated. It is what it is now […]

Those Times We Get Caught Without A Valentine

Column post by Aj Luck Candy, cards, stuffed bears, and balloons … they peered at me from every corner of each store I dared to step foot in this week. Preparing for a celebration. Valentine’s day.

30 Bricks to build a forever romance

I’ve been asked how we’ve stayed so crazy in love even after 32 years of marriage. I thought I would share 30 of the bricks with which we’ve built our forever romance. Brick #1: God is first and central to everything we are, and all we do, say, and think. Brick #2: We try not […]

Column Post by Laura Hyers There’s this thing that happens at my house. I call it Crazy Tuesday.

🌿 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 🤪).

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.
