These are the things I am learning about: connecting, redemption, judgement, and freedom. The Lord has been speaking to me lately about these things. This morning, Christ spoke to me about how afraid we all are to be exposed. The exposure and the light hurt pride. And when we become Christians, our pride doesn’t automatically […]

Narcolepsy is a burden just like my old maiden name was for so long. I have been married for almost two and a half years, and I just changed my last name from Burden (my maiden name) to Anderson (my married name). I majorly procrastinated on the arduous task of changing my name. I am

I like to write, but the pressure gets to me. I struggle with wanting to write for myself and for others. In the past, I have pretty much just written for myself, which I think is more comfortable for me. I want to get my thoughts out of my head, so I write them on

We all have pet peeve sins that get under our skin and make us itch. Jon, my husband, and I have different pet peeve sins – something we’ve known about each other for a while. I hate arrogance and dishonesty in all forms, and I have little tolerance for know-it-all behavior. Jon hates self-absorption and

I recently wrote a prayer to the Lord. For the past few months, I have been listening to a podcast called The Glorious in the Mundane by Christy Nockels. On episode 21, she read a prayer she had written to the Lord. Her prayer moved and inspired me to write a prayer to the Lord

Writing is hard for me. I am tempted to write and erase every other line, but I know that I can’t enjoy writing when I am trying to be perfect. My writing will never be above reproach, and that is okay. At least, that is what I am trying to convince myself of at the
