Reflections on Temptation from Peter's Sifting

You’re a failure.You can’t possibly succeed in this.You don’t know what you’re doing.What’s the point? Do any of those statements sound familiar? They do for me.

Noticing My Messes and Being Inspired to Clean Up

April 12, 2022 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

Ever gotten so used to a mess you didn't really notice it anymore?

My windows were really dirty. My office shares space with my bedroom, so I spend an exorbitant amount of time looking through these windows, and it had been months since they had been cleaned.

ASSURANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR: CHRISTIANS WILL MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” The first verse from the eleventh chapter of Hebrews was delicately stitched and framed on the wall behind the door. It caught my eye and gave me pause as I considered the double meaning. Yes, Faith definitely lived up to […]

An Anxiety Bomb of Lies and a Sacrifice of Praise

October 16, 2021 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

Her comment came when I wasn’t expecting it. The criticism was dropping into the conversation as if it belonged there, like a burglar demanding a seat at the family dinner table. The actual comment didn’t immediately throw me off. What I didn’t realize, however, was that I allowed it to crack open a door 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.
