Just Keep Swimming: Being Gutsy Instead of Ashamed
I have recently made a decision to be braver than I think I am. Have you ever made a resolution like that? To just believe in something even if you're swimming upstream? It started with hearing a biblical woman described as "gutsy" in a weekend sermon. Something about...
Dear Girl With Glasses

I'm not the only one who's had life hit them upside the head, right? My 30s have definitely topped my 20s for learning who God is and who he created me to be. Once I let go of expectations others had for me, I dove head first into the freedom that Christ gives...
(Encouragement for Battling Eating Disorders) Dear Friend: Eat
Last week was National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. I've blogged a little about my own battle with disordered eating here. Today, I've invited Jessica Otto to share her story and some encouragement for battling eating disorders. Here's her letter to those who...
When Someone Brings Up Your Weight: A Cheesecake Dilemma
Have you ever had someone bring up YOUR weight or the topic of weight loss during dinner? Do you stop eating? Hide your body under the table cloth? Defend yourself with your food journal? Here's a dilemma many of us can all relate to and how contributor Summer handled...
The Urge to Overexplain
I suffer from a chronic condition. A condition called "overexplaining." I didn't realize I experienced this type of disease until the birth of my third child. The child who didn't latch right for nursing, the child diagnosed with lip and tongue tie, the child who I...
