faithpondering: a conversation about faith, life, and tea.

  • Striving for Perfection

    I come from a long line of perfectionists.  I’m not going to list names because I don’t want to embarrass anyone, but you know who you are!  That personality disposition has manifested itself in my life and I’m seeing it now more than ever. It hurts to say it because the truth hurts sometimes, but…

  • Prayer request

    All our blogging friends, please pray for Holly as she takes a certification test for Speech Language Pathology tomorrow morning.  You’ve probably noticed she hasn’t contributed this week to the blog.  She’s been busy studying! Is there anything we can talk to God about for you?  Just leave it in the comments section. Do not…

  • What did I just say!

    Did you ever say something you wished you could take back?  You know, open mouth and insert foot.  In our families don’t we just sometimes say the meanest, most thoughtless things? I know I have and do at times.  One time I was so exasperated at the shenanigans of my daughters, that I blurted out ‘you…

  • Five Unusual Signs of Blessing

    ‘God bless you.’  I’ve said that to people, have you?  What do we mean when we say that?  I think I’ve meant – ‘may everything go your way’. But some of the ways Jesus described blessing in the Bible seem to be a little different.  In Matthew 5, in what is called the Beatitudes, Jesus…

  • Stacy

    Last year while living in Columbia, I had the great privilege of attending a Bible study led by Stacy, a very Godly woman in my church.  What I loved most about the way that she taught was seeing the genuineness and realness of her relationship with the Lord.  He really was living and present in every aspect…

  • The little ones

    Today’s blog is a little different.  Since our blog is centered around conversations of faith and life, we felt compelled to pay tribute to all the little ones who have lost their lives in the last 40 years since Roe v Wade, over 50 million of them. We sympathize with women in hard, hard places…

  • What a day for the nation!

    It’s here, the one day  every four years that we swear  a President into office for four years.  I gotta tell you, I feel a lump in my throat when I see such an exuberant, joyful, majestic and regal event bringing the nation together.  There are few countries where such an event like this can take place…

  • The Perfect Day(s)

    In my 30 years, I can say with confidence that I’ve lived two perfect days.  One was the day I married my best friend and the other was a day that I spent in Charleston, SC with my sister.  They were two totally different days, but both were perfect in their own unique ways. My…

  • I think I’m an addict

    These days I find myself online a lot, and when I say a lot I mean A LOT!  With wifi from cell phones, I can be plugged in 24-7.  My husband says I have an IV hookup to the internet. What started as a habit has over time become, dare I say it, maybe even…
