I started a garden this year, because my friend Beth said I should. I was a little bit worried that I would just kill everything and waste my time (which is still a distinct possibility), but she believed in me and so I did it. Sweat poured as I dug up the ground, mud splattered…
This week I was reading John 4:10. Jesus had gone to Samaria and was sitting to rest by the well. A Samarian woman had come to the well to get water. In that culture, Jews didn’t talk to Samaritans. Jesus asked her for a drink. She was intrigued that this Jewish man would talk to…
Worry takes up space in my head. I run like a scared cat or I obey its commands. What would happen if I faced my fear in love? I live in a state where the mountain lion roam. Colorado is a beautiful place to live with trails for hikers to explore the Rockies. At every…

Meeting new people makes me anxious. I’m not one of those people who will go up and introduce myself to you. I’m definitely not the first one to raise my hand for a turn to talk in any group setting. I look for the nearest exit when someone heads my way to talk to me. …
What’s my testimony? How do I define it? I feel my testimony in Christ has different levels through different stages of my life. I grew up in a Christian home and I’ve always known who Jesus was. So when someone would ask about my testimony, sometimes I would say, “I don’t have one”. But of…
Overcoming My Obsession By Andrea Fortenberry When I see women exercising, I often wonder what motivates them to work out. Sometimes it reminds me of a sad chapter of my life — the days when I battled severe issues with body image. For much of high school, I based my worth on whether or not…
