Welcome to My Journal!
UPDATE: I’ve moved my regular writing to Substack! This is now my archives.
Here on my blog, I love to write personal stories, truths I’m learning from studying Scripture, lessons I’ve learned from those wiser than me, and what God is teaching me through writing.
I’d for you sit back in your favourite chair while the little ones sleep or while you’re on break from work and read a bit of what I’m thinking on these days. Feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts of your own!
Reminding Ourselves to Forgive
Forgiveness gave me back the friends I lost, but not just after we said the words, "I forgive you." Forgiveness is a journey, not just a destination.
The Empty Pursuit of Forgiving Yourself
I wanted to find healing for my guilt. I knew many of the Bible verses that talked about forgiveness, but that didn’t feel like enough. No matter how many people told me that was a thing of past and I was forgiven, this guilt seemed to lay heavier on me each day. I poured my heart out to an older friend, and she hit me with a hard truth I did not expect: You don’t need to forgive yourself.
