I’m busting out of the “curated online mold” for a moment because sometimes we just need to remind each other that none of our lives are as pretty behind the scenes as they often appear to be on the screens. As I walked past my child’s room yesterday, it stopped me in my tracks. And… Continue reading You’re Only Human

Some days, I love social media. Other days, I’d be perfectly fine if it disappeared into oblivion. On one hand, it allows us the privilege of getting to know sisters-in-Christ from all over the world, spur one another on, be able to share gospel hope with those we’d never cross paths with otherwise, and be… Continue reading Social Media and the Trap of Comparison for Women
