The Passover

The Passover

The night was the same as every annual Passover meal that had preceded it for generations… but SO much different! 

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, 

saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out 

for many for the forgiveness of sins.” Matthew 26:27-28 (NIV)

Passover began when God rescued the Israelites from Egyptian slavery as He birthed His people into a nation. With instructions to use a lamb’s blood to cover their doorposts, the Hebrew households were saved from the destroyer who “passed over them,” while first born Egyptians were killed.

How Are You?

How Are You?

It gets asked too much and not enough. The importance of this question in relationships hit differently recently when I went to RSVP for a wedding. I hopped on the wedding website and after finishing my response, a second box popped up. It said, “What is the best advice you have for marriage?” I’ve been married for six years, which hardly means I have some sage wisdom to offer, but surely there was something I’ve learned of value. I thought for a while, leaving the safari window open on my phone. What could I put here that has been helpful for my marriage? 

Becoming

Becoming

Everyday, we are becoming something. We are either becoming more like the world or more like Jesus. As Christians, we can often ask ourselves, “How do I become like Christ?” Personally, if this question is asked, I immediately come up with a to-do list: read my Bible, pray, go to church, serve, bear good fruit, etc. I could come up with a million ways to become more like Christ and if I could figure out a way to perform some miracles here and there, then I would really be set! 

Self Care Ain’t All Manis and Massages

Self Care Ain’t All Manis and Massages

Sometimes self care can get a bad reputation, especially in the Christian world. “Aren’t we supposed to serve others?” “Shouldn’t I think of others before myself?” These are common questions I get asked when helping women move towards prioritizing themselves so they no longer feel overwhelmed wanting to escape and numb their lives.

Jesus Liked to Fix Things, Too

Jesus Liked to Fix Things, Too

Hello. My name is Gayle and I’m a Fixer. I first discovered I had the problem when my kids were preschoolers. But I found I was pretty good at fixing things, so I kept at it. A Band-Aid for a scraped knee, a bottle and a nap for a cranky infant, a time-out for an allegation of a snatched-away toy. Yea! I think I got this!

Jesus Had to Juggle, Too

Jesus Had to Juggle, Too

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I can get bogged down by the daily juggle: people to love, places to be, and priorities to keep. It can feel like when one area is thriving, something else is lacking. Although our lives in 2023 are quite different from the ancient middle-eastern culture Jesus lived in, I find comfort in knowing that no matter the differences, He truly gets us.
