The s-word and transition

January 26, 2015 By Wendy Willard · 2 Comments ·

Sucky placeholder

[Warning: this post contains an excessive use of the word “sucks” because, well, it’s the best way to describe what’s going on. Sorry if that is a no-no word in your house. It used to be one in my house too, until life turned really sucky.] It’s been a month since we relocated back to […]

My flesh is so weak

December 26, 2014 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

Long lay the world in sin and error pining, 'Til He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.

This is the third time I am starting over on this post. What to say and how to say it? I haven’t written in a while, which usually happens when God’s working on a pretty big issue in my heart. And this time is no different. Whenever someone asks what is the number one thing […]

November 26, 2014 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

Previously, I told you about an adoption devotional I’m working on, specifically for adopting moms. I’m writing some of the weeks, and I’m privileged to have moms who’ve adopted writing other weeks. This sample is from Day 5 of the week on peace, written by Allison Cunningham. She and her family lived with us during […]

This is me having a moment

She ends her tirade by saying, “You can only take so […]

Prayer for a friend

Have you ever watched a friend or loved one walk a path fraught with pain, only to feel completely helpless? Or have you tried—again and again—to help someone make better choices, only to have that person throw it all back in your face? Been there. Doing that. So I pray (to cover the worry). I […]

The Hardest Peace

October 14, 2014 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

My hope is not in the absence of suffering and comfort returned. My hope is in the presence of the One who promises never to leave or forsake, the One who declares nothing “will be able to separate us from the love of God” (Romands 8:39). Nothing. - Kara Tippetts

There has been a lot of discussion recently about death and suffering. I first became aware of the current trends in this topic when confronted with the headline “My Right to Death With Dignity at 29.” I should have realized what the article would do to me, but somehow I clicked through anyway. And that […]

This goodness—the idea that God is incapable of anything that is not inherently good—should be a life vest wrapped around my every word, thought, and deed. Yet, the idea, “this isn’t right” feels like an undercurrent always capable of pulling me into the depths of despair.
