It’s My Birthday—But the Gift Is for You! 🎁

Thank you. 🙏🏻 So many of you replied, letting me know you’d be praying with Dave and me for the sale of our house. That means the world to us. 🥹 We don’t have an offer yet, but showings are picking up—progress! Thank you for standing with us in prayer. Giveaway! 🎉 It’s my birthday month, and I want to celebrate with YOU! 🎂 🥳 For the first 25 readers in the U.S. who reply to this email with #HappyBirthdayGiveaway, I’ll send a code for a complimentary audiobook copy of Choosing A Way Out: When the Bottom Isn’t the Bottom. (UK readers—I have a few codes for you too!) 📚 Know someone who needs hope? If you or someone you love could use encouragement in a betrayal situation, I’d love to send a personalized, autographed paperback as a gift. You can order as many copies as you’d like [here] for just a $6 shipping fee per book. Reflect Another year of life is a reminder that God sees me—and He sees you too. His name El-Roi means “the God who sees.” Have you ever needed that reassurance? Let Psalm 23 (NLT) sink in:
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. No matter what this season holds, God is with you, guiding you, providing for you. 🙏🏻 May I pray for you? Dear God, Thank You for the gift of life and for the ways You remind us that we are seen, known, and loved. As Reader reflects on their journey, may they be assured that You are their Shepherd, guiding them through every season—joyful celebrations and the uncertain waiting. God, if Reader is holding onto a dream or a deep longing, strengthen their faith to trust Your perfect timing. Let them feel Your peace if they are in a season of waiting. If they are searching for hope, surround them with Your unfailing love. And if they know someone who needs encouragement, give them the boldness to extend Your grace and truth. Thank You for pursuing Reader with goodness and mercy. May they rest in the promise that You are close, always providing, always leading. Amen. |

This past week has been filled with concerns. One of the heaviest is the sale of our home. We’re approaching the one-year mark since we listed it, and we’re not sure what to do. We believe we are where God wants us, yet the house remains unsold. So we ask God, What are you doing? Did we mishear you? Maintaining two residences has stretched us financially. Thankfully, we have wonderful neighbors and a great realtor keeping an eye on things. And God continues to provide for every need. Still,...
Sometimes, you simply don’t want to do something. Like… Write a letter. ✍️ Have that difficult conversation. 🗣️ Do the dishes. 🧽 Clean the bathroom. 🚽 Get those test results. 👩⚕️ Face your fear head-on. 😨 Be an adult. 🤷♀️ (My grown kids call this adulting 😀) Sometimes you’d rather skip it. Ever feel this way? When you do, remember you don’t have to face any of this alone. God remains closer than the air you breathe. I needed this reminder today. Consider A couple of months ago, I shared a...
Growing up, February was a month packed with celebrations—my brother and sister’s birthdays, Valentine’s Day (Mom made it extra fun!), and two presidential birthdays that meant days off from school. Back then, we had Lincoln’s birthday (Feb. 12) and Washington’s birthday (Feb. 22) off—until Congress consolidated them into Presidents’ Day on the third Monday of the month. Presidents Washington and Lincoln understood the importance of faith woven into every part of life. Like our Founding...
