Broken Jars and New Beginnings – Finding Freedom in Forgiveness

An important, but less recognized, aspect of mental health is forgiveness. Studies have found that the act of forgiveness can lower our risk of heart attack; improve cholesterol levels and sleep; and reduce pain, blood pressure, and levels of anxiety, depression and stress. Forgiveness is about decluttering our minds from the anger and bitterness that hurts us so we can move toward improved heath and healing. In today’s post, I share a powerful testimony of forgiveness that God used to set me free.

To My Friends With Chronic Pain Or Illness, I See You

To my friends with chronic pain or illness—I see you. I understand how much strength and energy it takes to endure pain every single day, and I know that just because you carry it well doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy. My prayer is that this letter and knowing you are not alone will lighten your burden. May God speak through your story, use it to set someone else free, and draw you closer to Himself so that you can be made whole.

Finding Hope in the Midst of Pain and Uncertainty

In today’s post, I’m reviewing the book, From Lost to Found – Giving Up What You Think You Want for What Will Set You Free, by Nicole Zasowski. Her story is one of heartache and healing, infertility and miscarriage, and uprooting an identity misplaced in worldly things to anchor her worth in Christ. It’s about finding hope outside of circumstance, breaking free from perfectionism and other strongholds, and trusting God will use our pain to transform us into His image. If you’re walking through a season of pain or uncertainty, you need to read this book! Visit my post to enter our giveaway and win a free copy!
