What an exciting Wednesday! Today I am over at Kris Camealy’s website with a guest post as part of the launch of her new Advent Devotional, Come, Lord Jesus: The Weight of Waiting. I shared her book on Instagram last week and I can’t recommend it enough. As I wrote on my review on amazon.com: Perhaps […]
Listen to my MOPS talk “Self-Care is Sou
We are in a busy season, here in the Everson household. Packed in a way I could not have envisioned a year ago. At the end of September/beginning of October I staffed a weekend for Women’s Walk with Christ in North Carolina. Then Tim staffed a Marked Men for Christ weekend in Colorado. In between […]
The Promise I Turn to When the Hurt is T...
The world is hurting. Every day there is news of more violence. Shootings across America. Terrorism in the Middle East. Planes crashing. Refugees dying. Rape victims meeting more injustice. Hurt. Tears. Pain. And at times I feel it all. Highly sensitive to the hurts of others, it is easy for me to take it into […]

I pray also for those who will believe in me… that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may […]

How to Find God :: A fresh look at Jerem...
For years my prayers to God were calls of tears for Him to come to me. Holy Spirit, come! Jesus, Come! Abba, Father, Come! I would cry in agony, feeling that if I just evoked enough emotion, showed my need, my earnest heart before Him, then maybe He would grace me with his presence. God’s […]
Don’t Worry: On Birds, Grass, and the Ag
I have sat down to write this post about 15 times. Sometimes on paper, others in my head. Each attempt to document the changes and uncertainties of our life, I find myself tongue tied. Paralyzed. Unable to describe where we are. Where I am. We have been in Minnesota for 9 weeks now. We have seriously considered […]
Life without space is no life at all {#w...
Last Monday was the most Monday of all Mondays. At 9am, things were sort of quiet around the house and I thought to myself, Perfect! I have a chance to read today’s “She Reads Truth” devotional. I was halfway through the psalm of the day when Ben walked into the room, “I pooped my pants.” […]
Utopia? :: {with Natalie Eastman on Mama...
There are few things more important to me than studying the Bible. I know I have spent little time actually discussing the process of studying scripture here on this blog, but for five years teaching people how to study the Bible was my job. My passion. I believe that studying the Bible is the most […]
