Tetelestai = Your bill is paid in full.

Tetelestai - Paid in Full

I vividly recall my third grade teacher admonishing us with, “Cakes are done, people are finished.” It’s why when someone tells me, “I’m done,” I silently respond, “Actually, you’re finished.”  But even that isn’t necessarily clear, is it? Finished is used in many situations, including competitions, meals, work, preparation, and people. In the latter case, […]

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. But it was the type of dirty we just lived with—not a crisis, certainly a low priority.  Given these non-tilt-in windows […]

It’s all about the preparation

When it comes to us being able to hear the truth... it's all about the preparation

With a pandemic-fueled hunger for truth, this summer I decided to double-down on my scripture reading. So I started a Dwell App* plan that completes the Bible in 90 days. I’d read the Bible-in-a-year before, but an hour a day felt like a challenge.  I wasn’t wrong. I spent 67.5 hours immersed in the Old […]

The Battle Cry of Tharseo

At the end of 2020, I decided I wanted to spend more time engaging in activities that encourage me and give me hope. One of those activities is writing.* So, I spent the better part of 2021 in a writer’s mentorship program, growing my connections with other writers and flexing my writing muscles (a lot). […]

“The poor and homeless are desperate for water, their tongues parched and no water to be found. But I’m there to be found, I’m there for them, and I, God of Israel, will not leave them thirsty.” – Isaiah 41:17 (MSG) Normally, book club was a highlight of my month, well at least a bright […]

Fear #5 (from Adopted for Daily Life

Philippians 4:6-7

Five years ago, I helped put together a devotional, specifically for fostering/adopting moms. Never would I have imagined that five years later, I’d be re-reading the book as part of its target audience. This week I’m sharing the thoughts of my friend Tonja. She and her family lived with us during a portion of their fostering […]

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.
