It’s a new year and time to rethink, rearrange, and redo!
We’re in the thick of that around here — we did a rethink and now we’re rearranging and redoing our basement.

Three Boundaries That Will Set You Free
Oh girl, I need boundaries!
Just like a child is more secure when she has boundaries, I am learning that I am more free to be me when I have boundaries too.
As I’m learning how to identify with my identity and find myself in God’s view of me, I am learning that boundaries help me.
Boundaries help me stay close to God and my true identity.
How to Be Victorious Over Your Enemy
Sometimes life can get crazy, can’t it?
The car breaks down… your phone won’t stop ringing… the dishwasher floods the kitchen… your child loses his homework… your computer crashes… your dad is in the hospital… the dog, well never mind. You get the idea.
It just seems like sometimes we get pelted with big stuff and little stuff… one thing after another.
That is how it was in our house last week. Stuff, stuff, stuff!
All God’s Girls Got Issues: 2 Ways To Get Rid of Yours
If there was ever a poster girl for a woman with lots of issues, it’s the woman with the issue of blood whose story is in Mark 5. I know, I know, you thought I was going to say it was you, right?! It often feels like it could be me, too!
This woman lived thousands of years ago, but she is so much like us today. She had issues—actually one big issue- She had been hemorrhaging for twelve years. (v. 25, 26)
Are Feelings Supposed to Serve and Strengthen Us?
Dear Jennifer,
I am facilitating a small group of 4 other women through the MM&L study. It is FANTASTIC! Thank you for the work you did to put it together. We are all benefiting so much from all there is to learn.
We all were confused by your statement that “feelings are supposed to serve and strengthen us.” What do you mean by that? We get how the good emotions can strengthen us, but we really didn’t understand how our feelings are supposed to serve us.
Sincerely, Jenn

How Do You Respond to Hurtful Comments?
Dear Jennifer,
I am legally blind with retinitis pigmentosa. I have spent lots of time leaning how to do things like crochet, run my home, take part in church activities, etc. It has been a challenge, as you well know, but God has helped me all the way. Many times I am told, “You can’t be too blind or you couldn’t do that” from sighted people, and I have to admit it hurts some. With all of your accomplishments, do you get that response and does it bother you, or am I just being too sensitive or proud? How do you respond to it?
Wanda
